Ashley Peterson Horse Training is focused on providing high-quality dependable horse training backed by many years of experience. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact me. My training structure is based around achieving true softness and a willing attitude. Regardless on what discipline you and your horse are working towards, learning how to use themselves correctly is of major importance to me. This helps you and your horse achieve its highest level of performance both mentally and physically.
Though out my career I have started over 1000 horses ranging from kids ponies to world champions. I strongly believe that how a horse is started under saddle sets them up for the rest of their riding career. I take what I have learned through my experience as well as from other top trainers and use them everyday in my successful colt starting and more advanced training program. Show primarily in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, Nebraska.
