Since 1995 we've striven to create a natural horse care facility free from breed or discipline prejudices. Our focus is Natural Horsemanship and the bond it creates between horse & rider. To achieve this, we vow to keep our equine partners naturally healthy & happy (mentally and physically) for a long life of service and friendship in the arena and out on the trails. Facilities & services include: 45 acres of rolling hills, trees, lake, leins for shelter, on site hoof trimming, Natural Horsemanship training (for horses & their riding partners), riding lessons & lease horse program. Hoof rehabilitation & whole horse rehabilitation programs include: equine dentist, hoof trims, diet reformulation (herbs, essential oils, & organic supplements included), natural parasite program, chiropractic & acupuncture, massage & many other integrative therapies to accelerate wellness in the horse. We also keep our pastures natural and produce our own hay the organic way.

At Inside Out Horse Training, I believe in training the horse and horseman from within. By emphasizing the emotional well-being of a horse, the physical goals will be met sooner and more completely.   When the owner learns how to present himself to the horse in the clearest, least confrontational manner, there is no end to how far they can go as a team.

Mike & AnnMarie Cross, both experienced in rehabilitating, training/retraining rescued horses, also provide training services to help horse owners and horses become a productive team. There is so much we've learned with rescued horses that applies so easily to horses that have NOT had rough lives. Everything we do is by a gentle hand, based upon natural horsemanship, and even includes farrier training and trimming.
