Sam Beechboard     

Sam Beechboard - www.sambeechboardpnh.com
Parelli Natural Horsemanship 3 Star Instructor. Sam lives in the beautiful foothills of Middle Tennessee, with his wife Linda on 77 Ranch, their 92 acre farm. He raises quarter horses and Texas long horn cattle. His love of horses began as a young boy as he helped work on the farm with mules. In the early 1960's he started riding at saddle clubs and then AQHA registered shows. In 1991 Sam came to a life changing crossroad in his education on horsemanship when he attended a demo by Pat Parelli. The friends he went to the seminar with bought Sam the video course. He watched the tapes repeatedly and realized Pat was getting more results with his horses and not using force. He knew this was the type of horseman he wanted to be. Sam is now Level 3 and working on Level 4 in the Parelli Horsemanship program. He is certified to teach Levels 1, 2, and 3 and assess Level 1 & 2. He has been a student of Parelli Natural Horsemanship since 1993 and became an Instructor in 1997.

 Jimmy Driver    

Jimmy Driver - www.progressiveequine.com
Graduating in 2001 from a certification program, Jimmy began his professional training under Progressive Equine®, LLC.  He has been around horses for thirty years, riding for fun, in trail rides, to showing TN Walking Horses. Jimmy brings his love for horses along with over 25 years experience of teaching in the medical field and the knowledge acquired in the certification program together providing his clients with the ultimate educational experience. Jimmy’s philosophy is that he has just started learning and that everyone can learn from studying and riding with as many clinicians as you can. He continues to observe all clinicians he can in order to evaluate if there is a better way to teach the horse. This, the pursuit for more knowledge, is what Jimmy feels is the difference between a horseman and a horse trainer. Jimmy tries to give his clients what they need for a SAFE and FUN experience, without a lot of information that they will never use. He feels very strongly about all horses needing a good safe foundation no matter what discipline you want to ride. Jimmy has an active Horsemanship Program and travels throughout the country conducting clinics, demos at horse fairs/expos and private lessons.

  Courtney Smith   

Courtney Smith - www.needahandhorsetraining.com
Through the use of Natural Horsemanship, I develop the Trust, Respect and Softness that makes an enjoyable horse to ride. Bonds are made by patience, guidance and understanding. These are the basis for my training. I expose your horse to as much as possible while they are in training. A dependable mount is not made overnight, but with proper training and exposure, they can have a good start. All horses in my training program gain the experience of being in an unpredictable environment. Whether they are going to the show or hauling to the local trails, I try to expose your horse to as much as possible, while concentrating on their training. The Ultimate Goal is SOFT SUPPLE CONTROL WITH A WILLING HORSE.
