Performance Horse Training · Lehi, Utah
CWP Performance Horses develops quiet, athletic, and dependable horses through a clear system of groundwork, under-saddle training, and show preparation. From a first ride on a young horse to the polished movements of a finished show partner, every session follows a written plan you can see and understand. We train in Lehi, Utah, and support owners across the region with honest progress updates and a schedule that fits real life.
We do not guess. We build a written plan for every horse, measure progress every week, and keep you involved at every step of the journey.
Who We Are
CWP Performance Horses is a performance horse training operation rooted in Lehi, Utah. We work with young horses that need a solid start, seasoned horses that need a refresh, and competition horses that need a finishing touch. Our approach pairs patient groundwork with precise under-saddle work so that every horse learns to think before it reacts and to soften before it braces.
We believe a good trainer is part coach and part engineer. Each horse arrives with a different temperament, a different history, and a different ceiling, so each horse receives a plan built for it alone. That plan lives in writing, gets reviewed every week, and gets shared with you so there are never surprises about where your horse stands.
Respect, softness, and trust are built on the ground before we ever climb in the saddle.
You receive clear updates and video check-ins so you always know what changed and why.
We prepare horses and riders to walk into the arena calm, focused, and prepared.
What We Do

Selected Service
Our colt starting program gives a young horse its first confident experiences with a rider. We begin with groundwork that teaches the colt to follow feel, move off pressure, and find a release. When the time is right we introduce the first saddling and first rides in a quiet, controlled environment. The result is a horse that is curious rather than fearful, soft rather than braced, and ready to continue into any discipline.
Our Process
Every horse moves through the same disciplined sequence, at its own pace.
We evaluate temperament, movement, and history, then record a baseline we can measure against.
We write a custom plan with weekly goals, clear milestones, and a realistic timeline for your horse.
Lunging, flag work, and softness exercises build trust and responsiveness before the saddle goes on.
We develop balance, collection, and maneuverability through progressive riding sessions.
We polish patterns, manage fitness, and support you ringside so show day feels like any other day.
