Dave Collins - www.collinsnaturalhorsemanship.com

Specializing in the starting of colts, mustangs and other horses previously thought to be untrainable. I will initially work with your horse teaching ground manners before progressing to that all important first ride. Once your horse has mastered the basics, I will work with the owner to ensure that both horse and rider are fully in tune with each other. Lessons and trail rides also available.
