About
I have an understanding for horses that is only aquired through years of experience. I have trained and competed across many diciplines therefore giving me a keen eye for trouble shooting and understanding how different people and different horses learn.
I enjoy teaching people how to better communicate w their horse. Watching progress earned through hard work and dedication.
