Building, Safe Positive and Progressive Horse-Human Relatonships through Natural Training and Teaching Techniques.

I have always loved horses with a passion and have been riding, training and showing horses for over 30 years and I continue to this day to be in awe of their majesty, beauty, grace and forgiveness of the human race.

I truly believe that you have to look at the horse – human relationship as a whole picture to find out what is and is not working and once behavior patterns in the horse – human relationship - whether physical or emotional are identified I can then establish a plan to change these behaviors and develop a positive, healthy and fulfilling relationship for both horse and human.

My goal is to not only teach the horse, but to teach the horses’ owner to teach their own horse, developing a relationship of trust and mutual respect which will build partners for life.

Horses’ eyes are windows to their souls, if you can catch a horses’ eye you can glimpse inside the soul and feel their emotions.... See More
