- “My wish for any true horse lover is that they continue to gain knowledge and education about the majestic horse. Understanding, working with and developing a better partnership with your horse is a peaceful, yet exhilarating, emotion that is unexplainable.”
I take pride in what I know and share my experience and knowledge with my students. I have spent my life devoted to training and learning as much as I can and pursue my continuing education with many fine horsemen and horsewomen such as Kathy Sierra, Anna Marciniack, Marijke de Jong, Aimee Brimhall McCord, Karen Rohlf, David Lichman, Anna Twinney, Ruella Yates, Jonathan Field, Susan Smith and many others. I went out on my own to teach and share my own methods and philosophies in 2002 and continue to learn from my horses, my mentors and my students. I enjoy teaching because what takes place between my students and myself is a simultaneous learning experience….when you teach something you think you understand to someone else, you are apt to gleen a far deeper understanding of the value of the information when it’s played back to you through someone else’s experience.
A trainer can do all the training in the world on your horse, but unless you gain more knowledge and better your skills, your horse will never understand all that you are asking. AND you will never understand all that they are saying.
