Charles Wilhelm Training proudly offers one-to-three week learning experiences for first-time and returning owners. Our exceptional program provides a sound foundation for starting colts, re-schooling, and as a remedy for behavioral or gymnastic problems. Truly an essential course for all horses and disciplines, and an excellent overview of our comprehensive Ultimate Apprenticeship Program. Participants are taught the full range of tools Charles has developed to promote the best in the equine-human relationship, helping both horse and owner reach their full potential. Whether working with your own horse or with those already in training at our center, you will discover how horses “learn” each time they are ridden and worked with. For better or worse, even the most basic interaction with your horse can influence its behavior. Through the “CW” way, learn how to produce exacting responses from your horse 100% of the time both here at the ranch and at home!  With a maximum of two participants per session, this intimate and individualized program is personally directed by Charles Wilhelm and his expert staff.
