Here at Ram Bar Aviv, we aim to transform the standards of horse excellence by prioritizing the
happiness of our equine companions in every aspect of our operations, starting from their steps on our
stables to their post-race endeavors. We envision a tomorrow where each Thoroughbred, Arabian, Tennessee
Walking Horse, and every other breed entrusted to our care experiences a purpose-driven and
compassionate journey filled with fulfillment, whether on the racecourse, within initiatives, or during
their well-suited retirements.
We think that real horsemanship involves finding a harmony between achieving the performance and showing
deep empathy towards the horses we work with. By creating training programs that consider each horse's
breed and temperament while aligning with their individual goals and needs, we aim to establish a bond
of trust in our partnership with the horses. Our training covers everything from groundwork to advanced
track conditioning, as well as specialized western and therapeutic riding techniques. Our successful
methods are designed to produce tangible results that resonate through every powerful and confident
stride taken by the horse.
