Looking for Lynn Strand Training Center you're in the right place!   

       For 20 years STC has focused on the Novice and Intermediate Recreational Trail Riders with a time tested program of successful trail horse training along with "Confident Effective Horsemanship" which enables our riders to deal with the "common" and "not so common" situations that occur on the trail and/or in the arena.
      All horses are schooled in the same techniques with individualized attention to their strengths and weakness.The approach is simple. In most cases horses are by instinct "Herd Bound Animals" one leads and the rest follow. Horse owners must become aware of the "Herd Leader" role and how to use it fairly, so their horses quickly step into the place they are most comfort and confidence following a firm but gentle leader they can trust in almost all situations.This technique can be easily mastered by keeping the training and lines of communication for both the horse and rider at its simplest level, which means at STC both the horse and rider are able to find common ground, understanding and accomplishment.
