I offer horse training and riding lessons. I work with horses in a way that they can understand (not forcing them to do things, but letting them work it out in their minds to figure out what I want), building a solid foundation for anything that they might do in the future. I work with lesson students in the same way, teaching them how to work with a horse, starting from the basics, so they can apply what they learn to any horse they work with in the future! I have references available that can confirm that you get what you pay for! God bless!
