Gentling is the first step in building trust and partnership with a wild or unhandled horse. At Whispering Oaks Horsemanship, we focus on preserving the horse’s natural spirit while teaching them to feel safe and confident around humans.
Our gentling process includes:
Introducing handling and touch gradually, so the horse learns to trust without fear.
Haltering and leading at a pace the horse is comfortable with.
Groundwork basics, including yielding to pressure, respecting personal space, and responding to cues.
Confidence-building exercises, helping the horse feel secure in new situations.
Every horse progresses at its own pace. The goal is not to force compliance but to create a willing, confident partner who is ready for further training, riding, or adoption. This service is ideal for new adopters, rescues, or organizations seeking a smooth, safe transition for wild horses or burros.
Price: $1,000/month (minimum 60 days)
