I can answer questions about training and showing, both western and english. From Groundwork to show ring. My speciality is reining horses and I especially enjoy teaching people how to work with their horse without a bridle. I enjoy teaching people how to communicate with their horses using non-agressive methods, yet still reaching rewards and generating sucess in a timely manner.
I've trained horses for over 20 years. I've showing horses to multiple levels and awards, from leading the nation, to world championships, with special emphasis on reining horses.
NRHA, AQHA, PCJ and Horsetrader
College, and the school of "wet saddle blankets". I have been fortunate to ride with many of the top trainers over my lifetime and believe in continued education by attending as many clinics and workshops as possible.
My mind is always an open book, the moment you stop learning and being open to change is the moment you stop being sucessful.
