Stephens Ranch
In 2004 my Daughter and I began showing horses in central Ohio. I was fortunate enough to work directly with some great Horsemen in Ohio. This location also afforded me the opportunity to attend various clinics by some of the nations’ best clinicians, Clinton Anderson, Chris Cox, Craig Cameron, and Stacy Westfall just to name a few. Working with horses has allowed me to do some ve
ry rewarding things like working with Special Needs and Big Brother/Big Sister programs. In 2008 I moved back home to Missouri and, once settled, I began Riding and Training horses for outside Clients. I use what I call “Common Sense Horsemanship” techniques which promotes a partnership based on mutual trust and understanding between horse and rider. Horses are born with the ability to walk, run, stop, and turn. A horses’ issues are created when the human enters their life. My goal is to help people understand what the horse needs in order to perform the task at hand. This is where my philosophy “Helping Horses with People Problems” comes in to play.
