Anyone that's ever worked with Mules or Mustangs can attest to the importance of leadership and communication. They were my best teachers and started me on the road to Natural Horsemanship.
Like so many others, I used to "break" horses the "Old Way". The way my Grandfather and Uncle did. When my Grandfather was killed in a horse-related accident, I learned just how important respect and safety were. I looked to improve my methods.
I began to read, study, and apply the principles of Natural Horsemanship practiced by people like Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt. Attending clinics every chance I could, I began applying the techniques at home, and was amazed at how much better it was for the horse and me.


   “When you ask your horse to do something, it should be his idea. This is the goal. In the end, when you ask your horse to do something, he wants to do it, he likes to do it, and he does it.”                    Ray Hunt

We all want our horses to be confident and at ease when we ride them. We want them to be curious and not fearful of the unknown. Most of all, we need them to be safe to ride. All these things come from the first experiences that a young horse has when started under saddle. You wouldn't build your home on a poorly laid foundation. And no one wants to ride a poorly started horse.
As you know, horses have unique personalities and attitudes. While some progress quickly and are eager to please you, others move a little slower or have ideas of their own.

I treat each horse as an individual and the result is a confident, willing horse that's not afraid to see you with a lead rope in your hand. You'll have a horse with a solid foundation for any discipline.
