Training Session, Fear and Reaction, (Horse and Rider).
I always like to see how my horses react to a fearful object, this way I can help them overcome it. I also want to know what I’m going to do to handle it. No better way than to practice in a safe environment.
Great Job Team.
Brooklynn and Basha building a bond under saddle.
I took a chance to let this young lady start working with her horse way before our original dateline, but she is an amazing rider and is willing to take on the challenge of getting involved in putting a good foundation on her horse.
Great Job Brooklynn.
Foundation Retraining progress
The first time Brooklynn and Basha met for an evaluation they didn’t know each other and thank God nobody got hurt. Now after spending some time working together, they trust, respect, and tolerate each other.
Discipline, trust, tolerance, and respect need to be accomplished before I get on their back. 80% of training is getting in the horse's mind.
Working with a Foal
Building trust, respecting space, learning how to give to pressure, and not to be afraid of Humans.
This Little guy has the bloodlines, Hollywood Cool Gun on the top, Cashing Hollywood Chex on the Bottom, the brains, the looks, and the athletic ability to do great things in the future.
Congratulations Diane for doing such an amazing job with this Foal.
Training at Platinum Horsemanship.
Here we work on building a trusting relationship with our horses by learning how to gain control, so we can have confidence, and eventually the goal is to have fun.
Great Job Team...
Leading by Example is my Philosophy.
I love Horses and teaching people Horsemanship skills, but for me to teach, first I must learn and that is why I’m always looking for ways to learn from the ones that I consider the best.
Quote from the Master:
You are not working on the Horse; you are working on yourself.

Groundwork Session
Getting to know a horse and having control from the ground is a lot harder but safer than getting on their back. I encourage all my clients to follow what we do here to minimize getting hurt.
Thank you, Team, for all your hard work and dedication.

Training Progress with Maxim, Freisian Dutch Harness
Thank you, Jennifer and Brooklyn, for getting involved and training with your horse here before you take him home.
Group Training Part 1 of 2
Thank you, Team, for bringing your horses here to get a solid foundation and for getting involved and working hard at becoming a better Horseman.
Being a good leader to a Horse is going to require hard work, consistency, determination, and mental and physical strength.
We are very serious about safety here, and there is no safety if there is no real control of your Horse.
Thank you, Team.
Retraining a 3-year-old Barrel Racing Prospect
Training Tip: Learn to read your horses behavior and body language.
In this video, you can see that the horse does not want me to catch him, he is running scared in the round pen, wanting to get out, and doesn’t know how to think, runs through the gate, runs through the electric wire, will kick at you, very mouthy, doesn’t know how to give to pressure, will pull back and doesn’t know how to move his feet.
He is not here because we created these issues, he is here so we can fix it.
Note: This horse is the perfect example of people rushing through training getting on his back and creating a big problem, out of a nice, well-bred, extremely athletic horse.

Colt Starting
Starting Django, 2-year-old Gypsy Vanner.
Learn from my mistakes and take the time it takes to teach the horse groundwork exercises before you get on their back. Every time I rushed and didn’t take the time the horse needed to be more relaxed, and had more control, I paid the consequences.
In this video, I will be showing you how this little guy, changed from reactive, disrespectful, heavy, stiff, and stubborn to Calm, obedient, soft, and trusting.
What did we do: Roundpen, Lunging, Flexing, Yielding, Backing and sensitizing/desensitizing exercises.
