"FOR THE HORSE"

The "pair bond" is the strongest emotional bond between a foal and its mother. This bond is what keeps the foal at its mother's side, even when crossing raging waters, negotiating deep ravines, or any number of dangerous or "perceived" dangerous situations. Building a partnership with your horse can relay this same "pair bonding" trust in your horse. A confident horse needs a confident rider, that is what Tony and Jenny seek to give you - confidence and knowledge. They will help you build leadership skills that will help your horse see you the same way as it saw its mother. In order for there to be a harmonious relationship the horse must be convinced that a human will not compromise its safety.

Jenny and Tony Vaught studied as Parelli Professionals and are committed to Natural Horsemanship.

Using Principles of Natural Horsemanship, Tony and Jennifer can help you reach confidence levels at your and your horse's pace.

  Clinic themes Include:

  • Ranch Horse Versatility

  Clinics schedules begin with goal setting then ground work to prepare you and your horse for assigned riding tasks depending on your level and the level of your horse. Cow clinics include practice herding with cattle.

  Clinics are scheduled from 1-5 days. You can bring your horse for a day, a week. Other activities such as loading the problem horse, and liberty work can be included. Special sessions can be arranged if you want to bring your horse and get one-on-one training.
