- Charles Wilhelm - www.charleswilhelm.com
- Where many trainers may
briefly address the emotional, mental and physical
areas of the horses, Charles Wilhelm's Ultimate
Foundation Training® methods focus intensely
on these critical aspects. Riders are taught
simple building block exercises that teach them
to recognize and immediately respond to behaviors
with pressure and release cues. Charles has
long recognized that the rider must learn to
get the same results he himself is able to get
from the horse. His motto "Success Through
Knowledge" is indicative of his emphasis
on education of the horseperson first and foremost.

- Susan Johnston - www.naturalsavvy.com
- 2 Star Parelli Instructor. In 1997, after purchasing a 2-year-old Arabian,
I discovered Parelli Natural HorseManShip.
I wanted to start my own horse, so I searched
for a program that would strengthen our
relationship. I attended many “natural”
clinics by Ray Hunt, Buck Brannaman, etc.,
but it wasn’t until I saw Pat and Linda
do a demonstration at Industry Hills, CA.,
that I found what I was looking for. I knew
their step-by-step approach was the best
way for me to accelerate my horsemanship
skills, stay safe and build a language with
my horse. From that point on, I dedicated
myself to the study of PNH. After realizing
my career was getting in the way of my horsemanship,
I resigned after 15 years in the pharmaceutical
industry, to pursue my passion and teach
Parelli Natural HorseManShip. Since then,
I have spent almost 8 months at the Parelli
International Study Center in Colorado,
advancing my horsemanship and assistant
teaching. My journey continues…

- Sheryl Lynde - www.sheryllyndeclinics.com
- John Lyons Certified Trainer.
Located just one hour Northeast of San Diego
and just 30 minutes from Palm Springs in the
Southern California community of Garner Valley.
Sheryl Lynde clinics are offered on a regular
basis. Each clinic is a little different, covering
topics in Round Pen Basics, Trailer Loading,
Pre-Trail Conditioning, Foundation Groundwork
and Problem Solving from the saddle. The clinics
I offer are either conducted at my ranch or
can be hosted at your ranch. Clinics range from
2 to 3 days. I do take in horses for training.
Most people that I train horses for have a specific
area they would like to work on - trailer loading,
ground manners, training an arena worked horse
for trail riding, start a young horse or problem
solve such as rearing or bucking. I take in
horses on a weekly or monthly basis and limit
the number to 4 horses per month, which allows
me enough time to devote to each one. The methods
I teach are John Lyons and are universal and
essential for all disciplines - Western Pleasure,
Reining, English, etc. I specialize in more
control with lighter hands, responsiveness,
softness, collection at all gaits and stops.

based on age-old horse handling methods. For over
fifteen years Dennis has been teaching these methods
and principles. His "Universal Horsemanship"
workshops are taught in an environment where
the horse is allowed to express himself. Students

- Terry Church - www.naturalsporthorse.com
- Terry Church works
with horses and riders at all levels of Dressage.
She was "classically trained" through
the FEI levels in the United States and Germany
and competes regularly. However, a number of
years ago she came to recognize that, in spite
of the lofty ideals written throughout every
dressage manual, tension continued (and continues)
to be the predominant factor in the actual lives
of most horses in training for competition in
every discipline. With this awareness, synchronicity
lead her to a meeting with the great master
horseman Tom Dorrance with whom she spent the
next seven years relearning everything she thought
she had known about horses, and about herself.
Now her intention is to help riders become aware
of the kind of relationship needed to gain full
responsiveness and cooperation with their horses
without force, extra equipment or manipulative
devices which she ultimately believes is the
real meaning of dressage. Although her students
compete regularly, the primary intent is to
maintain their horses' ability to enjoy their
work. Through finding this greater harmony with
horses, Terry hopes that people will experience
a greater personal fulfillment and sense of
purpose and pass these qualities on to others.

- Bill Dorrance - www.billdorrance.net
- Considered one of the grandfathers
of the Natural Horsemanship movement, Bill Dorrance’s
life long interests in horsemanship, ranch roping,
and rawhide braiding were the core for the book
True Horsemanship Through Feel, co-authored
with Leslie Desmond, and the video Four Strands
of Rawhide: the Making of a Reata with Randy
Rieman. Having been raised in a family ranching
operation in Oregon, horses and cattle occupied
his thinking time. His last 50 years were spent
on the Mt. Toro Ranch out of Salinas, California.
Many people stopped by throughout the years
to visit about horses, ranch roping, and rawhiding.
A well bridled horse, a long rawhide reata,
and lots of time with the cattle. He rode, roped
and rawhided up until age 92.

- Tom Dorrance - www.tomdorrance.com
- Considered one of the grandfathers
of the Natural Horsemanship movement, Tom Dorrance was known as a horseman's horseman
and he was an elder statesman of natural horsemanship
training. Although he looked like the "cowboy
next door," Tom has been profiled in People
magazine and has been called the "patron saint
of horses" by the New York Times. Tom
was sought out by horse owners from around the world
for his kinder, gentler, much-proven technique of
training horses.

- Lisa Kay Burke - www.horses5.zoomshare.com
- "It has been
my experience over the past 20 years of
being a horse trainer that you never have
to hit, whip, or force a horse to do what
you ask of him/her. If you show love, patience,
and respect for your horse at all times,
your horse will willingly do what you ask.
I have the necessary techniques to teach
anyone who is willing to put forth an effort
to use these training techniques. What I
offer to my clients is: training techniques
with positive results. they do not have
to put their horse in a trailer and take
it to the trainer's facilities, I will come
to them where their horse is comfortable."
Lisa Kay offers horse
training and riding lessons to children
and adults. Not only does she train the
horse, she also teaches the rider how to
continue the training on their own. Lisa
Kay also offers horse training and riding
lessons at "Rancho Oso" a dude
ranch just outside of the Santa Barbara
area, rental horses for lessons are available
upon request.
