| Equine Excellence Award™ Program on taking your first step to creating the horse of your dreams! The Equine Excellence Award ™ (EEA)evaluation is a recognition program designed to reward equines for good manners. This affordable coaching program offers horse owners a logical training plan to lay a solid foundation for all future training. It employs a consistent set of criteria to evaluate equines in a positive and non-competitive manner. Graduates of the program who pass the 8-step EEA ™ evaluation are eligible for certification. This fun and useful program recognizes you for responsible training of your equine and also recognizes your equine for behaviors that rate them as 1st class equine citizens. Working together through the training, you and your equine will develop a deeper connection that will manifest throughout all your interactions, whether on the ground or in the saddle. Current EEA™ participants include breeders, riding clubs, trail riders and show organizations to name a few. Our expert staff and program developers thank you for participating in the EEA™. We all wish you much success with the program and all your future equestrian adventures together! Training Philosophies Over the past decade, Natural Horsemanship has become quite popular. This technique focuses on using the systems that are inherent in our horse’s everyday lives. They use the teaching concept of well-timed, pressure and release of pressure, to train them. They are extremely effective and when applied respectfully, result in a well trained, responsive animal. The most recent addition to this focus on the horse’s natural learning environment is the use of positive reinforcement. Training systems that have incorporated this use a marker and reward system. It creates a safe, precise and positive communication system between trainer and animal. The marker sound signals to your equine when it has performed the desirable behavior and links this behavior to the reinforcer (something the animal will work for) that follows. This enhanced natural equine learning method promotes an optimal, accelerated and highly motivating system to communicate with your equine. It enables you to be an effective communicator by promoting a step by step approach to your training in calm, motivating environment. The Equine Excellence Award ™ Program can provide you with the tools to develop your equine partner to their highest potential. Meet our newest Advisory Board members !
