Being Free

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed our lesson today…..I loved being free with Parker, having him follow me over things and so on…..
and to be somewhat able to do the games….He is a lovely horse and you are a wonderful teacher.

Thanks so very much for all your patience…..

Calm and Cooperative for X-rays — Without Sedatives

My vet and his X-ray tech were here yesterday, expecting to sedate Doncella for the procedures they needed to do.  Their equipment is very valuable so they need for the horse to remain very quiet and perfectly still, with her hooves up on very small blocks, as they work around her legs and hooves.

I requested that they not sedate my horse. Because of the hoof placement techniques you showed me during our last lesson she went through the entire process calmly and with cooperation. No more suggestions of sedation!  I am so impressed.  Thank you very much!

Best Training and ‘Horse Hotel’

Not only am I getting the best training, that I would drive many more miles to have my beloved horse Ruby is staying in the best hotel money can buy.

From Untouchable to Partner

Erin works miracles. She took my virtually untouchable four-year-old adopted Mustang mare and in six months brought out the kind, gentle, and loving horse I knew was there all along. Her tireless work ethic and gentle demeanor helped Shasta become my partner, and a horse unafraid to do anything. Shasta ties, clips, bathes, hauls, and goes down the trail with no fuss. Erin changed my life, our lives.  Thank you Erin!

Changes in Attitude

It’s not very often you get more than you pay for. What Erin did with my yearling and bold and bratty 3-year-old in two months is almost beyond words. They arrived back home with manners, but better than that, they came home believing that humans are trustworthy leaders. Unbelievable change in attitude.

My shot-phobic yearling now couldn’t care less when approached with a syringe. One day I went to town and left the pasture gate open by mistake, I came home to find her hanging out in the horse trailer. The three-year-old passed for a calm, mature mare at her warmblood inspection, ditto for her trips to the vet. I’m very grateful to Erin, she is an awesome trainer. I would and will send horses to her again.
