Problem Horse Training

Whoa there! Yep, we've had our fair share. Over the years, we’ve had calls from horse owners at the end of their tether — from cheeky 12hh ponies who think bronc riding is a sport, to towering 17hh giants who reckon rearing is a better way to travel than walking.

We know how frustrating — and sometimes scary — it can be. That’s why we take a calm, comprehensive approach to every horse that comes through our gate. First up, we look for any underlying physical causes that might be behind the behaviour. Sore backs, ill-fitting gear, teeth problems — if there’s something making your horse uncomfortable, we want to get to the bottom of it before we even think about re-training.

If your horse has you scratching your head — or reaching for the rescue remedy — give Karen a call. She’s always happy to chat through what’s been going on and what you’d like to achieve.

Ready to turn things around?

Don’t put up with unwanted behaviour or feel like you’re in this alone. Whether your horse is being a handful or downright dangerous, we’re here to help. Give Karen a ring for a no-pressure yarn about your horse and what you’d like to achieve — or flick us a message using the contact form. Let’s get you and your horse back on the same page.

Feedback & Reviews​

"I have sent several mares to Karen to be served by Mighty Heights and have always been delighted with the care that they have received. She has always kept me informed of their progress and I have been confident that they have been treated with respect and understanding. The resulting offspring have also been exceptional and I will certainly be returning mares for the coming season."

"I bought Steve from Karen as my first hack a couple years ago. Steven is such a placid and kind natured horse. Karen has been helpful to me ever since I first saw him and still is to this day with maintaining my gorgeous boy. I feel very lucky to have him and from such a great place where he was able to mature and be ready to become my best mate!"

"I just wanted to write to say thank you and how privileged we feel to be the owners of a Mighty Heights horse.

The transition from ponies to hacks can sometimes be quite problematic. The amazing nature of the Mighty Heights progeny and the training you have put into them has made this transition for my daughter not only seamless but an absolute delight.

It has completely rebuilt her confidence and reignited her passion; something I am eternally grateful for.
