Training & Evaluation Training

At Vindsdalur Icelandic Horse Farm we have over 30 years of experience training horses in Canada, Germany and Iceland, and nearly 20 years of training exclusively Icelandic horses. Vindsdalur Trainer Jelena Ohm, graduate of Holar College in Iceland, is now one of North America's very few Certified Icelandic Horse Trainers. We strive to stay up-to-date with new training methods fresh from Iceland. This experience and schooling enables us to confidently train your horse from the start to show level.

We offer TRAINING and EVALUATION TRAINING monthly packages.

TRAINING

We start training all our horses using natural horsemanship and the “skala of dressage”. Each horse is then trained based on their individual pace and ability to build up their trust, strength, balance and flexibility.

Our own horses have placed first in pleasure classes and sport competition, and are also used for teaching young beginner riders.

We are able to train horses year around at our farm in Vanderhoof, BC. At home on the farm we have a roundpen, dressage arena, excellent trail conditions and comfortable housing quarters for our horses. Within minutes from the farm in Vanderhoof we have access to a large indoor arena and 250m Icelandic Track, built in 2005 specifically for Icelandic horses.

Training Rate: $600.00 per horse/month + GST (CAN$)

EVALUATION TRAINING

More and more owners realize the importance of having their breeding horses evaluated, and of course we want to encourage and help with that plan! An evaluation is your opportunity to show and document the value and talents of your horse by trained judges.

For the evaluation your horse should be in it's best shape, so we are offering a long-term evaluation presentation plan that will get your horse ready for an evaluation. This plan will cover all aspects - from nutrition, to training, to shoeing, and of course presenting at the event. While in training (we recommend 2-3 months for a trained horse) the horse gets high quality grain and supplement feed on top of pasture time and/or hay, balanced to help reach their best performance. High quality shoeing can also be arranged.
