Training
I will happily answer any questions on horse training, ground training, and training for the farrier.
Please be aware: I can only show you what you must do on a regular basis to train your own horse. Training is a life long process between you and your horse. 15 minutes with me will not outweigh daily, weekly, and yearly habits with your horse.
Services NOT offered:
Fighting or engaging in a struggle with a horse. In these situations, no one will win. The horse can become fearful of the situation and the danger to all increases. Quality work is not possible. No one wins. It is ALWAYS better to deescalate the situation and find a better solution.
