About my philosophy on training for others
My focus is not to train your horse for you.  I truly believe that you are the best trainer for your horse.  I will teach you to teach your horse.
When you ride your horse, your body makes involuntary signals that,
through repetition, your horse learns and uses to know what will be asked of him.
 No one person can ride the same as another.  This is why a horse
performs much better for the "trainer" than the owner. 
Better hands, better seat, better rider are not always the reason. 
Some great trainers are terrible riders and some great riders are terrible trainers.
 If you learn skills that you then teach to your horse, the signals, cues and response are consistent.
It is this consistency that creates the subtle cues and responses we all seek in our horses.
Now, that being said, there are times when the situation or issues with a horse
 are beyond the skills of the owner.  A more experienced
person's help is needed.  You should be a part of the teaching/training process though, in order that you learn what is causing or caused the problem
and how not to recreate it.
I will gladly assist you in troubleshooting your situation.

 

 

 

Do you and your horse have a specific skill you would like to learn?
Don't have the time to teach it?
Then consider  our training sessions tailored to you and your horse's needs.

"We have almost forgotten how strange a thing it is that so huge and powerful and intelligent an animal as a horse should allow another, and far more feeble animal, to ride upon its back."
