fair to bring together some of the top clinicians from all over the world. Access to this online horse fair gives everyone the opportunity to view horse training from a variety of successful horse trainers. I was honored to be a part of it for 2020. This is a great opportunity for people looking for different ideas for


training. It is also a great opportunity for coaches and trainers like myself to reach a larger audience. I have had several people reach out to me from other parts of the world to get training advice and it’s a great way to experience other horse disciplines as well.


Scenario: two Arabian horses both three year old geldings (with champion pedigree), one is very docile, eager to learn, playful per- sonality. The other is striking, spooked, headstrong, likes to bolt. Both adopted, and have minimal training. How would you approach these two horses? What training techniques would you apply? Great question!!!! — With a great big Smile!! I would be thrilled to work


with both of these beautiful horses! I Love Arabians. I was extremely for- tunate to work with an Arabian during a clinic I did in Sweden June, 2019. I can honestly say he is my heart horse of Sweden! There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for me. There’s a bit of a story about him “Orys” and he is part of the three section video for this year’s Art of The Horseman that I presented. To get back to answering your question, Most times I never really look


at the horse’s history when working with them. I am always very “in the moment” and what is presented to me at that time. I try and always start off on a positive note and keep applying a positive attitude towards the horse I’m working with. I never make it a big deal if a horse is (looking around, spooking, bolting or etc) that’s the horse having something to say. My clients and anyone that has done a horsemanship clinic with me


will tell you I say this throughout the clinic weekend “a healthy relation- ship always starts with it being two sided. If you want your horse to re- spect you, you need to communicate that respect, and build on the trust. Taking the time to let the horses settle will tell me what’s next with the


training session, and how fast I can move into further groundwork. Timing is everything. My foundation ground work is where I start with all horses, whether


they are untouched or seasoned horses I always start the same with every horse. Distance and perspective, getting a horse to back away and start to understand the space between myself and the horse. I use a high quality rope halter and lead line set approximately 12’ long with a soft rope halter. No hardware connecting the two pieces just a “clear line of communica- tion between my hands and their head” (a product that I’m very proud to sell and market).It’s the only tool I need to help the horse and the clients to get a better connection and partnership with their horse.
