Horse Training with Cody Harrison

 

At CH Equine, it is of the utmost importance that your horse is sound, happy, and fit. Whether your horse needs a first ride, re-training, or continued education, we are here to help.

When you bring your horse to CH Equine to be in training with Clinician Cody Harrison, they are coming for true physical and mental development based on Classical Equitation principles. Cody’s deep understanding of equine biomechanics allows your horse to develop and move correctly. By supporting the horse mentally as well as physically, Cody presents each lesson in a way the horse can clearly understand — so the horse learns the exercise rather than simply reacting to the aids. Mental relaxation and physical balance are the keys to creating a supple, happy athlete with a long and enjoyable riding career.

Teaching a horse how to process what you’re asking is often overlooked — which is why so much training becomes forced. Horses must also learn to stay mentally steady when their energy level changes for a specific maneuver. Higher-energy work should not cause fear, tension, or chaos.

What your horse learns through Classical Dressage training with Cody will benefit them in any discipline. Each training program is tailored to your horse’s individual needs, way of thinking, movement, temperament, and your long-term goals. Just like riders, horses learn best when the program honors who they are.

Cody can give your young horse a thoughtful start, continue their education to the next level, or help resolve problem behaviors and misunderstandings so they become safe and confident again. His ability to recognize each horse’s strengths and weaknesses — mentally and physically — allows him to guide them back into balance. Cody works with a wide variety of breeds and understands the purpose they were bred for, so the training supports their natural tendencies rather than working against them. From foundational forward movement to piaffe and pirouettes, Cody can help your horse become a willing, confident partner. Stallions are welcome.

Our goal is for your horse to leave calmer, more consistent, more educated, and in better physical condition than when they arrived. We deeply care about your horse and their well-being.

Your horse will be in the compassionate, knowledgeable hands of Cody Harrison and his trusted staff while they begin or continue their education.

Owners are welcome to visit their horses anytime. Please schedule ahead if you would like to watch your horse being worked.

Horses in training must come to the CH Equine Training Facility located at 6505 East 160th Avenue, Brighton, CO 80602.
