Trainer Cassandra Magnus says:

I am NOT a Parelli trainer or a Clinton Anderson trainer or even a John Lyons trainer. I am a product of MANY trainers. Some famous and some in my own barn. I have studied them all and taken bits a pieces to create a training program that works for me. I use a combination of natural and traditional horsemanship techniques that will produce a pleasurable mount by teaching the horse:

We all have a trainer within us!!

There is no exact science or method to training a horse. All horses are different. They all have different minds, bodies, and temperament. Training is the process of reading the horses behaviors during the training process and utilizing that to the advantage of the horse. Some horses learn faster and some slower. Some horses are predisposed to being spookier than others. Training takes time, patience and understanding. No trainer or horse is perfect but together we can work to be the best product of trainer and horse abilities.
