Services & Process

Horseback riding at Simon Performance Horsemanship goes beyond casual trail rides, focusing on building real skills and improving the communication between horse and rider. The horse training and pet training services address behavior, responsiveness, and performance goals, whether that means a horse that loads calmly into a trailer or one that's being developed for a specific discipline. Horse boarding ties the whole operation together, giving training clients a place to house their horses where the same team can work with them consistently. That continuity between trainer and horse tends to produce faster, more lasting results than splitting the horse between multiple facilities.

Service Area

Simon Performance Horsemanship serves horse owners and riders in Auburn and the surrounding South King County communities, including Kent, Federal Way, and Pacific. The facility's Green River Valley location also draws clients from Pierce County and from the eastern Auburn foothills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does performance horsemanship training involve?
Performance horsemanship focuses on developing a horse's responsiveness, balance, and consistency under saddle through methodical groundwork and riding exercises. The goal is a horse that's reliable, comfortable to ride, and capable of performing well in whatever discipline you're pursuing.
Can Simon Performance Horsemanship help with a horse that has behavioral problems?
Behavior issues like spooking, bucking, refusals, or difficulty with handling are exactly the kind of problems a performance horsemanship trainer addresses. The first step is usually identifying the root cause, whether it's pain, confusion, or an established habit, before building a training plan.
Do I need to board my horse at Simon's facility to use their training services?
Many trainers prefer to have horses on-site for training so they can work with them consistently, but it's worth asking whether they offer any off-site training or clinics. Contact Simon at (360) 739-4339 to ask about how their training program is structured.
What disciplines does Simon Performance Horsemanship specialize in?
A performance horsemanship background often covers western disciplines like reining, ranch work, or trail, but many trainers are well versed across multiple riding styles. Ask directly about their specific background and what disciplines they train most frequently.
How long does horse training typically take to show results?
That depends heavily on the horse's age, history, and what you're asking them to learn. Most trainers work in 30 or 60-day increments and can give you a realistic timeline after an initial assessment of your horse.
Is the Auburn area a good place to find equestrian services?
Auburn's Green River Valley has a long history as agricultural and equestrian land, and there's a solid community of horse owners in the area. That means local knowledge, access to trails, and a network of farriers, vets, and feed suppliers that support the equestrian lifestyle.
