I am more concerned with safety and good results than in being politically correct. To that end, I combine whatever training techniques work for me - whether English or Western.

I have trained many different ages and breeds of horses. I have a lot of experience training horses at the owners' houses - in the horses' home environments, in all types of weather and conditions.

While I can advise you on many types of under-saddle work, I'm especially good at ground work. I believe that training starts from the ground-up -- meaning good halter manners.
So if you have questions about halter-breaking, halter manners, or longing,
I can probably help.

I look forward to hearing from you!
