Training and Clinic Information
The horse is sensative enough to feel a fly land on them and on their own they are very flexable. In my way of working with the horse, I constantly try to reach that level of communication, where to ask it weighs nothing and he can move any direction needed without a brace in his body.
I am working horses on the road by the hour all across Virginia as well as taking horses in for monthly training. I do what the horse and rider need to reach true unity. I don't believe in the "cookie-cutter" style of teaching. I will assist the rider with horsemanship and equitation, start the horse under saddle, or solve behavioral issues, whatever is needed for the horse to be right. Every breed and every discipline can benefit from having gentle horses that aren't spooky and are supple, responsive and easy to ride. The methods I use are what I learned from master horsemen such as Ray Hunt and Buck Brannaman. Together, they have worked with thousands of horses. These techniques have been around for decades. I am happy to pass them along to you. I am also available for clinics. I can do anything from 1 day to 4 day clinics. I adjust my format to each group. I can do colt starting, horsemanship, or cow working. Feel free to contact me and we can discuss your needs.
I look forward to helping you and your equine partner.

Whether on the ground or mounted, you are operating the horse with feel, timing and balance.
It not possible to teach feel, but I can help you to learn it. With feel, comes the timing and balance.
When you are riding the horse,
you are leading him from the saddle.

How the horse operates is a reflection of the human and what's going on inside
