Instruction for yourself
I have used the internet to help riders for a long time. Lots of experience makes me an effective teacher, even though I'm not standing next to you.
My favorite is the Online Coaching I have recently started. Send me a starting point video. We will work from there to improve the overall skill of both horse and rider. We will use videos, email and phone support. Check out all the details.
Or try the Training Plan. Training your horse is a slow, patient process. Follow me and Fitch for a year as we go from barely started to a smooth team. More details here...
Maybe you prefer to learn by yourself? A Specific Lesson will be what you need then. Pictures, diagrams, drills and videos to explain things like how to teach your horse to neck rein, how to maneuver your horse to work cattle, or how to flex at the poll (commonly known as a headset). Take a look...

Free Training Tips
The Free Training Tips section is our most popular feature. Check out why it is Number 1 in the most-used search engines. There are 24 pages... Igot a little bit for every one.
Teaching Correct Lead Departures
Tricking your horse into the correct lead.
I like to let my horse's natural body work for me as much as possible. And here I will use his natural inclination to want to get back to the
other horses.
Only very well trained horses won't lean towards the gate (the exit point of the arena, or the point where the other horses are tied). And when my horse is on the farthest point away from it, his own body and mindset will make him pick up the correct lead. All I have to do is ask for the lope a few steps before that point, and get out of his way. More...
I haven't changed this part of my site to the new format yet, please be patient.

Training for your horse
Send your horse to me for training
Your horse will be used in the feedyard for 30 days. The riding schedule is every other day. Take advantage of my experience training show horses applied to a Using Horse environment.
Check out some Before and After Videos pictures and videos
I don't have videos of every horse, but there is a good sampling of some of the horses I get to ride. They show the state that they come and the way they are working when they leave here.

Clinics for you and your friends
Grab a friend and come to a Three Day Clinic at my place. Take a long weekend to study Natural Horsemanship, as it applies to the saddle. Your riding skills will drastically improve. You will also learn a better way of communicating with your horse. These clinics are primarily taught out on the trail, using the natural country as part of our learning experience. I only take two students at a time, ensuring that you will benefit from my intense teaching style.
Or get a group together and let me teach all of you at your place. You organize the clinic, and your whole group will benefit. And you will be able to ride your own horse, no matter how far away you live.

Our Horses
Check out the horses here.
Some are for sale, some are just the ponies on the place.
This one is Dubby. He's been sold a few years ago. What a nice horse he was. He brings a smile to my face every time I run across one of his pictures.
I love them all. To good homes only!!!
