Crossroads Ranch Evidence-Based Equine Development Program
Where Science Meets Horsemanship
At Crossroads Ranch, we believe equine development is both an art and a science. In partnership with Honeysuckle’s Ranch Academy, we created a six-stage, evidence-based system designed to build safe, sound, and intelligent equine partners — what we call solid equine citizens. Each horse is carefully selected for its behavior, health, conformation, and performance potential, then guided through a structured process that integrates veterinary science, DNA analysis, psychology, and classical training to achieve measurable, lasting results.
The Six Stages of Development
Stage 1 – Knowledge Each horse begins with a comprehensive profile. We collect a hair sample for Etalon ProPanel + Ancestry DNA testing to identify genetic health and lineage. The horse receives a full veterinary exam, radiographs, farrier evaluation, and an initial Crossroads Ranch Equine Scoring System Report (ESSR) establishing baselines for psychology, health, conformation, and performance.
Stage 2 – Comprehension Using the ESSR, our training team — led by Crossroads Ranch and Honeysuckle’s Ranch Academy — develops a personalized plan that outlines goals, challenges, and milestones specific to each horse’s temperament and ability.
Stage 3 – Application Training begins. We act on veterinary and farrier recommendations and initiate foundational exercises to build responsiveness, confidence, and trust between horse and rider.
Stage 4 – Analysis We conduct an in-depth Hippology Study — a behavioral and environmental assessment examining the horse’s history, habits, and prior conditioning. Understanding how a horse learns and responds allows us to refine our training approach for long-term development.
Stage 5 – Synthesis At this stage, we synchronize psychology, health, conformation, and performance into an integrated, evidence-based training plan. The horse is worked and tested regularly until it meets the standards established in the ESSR.
Stage 6 – Evaluation Before graduation, each horse undergoes a final veterinary and farrier evaluation to confirm readiness. Upon successful completion, the horse earns the designation of Crossroads-Developed Horse, representing the highest standards in evidence-based equine training.
Timeline: Most horses complete the program within 3 to 12 months, depending on age, background, and progression rate.
Our Philosophy: At Crossroads Ranch — in partnership with Honeysuckle’s Ranch Academy — every horse is treated as an individual, and every stage is a step toward truth, trust, and transformation.
“I had a pleasurable experience working with Laura and her team to purchase my hunt horse mare, Sable Moon. I’ve now had a chance to work with Sable and ridden her in many hunt fields, and she’s exactly as Laura represented her to be. She has been healthy, with a steady temperament, and a willing learner. Being able to rely on what a seller tells you can be one of the biggest challenges I’ve found in my horse-related purchases. I can say Laura is as good as her word! After Sable has settled into her new life at our farm, Laura even came to pay her a visit on a trip to our area. What a treat. When I eventually need to think about another horse, Laura will be the first person I call.””
