Horse training doesn't work when your horse training techniques are from a "cook book". Horse training doesn't work when your horse training involves force, pain, and compulsion. Horse training is not an art, horse training is not a gift, horse training is a science. To our knowledge Falisi Horsemanship is the only scientifically based horse training system in the world.

Horse Training

 
There is no shortage of horse trainers or horse training in Ocala, FL, or all of Marion County, Florida for that matter. In fact, horse training and horse trainers in both the Ocala Florida and the Marion County Florida phone books are two of the largest sections. So why, in Ocala, FL “The Horse Capital of the World” would someone accept being put on a waiting list for horse training? Simple, two names - Ross Falisi and Dawn Falisi.
 
Ross Falisi and Dawn Falisi are the two people responsible for developing the most comprehensive horsemanship system in the world and every horse sent to the FHTC (Falisi Horsemanship Training Center) is trained by them personally.  More than 50% of the horses trained at the FHTC are referred by professional horse trainers.  The remainder is referrals from both past and present clients.  So, why would other horse trainers refer horses to the FHTC?  Simply because their system is effective and the results are undeniable.

 
Ross and Dawn accept horses on a limited basis and usually for no less than two months, there are some exceptions. Following is a general guideline for what you can expect if your horse is taken in for training:
 
  • 12 x 12 stall accommodations (either day or night)
  • Individual paddock turnout (either day or night)
  • Twice daily hay and grain feedings
  • Twice daily stall cleaning
  • 5-6 training sessions per week
  • Training sessions inclusive of round pen work, ground work and saddle work as appropriate
  • All training performed by Ross or Dawn
  • All training routinely addresses ground and under saddle "manners"
There is a $100.00 deposit required to reserve a training slot for your horse which is applied to your first months' training/board bill once your horse arrives.
If you would like to inquire about reserving a slot for your horse, please fill out the form below and either Ross or Dawn will contact you. Please also go to our "Private Instruction" page where we have training packages for you while your horse is in for training.
 

 

There are 3 options you have when you decide to become a horse owner.  And you must understand the price you, as a horse owner, must pay to be a horseperson:

1.      Buy a quality horse that has been trained correctly.

Like everything else, you get what you pay for. “The people who need the best horses usually wind up with the worst horses.” The blissful feeling of being a horse owner overrides the sense of naivety that we know exists in us, the sense that would normally caution us “buyer beware” and a sale is made based on price and/or looks.  When the “dream horse” is finally in our backyard, it soon turns into a nightmare when it is realized that this 1100 lb animal is unmanageable.  Also, as with any other industry, there is a fair share of unscrupulous people in the horse industry who have no problem misrepresenting an animal and now you find yourself in a bind – well, see option 2.

2.      Pay a quality Horseman to work with your horse.

Quality costs money, and rest assured, no quality horseman is charging cut-rate prices.  So the money that you saved with option number one above will be spent on the training.  However, this can get sticky, as there is no shortage of self - proclaimed experts who have, at one point in their lives, ridden a horse and now for $19.99, with a stack of business cards in hand, call themselves “horse trainers”.  Some offer cut-rate prices and others are exorbitantly priced. If you choose to use “$19.99” trainers please see option 3.

      3.  Get good health insurance!

If you choose to ignore options 1 & 2 then this is the option for you. The bottom line - the best saddle bronc riders in the world come off and get hurt so, all said and done, it’s just a matter of time.

    We encourage all clients or potential clients to investigate their options both, for themselves and for their horses. We also realize that skepticism is a good thing in the horse world so we encourage you to contact people who have already walked in your shoes. (Click Here) It is always better to do it correct the first time and do whatever takes to avoid option 3!
