PROBLEM SOLVING
There is NO ONE way to do things. In my years of riding and tra
ining horses, I have discovered that there is always something to learn. I am always learning from my horses and others. I believe that when someone says they know it all, they get stuck in that "one method fixes all" mentality and when faced with a horse that their method doesn't work for, they blame it on the horse or owner. I think that we all have more to learn than we know. My approach to problem solving incorporates lots of different approaches. I do not follow one clinician or even one methodology. My goal for all horses and clients is to develop a rider's leadership skills while instilling confidence in their horse. Safety and feeling safe is first and foremost for both client and horse. I want my clients to enjoy their horses, and I want my client's horses to respect their owners.
