Expert Profile: Solange Rian

Expertise:  I specialize in breaking and training difficult horses. I can provide advice on correcting behavior issues - cribbing, rearing, spinning; along with tack recommendations. I can also suggest feed programs, hoof care and explain dental care requirements.
I have owned Horsehaven Stables since 2000 and will break 5 horses this year alone!! I believe in a humane, safe and intelligent method when breaking horses that is based on results and not time. I have gained a reputaion in the area for taking in dangerous horses that no one else wants and fixing them up. I keep them as personal riding horses for years and if I see improvement I will sell one eventually to the right owner and situtaion. I believe every horse deserves a chance to prove themselves. More often than not they prove it was the human's fault!!

What do you like about this subject?  Being the advocate for the horse. Often there is no one to speak for them in the situations I see them in. I am their voice to the humans around them.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  To educate all riders in all disciplines that wearing an ASTM/SEI approved helmet is the easiest and best way to protect oneself. I never want to see a rider without a helmet on....that is my goal to achieve .
