Professional Horse Trainer at BCHR

Learn how we gentle our horses and make a deeper connection with them

Many of our horses arrive at the rescue suffering from past trauma and abuse. They may be difficult to halter, cannot stand still for the farrier and often resist being touched by humans.

For the safety of our horses and our volunteers, we work to gentle our horses so that they will be less fearful and more trusting of humans, as well as with their herds.

We’ve enlisted a professional horse trainer who will conduct hour-long training sessions for several of our horses who are still skittish and afraid, or who may struggle with human touch.

We invite you to take part in these sessions

Sponsor one or several training sessions and you’ll work directly with professional trainer Rob Gilbert, of Rob’s Trail Training,
to help him gentle our horses. By doing so you will learn the fundamentals of equine groundwork, haltering, leading and other exercises while forging a connection with the horse.

$125 for one training session

$315 for 3 sessions at $105/each session *with potential for hands-on instruction

$450 for 5 sessions at $90 each session *with potential for hands-on instruction

Sessions will be held on Thursdays at 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. at the farm.*

This is a unique opportunity for you to have a direct impact on improving the quality of life for our horses, as well connecting more deeply with them. These sessions also make meaningful gifts for any occasion!

Your generosity and support of this initiative truly helps us to bring our mission to life.
