Welcome! CR Horsemanship offers a variety of services, tailored to each individual horse. 
Over the years the program has gradually shifted towards specializing in ponies and warmblood but will continue to start horses for all disciplines with the same belief in creating well rounded, good thinking equine partners who are happy and willing to step into any career.  Many of the horses started over the last 14 years and/or restarted, developed and progressed have continued into various careers including but not limited to dressage, endurance, roping, cowboy challenge, and family friendly, all around horses. Horses from across Alberta and British Columbia have been hauled out for starting, from a variety of neat breeders and individual owners. 

Requirements for all training horses are as follows;
  • Negative Coggins test prior to training. Unhandled horses allowed from October to March without only, remaining in quarantine. 
  • All horses must provide proof of Coggins and min 2/4way including EHV-1 and Influenza.
  • If your horse has had strangles previously- MUST be disclosed and whether pharyngeal wash (NOT regular PCR test as this is not sufficient to determine whether carrier) to clear them. 
  • Teeth, farrier, deworming for ALL handled horses prior to arrival OR a pre-arranged vet date for all of the above if unhandled. 
  • All owners sending personal horses ideally must attend a minimum of 4 INCLUDED lessons during the duration of training (location permitting). Owners may attend weekly, or as often as they wish. 
  • Deposits to hold spaces at the time of booking. Non-refundable.
