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.

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.
