Dream it, live it, do it

Natural Horsemanship

Natural Horsemanship is a way of life, a philosophy of working and understanding horses based on the horse's natural abilities and human/horse interactions and communication. It is about understanding that horses (and people for that matter) do not learn through fear and pain, rather from kind thoughtful and “natural” communication and interactions.

"I will tell you personally as a disciple of Ray Hunt ( I met Ray in 1982 in Montana and had the rare privilege of working with him) that natural Horsemanship is as much about horses as it is about people....so profound and so enlightening that I recommend it to everyone who wanted to learn this remarkable way of life and way of being."
