At Kupec Progressive Horsemanship, we offer horsemanship training specializing in colt starting and horses that have developed undesirable habits. KPH has created a unique training program that molds to the specific needs of your horse. We believe that the starting process is the most important time of a horse’s life. With our program, your horse will build a solid foundation with a positive and trustful mindset, a willingness to learn and reliable direction that will carry through their lifetime. Will and Kim both teach lessons to all ages and riding Disciplines. At KPH, we have a very active teenager program with camps, clinics, shows and more! Outside guests are welcome to sign up for our clinic series offered in the Spring and Fall months. However, we do not rent our horses or offer trail rides to the public here, we apologize.

Aside from training, KPH raises half-draft ranch horses. We began our breeding program in 2021 with the purchase of our Gypsy Vanner stallion KPH Crowned n Dignified. Will and Kim fell in love with the Gypsy Quarter Horses due to their athleticism, versatility, confirmation and temperament. We will be offering weanlings for sale yearly. Keep watching our page for updates as we expand our herd in the coming months and years!

Our program is intended to mold around the horse, not molding the horse to our program. We specialize in colt starting and working with horses who have developed undesirable habits.

At KPH we believe that the starting process is the most important time in a horse’s life. By Creating a solid foundation, your young horse will have a positive and trustful mindset, a willingness to learn and reliable direction that will carry through their lifetime. All breeds and riding disciplines are welcome. We have trained everything from cow ponies and mules to FEI Dressage horses and Grand Prix Hunter Jumpers.

We require a minimum of 60 days. With our training program here at KPH you can expect your horse to be worked 5 to 6 days a week, feeding two to three times a day, unlimited home-grown fescue hay, a stall and individualized turnout. Weekly lessons will be provided with the owner to showcase the progress of your horse and how to strengthen the bond between you and your horse.

Please plan to book in advance! We typically book several months out.

We are firm believers that in order to be a balanced rider, you must have a balanced horse. We have an array of lesson horses that will challenge students to work on proper leg and hand aids or, bring your own and be able to grow together in establishing a balanced partnership. Our goal for you as a KPH student would be to shift your riding to your seat (not your hands) and to be able to maneuver your horse solely from your legs and light, minimal feel of the reins. All disciplines are welcome! Once we have established a balanced horse and rider, you will be able to ride any discipline you desire. We specialize in the following:

• Western & Classical Dressage

• Stockmanship

• Horsemanship

• Showmanship

• Ranch Riding

At KPH, we have a very active teenager program and we travel to local shows for the experience and exposure. Contact us to check our availability and to secure a lesson time!

We breed Gypsy Vanner Quarter Horse crosses. We added our stallion KPH Crowned n Dignified aka Declan to our herd in 2021. Declan has been bred to performance and foundation bred quarter horse mares. Declan has produced 5 foals in 2023, and 6 foals in 2024. Our goal with breeding this cross is to produce athleticism, versatility, good minds and unique markings. He has proven to produce exactly what we had hoped for and more. We are incredibly excited for this journey and to be able to offer Gypsy Crosses on the East Coast. Check out our breeding page and facebook page for information on available foals!

Declan is used as a main working horse on our ranch from being a saddle horse and teaching clinics to competing in dressage and ranch shows.
