Additional Comments

Pockets is a great horse for any level of rider. My granddaughter is pictured in the video and he shows that he can carry any rider safely. I have taken him through most of CA's DUH method. He does well on the trails behind our house or in the arena, whichever you prefer.

Good Beginnings Horsemanship

I utilize training that attempts to make it easier for the horse to do what it is I am asking the horse to do. I do not want a dust up, or for the horse to lose his mind during the training process, although that might happen on occasion. My training philosophy started years ago with John Lyons, and progressed to include many other trainers whose methods are about establishing a good connection with your horse without using mechanical restraints that might force the horse to do what I want.... (read more) I try to work with the horse not against him. That forces me to work at the horse's own pace, not my own. The bottom-line is that I want the horse to like me and to make daily progress in his training. And this training process never stops. It will not end when the horse goes home or when the so-called 'training' time ends.
