Our Services at
Daffodil Horsemanship
Individual Training & Tune Ups
From the spicy horse that wants to throw you into the fence to the one who just doesn't want to leave the barn or even the one that simply needs more rides put on them, we are here to offer our services. Our team of trainers are passionate about training horses and helping them reach their full potential.
We believe that every horse is unique and requires personalized attention to thrive. Our goal is to create a bond between the horse and the rider based on trust and mutual respect. Contact us to learn more about our services and how we can help you and your horse.
Gentling Services
At Daffodil Horsemanship, we specialize in offering mustang gentling services for new mustang adopters. Whether you're adopting from the Bureau of Land Management or from the US Forest Service, we are here to help! From assistance in filling out adoption forms to scouting for your next partner, both in-person and online, we offer a one-stop shop for the entire process.
When your horse leaves us after it's been gentled, it will be able to accept touch, halter and lead, load and unload in a trailer, back up, pick up all four feet, and be blanketed. We can offer additional training up to starting under saddle as needed for additional cost.

If you are a barn willing to host 2 - 5 new mustang owners, we would be thrilled to travel to your facilities to offer a full 3-day weekend mustang gentling clinic.
​
Training pens and horses must be provided by the hosting barn, facility, or attendees. Topics covered will include first touches, haltering, and leading with additional topics as appropriate for the individual horses.
Full Mustang Packages
For the brand new mustang owner that has no idea where to begin: this package takes your new mustang from selecting online or at a facility to first touch through starting the horse under saddle. Within reason, our team of expert haulers will pick up your horse from a satellite BLM or Forest Service pick up location and bring them directly to our facilities. Once here, your horse will spend 150 days with direct one-on-one training to bring them from their current wild state to willing partner. Our goal is to train your wild horse based on trust and mutual respect up to the point of being ready to back. Contact us to learn more about the Full Mustang Package.

Horseback Riding Lessons
In addition to our mustang gentling services, we also offer horseback riding lessons for beginning riders looking to learn all about horses from the ground up. Our lessons are designed to introduce you to horse anatomy and different disciplines, build your confidence from the ground to the saddle, and start your own personal adventure with horses. We believe that communication is key to successful horseback riding, and we teach our students how to communicate effectively with their horses through 'quiet hands.' Join us for a fun and educational experience on a one-time, weekly, or monthly basis.
**Lesson availability is dependent on current student roster and available horses.**
