History

Established in 1990.

Having worked with many trainers and with my 29 years of horse experience I wanted to teach people what they should know before they ride or buy a horse. So many people get hurt or scared because they do not understand the horse psychology and why they react the way they do or what to do when it happens. You can have a safe and happy relationship with horses.

When I was 22 I bought my first horse. I competed in western pleasure and was very successful. After that I felt to be a good horseman you needed to know how to train a horse from the ground up. Luckily my first trainer was into natural horsemanship which is when you train with respect and communication versus force and fear. He took me to see Pat Parelli and Ray Hunt when they were in my area. I started helping people resolve their problems with their horses and I have started a few colts. I have experience with working with children too. It is always rewarding to see what a horse can do for a child. I have competed in reining also. I like to help people who would like to do some type of competition but those types of trainers want clients that already have a knowledge of the horse and a balanced seat. If you are planning on owning a horse someday or just want to learn about then going back to the basics is for you.
