Demonstrations:
Randy will come to your event and demonstrate how, through language and
communication, higher levels of control are possible than most people
imagine. He will show how horses can be calmer and safer to be around
and reach a higher level of performance through natural horsemanship
than is possible through traditional methods. This is designed to
inspire people to make a change in the way they perceive their horses.

Clinics:
Randy conducts clinics in the U.S. and Europe. In his riding clinics
riders must be able to control their horses enough to be around other
horses safely. Specialty clinics such as colt starting through higher
performance clinics, participants will be evaluated on an individual
basis. Clinics are limited to a maximum of 6 participants in
order to insure you receive individualized attention. In the 2 day
clinics you will learn the most important lesson in horsemanship, the
emergency stop. Done correctly, the one rein stop will keep you safer
than any other single thing you will ever learn. Also we will
work on your horse's emotions such as spookyness and speed control. In
the 3-6 day clinics we will build on the 2 day work. I will show you
how to use an indirect rein to help control your horse's shoulders.
This will help give you better overall control of your horse. I
guarantee that in my clinics you will understand the information and
see the benefits of it. You will leave with more confidence and a
better realtionship with your horse. We use knowledge not force!

Training & Lessons:
Randy offers monthly training on a very limited basis. Randy never has
over 2 horses in training at any given time. He prefers to only work
with horses that the rider is already participating in lessons or
clinics with him. He strongly believes that the rider is the key to any
successful training for the horse. If the rider does not learn to carry
on what Randy has taught the horse then the horse will only benefit
from a small percentage of the training that was taught him. Because of
this, cold calls out of the blue he charges $1500.00 a month, but if
you are already working with him, the rate is $1000.00 to include full
board.

Horse Evaluation:
Selecting the right horse for you is 90% of the battle. The vast
majority of riders that I come in contact with are not riding the
correct horse for their skill level. This makes any progress much much
harder. Before you purchase a horse, contact a professional to help
you. Make sure that they are well respected and trusted in the horse
community. I offer a service where I will go with you and help evaluate
the horse of your interest. In my opinion, this will be some of the
best money you will spend.

or both for $49.99 "Trailer Loading and Ground Manners"- this DVD will
give you the information you need to have your horse loading like a
champ. The techniques I use are very easy , simple and straight
forward. Even with very little experience with horses you should be
able to take the information on this DVD and teach your horse to load
safely.
"Control your Horse's Body and Mind"- in this DVD I focus on the
language of the horse. I show you how to gain control over your horse's
body which will ultimately give you control over his mind. The
information on this DVD is presented in a very easy to understand
format. It can help you whether you are just getting started or you've
been riding for years.
Round Pens:
$1900.50 inc. tax - I believe we have one of the safest round pens on
the market. It is specifically designed for horses with no sharp edges,
hooks or latches for the horse to get hurt on. Tehy are 6 foot tall
which discourages even the tallest horses from trying to jump. You can
put a horse in this round pen and feel confident that when you come
back he will still be there.
