has trained and instructed at Kettle Creek Ranch
in Colorado Springs which is managed by her

ranges from haltering weanlings to starting
young horses and advancing the mature horse.
She also gives lessons ranging from novice to
advanced levels, both Western and English, and
many of her students and horses have gone on

- Jim Rea - www.gentlehorses.com
- Jim Rea, trainer and clinician, is devoted to
a natural approach to horse care, natural horsemanship
and training. His primary focus is helping owners
who have horses with behavior problems more severe
than they are capable of correcting, where many
of these horses have injured their owners or trainers.
Jim's objective in training is ending up with a
safe, calm dependable horse that will willingly
do what we ask it to do, when we ask it to do it;
horses are almost always eager to please if they
understand what it is we want and if we provide
them with dependable leadership.

- Mark Rashid - www.markrashid.com
- Mark Rashid, trainer, author, and clinician has
committed himself to finding the quiet but effective
ways of communicating with horses to resolve even
the most difficult of problems. His focus is always
based upon assessing the situation from the horse's
point of view and his philosophy embraces the concept
of "Passive Leadership" with horses.
"Passive Leadership" challenges
the traditional "alpha" approach to being
with horses. Passive leaders have "earned"
that particular title with the other horses by showing
them they can be dependable in their passive behavior
from one day to the next. In other words,
they lead by example, not by force.

- Holly McKamey - www.thehorsegate.com
- Enter into a new understanding of horses through The Horse Gate. Holly McKamey (Watkins) has a Bachelor of Science in Equine Science from Colorado State University, apprentice experience under several successful horse trainers, and has worked with horses professionally in Colorado, California, and Ecuador, South America. Holly observes that no matter what breed of horse, what country you ride in, or what discipline you ride, a horse is still a horse. She believes the best way to train a horse is to train the owner and she works with both horses and owners to meet in the middle. Her training tools come from a broad base of equine schools of thought, including Dressage, Western, and Natural Horsemanship. She believes that training should be safely enjoyed by both the horse and rider. Safety is first, and fun is a byproduct of good training. Owning, riding, and handling a horse shouldn’t be stressful. Holly started The Horse Gate in 2003 with flexible services and a practical approach to horse training that echoes her encouraging belief, "You can do it, I can help!"
