- Ronnie Ford
- www.ronniefordtrainingcenter.com
- Ronnie is a strong believer in looking out for the horse. Training your horse with resistance-free methods and then teaching you, the rider, how to understand your horse. With each ride, we learn things that will help the horse and the rider to pay attention to each other. Our bodies tell horses what OUR ideas are and not what the horse's idea is. This, in turn, brings better communication between the two of you. Ronnie has many years of training horses of all breeds and of all disciplines. He has an enormous amount of experience in halter showing, western pleasure and trail. Ronnie Ford Training Center offers a wide variety of horsemanship skills to tap into and will help you with all of your horses' training and showing needs -- whether your horse is a trail horse or a world show champion.

- Tom Curtin -
www.tomcurtin.net
- The roots
of Tom's training philosophy are firmly planted
in understanding the way a horse thinks and
why instinct makes him behave the way he does.
Tom is adamant about getting along with the
horse instead of punishing the animal for doing
wrong. "When I work with a horse, I want
my ideas to seem like good ones to the horse,"
he says. "I approach him in a manner that
makes sense to him. I don't go against his instinct.
I work with him and not against him and I try
to fix it so that my ideas are his ideas."

- Partner Up is horse training at its best. Leslie-Ann Rush is a certified horse trainer using a combination of John Lyons, Parelli and Clinton Anderson's methods. Leslie trains horses of all ages, all breeds. The horse training is based on a communication concept that helps horses understand what you, the owner, is asking of your horse, instead of using force or restraints.

Training is included for the owners so they can continue using it with their horses once they are home.
