Who This Training Is For?
This mounted unit and public safety equine training program is designed for professionals and agencies who rely on horses in real-world operations and high-stress environments. While different agencies serve different missions, the core riding, communication, and horse-handling skills required are the same.
This training is ideal for:
Law enforcement and police departments
CHP (California Highway Patrol) and state highway patrol
Sheriff mounted units and mounted patrol teams
Search and rescue teams
Park rangers and national or state parks
Forestry services and Cal Fire
Fish & Wildlife and BLM
Emergency response and disaster response teams
Public safety professionals preparing for mounted unit assignments
Whether you are an individual preparing for mounted unit selection or a department training a team, this program focuses on the same operational fundamentals: confident riding, calm decision-making, clear communication, and a reliable partnership with the horse.
This Is Not Recreational Riding
This is professional, operational equine training designed specifically for law enforcement, CHP, search and rescue, park rangers, forestry, Cal Fire, and public safety professionals who operate in real-world, high-pressure environments.
Because of my own background and experience in law enforcement, I understand the realities of these situations and bring real-world operational perspective directly into the training. This program is built on practical experience, not theory or recreational riding methods.
This training prepares riders and horses for situations such as:
Crowd control on horseback
Riot response and public order situations
Wilderness and backcountry patrol
Emergency and disaster response operations
High-noise, high-movement, high-stress environments
We train riders to understand how horses think and react under stress, how rider emotions directly affect the horse, and how to stay calm, communicate clearly, and maintain control in chaotic and unpredictable situations. In public safety work, the horse reflects the rider.
