Clients having horses trained at Emmanuel Equine are
encouraged to be involved as much as possible.  Our
personalized program allows the owner to learn about
safety in handling the horse and the techniques used
during training.  This prevents confusion between horse
& rider and the lessons are included in the training cost.

Training Philosophy:

  • *Good ground work = good saddle work.
  • *Consistency, patience, & kind discipline = 
  •  Trusting & respectful horse.
  • *Conditioning, flexibility, & willingness =
  •  Soft & supple horse.
  • *Imprinting, ground work, & saddle work = 
  •  Diligent, hard-working horse that is willing.

The Ministry

Our Ministry is always open to the Public.  We offer Bible study,
host Missionaries, and will be offering Horse training clinics
centered around a Biblical Message here on the farm. We will
 also be offering clinics with the same Biblical Message at other
farms in the near future.  Please pray for us as we try to accomplish
 such a large task.


2005 2nd Annual Christian Horse Extravaganza

The 2nd Annual Christian Horse Extravaganza was held July
16, 2005.  We had plenty of food & drinks, live music, door
prizes, and pony rides.  The center of attention for the day
 was "The Fruit of the Spirit" skit.  Despite the heat and
humidity, all the "skit-sters" did a great job and brought
Glory to the Lord.
