Mangold Ranch's premier service is our comprehensive horse training program, specializing in natural horsemanship and horse training in Buffalo, NY. We work with horses from the ground up, building a solid foundation of skills. Our trainers initiate, desensitize, tune-up, offer deluxe trail horse training, and complete horses with various skill sets tailored to client requirements. Throughout the training process, we keep horse owners informed and provide a one-hour lesson each week for both the horse and owner, focusing on fostering a balanced relationship.

 

Renowned for rehabilitating horses with behavioral issues, Mangold Ranch Versatility is the go-to place for dealing with dangerous or unruly horses. Our mission is to instill confidence in riders from the ground up, teaching high-quality skills to both horses and riders for a safe, healthy partnership. Become your horse's compassionate leader, acquire skills to be proud of, and join our supportive community of like-minded equestrians. Our facility is brimming with wonderful people committed to practicing excellent horsemanship.

 

Mark Mangold, a natural horsemanship master trainer, has taught his children the art of horsemanship from the ground up. Although semi-retired, Mark remains actively involved in our training program on a select basis.
