High Mountain Horsemanship exists to preserve and pass down the discipline of true horsemanship through immersive, ground-up education with horses—from untouched mustangs to mountain-ready pack stock. Our mission is to develop capable, compassionate horsemen and women through honest work, foundational horsemanship, and the earned trust between horse and human. We train both people and animals from the ground up—through colt starting, pack training, trail readiness, and backcountry experience.

At the heart of our work is the belief that horses do more than carry loads—they help lighten them. By working with untouched mustangs, green colts, and seasoned trail stock, participants gain more than skills; they build confidence, patience, and emotional strength. The process is mutual: as horses learn to trust and carry, so do the people beside them.

Through daily work, quiet leadership, and the rhythm of the rein, our program becomes a space where healing happens in motion—on the trail, in the round pen, and beside the fire at the end of a long day.

We train for the trail—but we also grow something deeper: grounded minds, steady hands, and hearts with purpose.

We offer a progressive curriculum for youth, veterans, and emerging stockmen that builds confidence, respect, and working partnerships between human and horse. Whether in the round pen, on the ridgeline, or packing tools into the backcountry, participants gain hands-on experience that cultivates responsibility, leadership, and legacy.
