Horsemanship has been a major part of my life from a young age. I grew up working with horses and learned early that every horse is different and requires patience, timing, and consistency. Over the years, I have gained experience starting colts, riding young green broke horses, and working with different types of horses. My education in Natural Horsemanship has helped me build on that experience and become a better and more knowledgable horseman.

My experience

I have been working with horses for most of my life. I started helping my dad with young horses at an early age, learning how to halter break, desensitize, saddle, and eventually ride them. As I got older, I gained experience riding racehorses and working with many different types of horses. These experiences have taught me patience, confidence, and the importance of adjusting my approach to fit each individual horse.

My Approach to Horsemanship

My approach to horsemanship is based on patience, communication, and understanding the individual horse. I believe in using pressure and release, good timing, and consistency to help a horse understand what I am asking. Instead of using a horse through a problem, I try to build trust and confidence while controlling their feet and giving them a strong foundation. My goal is to create willing, respectful, and confident horses that are prepared for whatever job they may have.

Skills I’ve Developed

Through my experience with horses and my education in natural horsemanship, I have developed skills in groundwork, colt starting, desensitizing, and riding. I have also improved my timing, feel, communication and ability to control a horses feet with less pressure. These skills have taught me how to better understand different horses, work through problems, and build a stronger connection between horse and rider.
