​Applied Practical Horsemanship

​Applied- to put into use​​

Practical- serving an actual use or purpose​

Horsemanship- skill in, or the art of, riding, managing, or training horses​

​

In training horses I look at the whole package from horse selection and suitability to the management of each horse. My philosophy is a whole-horse perspective. Whether you want to show your pleasure mount or trail ride the training has to be comprehensive, systematic and straight forward. In training and studying Natural Horsemanship, Western and English as well as the Dressage disciplines, there are key elements across the board and can be applied to every horse's training.
