Racehorses
DPR Specialises in the education of horses, priding our selves on making a positive start to each horses’ future.
Our services include:
Breaking in
Usually a four-week process, this is the first step in ridden life. During this time, a horse learns how to respond to guidance so that they can be saddled, learn to respond correctly to aids and become confident enough to accept a rider on their back. Once this is achieved, they learn how to carry a rider and accept their guidance. From here their exposure to their future career can be taught, from working on the track, to working in company and beginning their education in the barriers.
Pre training
Progressing a horse’s education and continuing to improve its form and way of going is important for every horse. Pre training also allows a horse to properly condition themselves for the more vigorous work involved in racing. Our team focuses on ensuring each horse is working in correct balance, relaxing, and finding rhythm in all work that they do, whether that be track work, schooling in the arena or having a change of scenery out on the trail.
