Hello and welcome to the new page for L heart J horsemanship!
Looking for help with your horse or wanting to increase your horsemanship knowledge?
Come learn with me. We can tackle anything from stiffness, poor attitude, misbehavior, unresponsiveness, disrespect, lack of ground control, trailer loading problems, and all of the ‘why does he do this?’ types of behavior. I also teach c**t starting if you want to start from the very beginning and learn a very valuable skill. I have started horses for the public for over 15 years, tweaking my program a little at a time, learning from each horse. I’ve studied many clinicians over the years from Clinton Anderson to Chris Cox. I took a Parelli class in college as required with my major. I do not condemn any clinician’s program or judge them as many do. What works for them may not work for the next person’s personality and that’s just fine. I don’t use specifically one program, but I’ve taken what I liked from each of their methods to help create my own method. I will explain the concept of natural horsemanship, which doesn’t mean round penning them until they are exhausted, and many other misconceptions, but explain the simplicity in the concept of pressure and release. I first fell in love with the training aspect after attending a John Lyons clinic at 13 years old and have dedicated my life thus far figuring out how to work with the horses mind, not against their physical strength.
It doesn’t matter what discipline you ride, all the foundation training is the same. I start on the ground, and work up. If you tell me your horse lunges well and doesn’t need ground work, or ‘he’s just fine on the ground, it’s the riding I need help with’, you’ve come to the wrong place, although I challenge you to let me change your mind. Actually if this is you, you’ve come to exact right place 😊 I utilize an extensive ground control program, so when we do get to the riding, it’s a smooth, safe transition. And, we can tackle many undesirable behaviors before even getting on their back. I’ll show you how wonderfully useful groundwork is on your own horsemanship journey, you’ll wonder how you got along -and stayed alive-this long without it.
Also offering full time training. Contact me if you are needing a c**t started or have one needing to continue their education.
