The Method

TRUST - RESPECT - BOUNDARIES

Build TRUST through principled leadership. Honor the slightest try and the smallest change.

Earn and give RESPECT by understanding respect comes before friendship. Be deliberate in your ask and quick to give.

Establish clear BOUNDARIES by making the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard.

The 4 C's

Training horses starts with us.

Conciseness

Communicating what you want clearly and without unnecessary clutter. Be brief but comprehensive

calmness

Remain calm to maintain control over your reactions and responses. To think and make logically decisions

Consistency

Leads to momentum. The more consistent you are the clearer the message becomes and the key to making lasting change

confidence

Confidence breeds Confidence Confidence creates a leader not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way

How we gain Trust, Respect and Boundaries

FOUcus

Focus, it's not a personality type, it's a skill, which can be learned. Without it a horse is not truly present

Feel

Is a combination of sensitivity, intuition and empathy. When you have it you know where his mind is at at any given moment

Freedom

Allowing your horse the freedom of choice turns a disagreement into a partnership

they'll follow. If we are vague and inconsistent , they'll questions and challenge
