- Jen Johnson - www.guardiansfarm.com
- I have been a student of the horse since I was 3, ridden and showed many styles of riding, studied several natural horsemanship methods since 2001 when I discovered there was a better way and finally settled on the Parelli method of NH. Currently I'm studying level 4 in the program. I am not just a trainer who has been in horses her whole life and is teaching by my trial and error. (That method leaves severe gaps in training that can compromise safety!) I have been to the Parelli International Study Center for a total of 9 courses, done several clinics with certified Parelli professionals of 3 stars or more and I have invested countless hours in hundreds of horses since I started Parelli. My experience is one based in education! I return to the Parelli Center every year to keep up with the latest in natural horsemanship education. See my web site for more details.

- 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.

- Pam Wiselogel - www.pamwiselogel.com
- Pam is a licensed Parelli Natural Horsemanship Professional and instructs in getting the proper foundation for you and your horse. Most instructors specialize, but without a good solid foundation, all else can never be at its best. If you gain your horse's trust and respect by building (not forcing) a relationship FIRST, all other things like trailer loading and advanced riding will come much easier, because your horse will try harder to work WITH you rather than AGAINST you. That's true partnership.

- 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."

- Joe Mangravito - www.aperfecthorse.com
- After retiring from the
New York Fire Department in 1990, Joe Mangravito
decided to turn a passion into a career. He
took his years of experience on a Montana
horse ranch, his studies of animal behavior,
and his devotion to the methods of horse training
developed by John Lyons, and dedicated all of
his time to working with horses. "Any horse
with any problem can be worked with effectively
in a gentle way," says Joe. "What
I've learned in my experience is the concept
of gentle persuasion, where the key is not to
break the horse's spirit, but rather to become
part of it. My goal in working with my clients
is to take my ability to understand and communicate
with the horses and show the owner how to do
the same. Helping the owner and the horse to
understand each other and to subsequently see
the deepening of their relationship is my greatest
joy."

- Joe Schomburg - www.wellbornquarterhorses.com
- Rapidly becoming known
as the Horse-Whisperer of Wellborn, Joe Schomburg has
built a facility where horses and people can
come to enjoy each other. Joe teaches each horse
to follow a feel first in a round pen and then
on our obstacle course. Since a horse trailer
is just another obstacle, any horse will load
(and unload) quietly and easily, even when the
handler is on the roof! But the horse must be
rewarded for each "try" even if the
try was barely perceptible! Joe teaches his
human students to be alert for the smallest
"try", and once this is accomplished,
the horse and human are true partners. Wellborn
Quarter Horses is proud to introduce its training
program called The Buddy System. It is based
upon the teachings and learnings of horsemen
such as Ray Hunt, Tom Dorrance, Wayne Perkins,
John Harms, Jack Hennig, Jessica Jahiel, and
Pat Parelli, among others.
