Enhanced Foal Training helps to instill correct behavior in the horse from the very beginning. Enhanced Foal Training is a methodology for bringing up young horses to be honest, highly intelligent and most importantly, adaptable. The education of the foal begins shortly after birth in conjunction with traditional imprinting because foals are ready, willing and able to learn. EFT is the best possible place to begin to raise an intelligent and willing companion horse, Trick Horse or Exhibition Horse.

Enhanced Foal Training includes non-stressful exercises and challenges that are fun and infuses trust while creating a lasting bond between foal and handler. Additionally the logic of the method teaches a foal to learn how to learn while it promotes skills and respect that are easily transferred to a foal's higher education requirements upon physical maturity.  

With Enhanced Foal Training, foals begin to learn a life long work ethic that applies to independent work and schooling in unison with foals and other adult horses.
