Val Gilbert Horsemanship

I want each horse to have a great foundation with total confidence in whatever their person asks them to do. Just like a house built on sand will fall, a horse with a crumbly foundation will do the same. I help to build that foundation so the horse has a solid base to refer to whenever needed. No matter what vocation you ask your horse to follow, there always needs to be a strong base to progress

from and return to. You want your horse to be versatile, athletic, and willing; not a machine doing the same thing day after day. If you have true communication with your horse, you can have a nearly endless list of different ideas you can put together with your horse so both of you stay fresh and willing. If you have a foundation to fall back on you will stop asking yourself the "what if" questions. You can only get out of your relationship what you are willing to put in. There are no lasting short cuts or miraculous props, just hard work, time and patience. You never stop learning and growing. Are you ready to get started in the life-long and often life-changing path of horsemanship?
