Comments from clinic riders and auditors:

Rick has unique, effective skills in working with horses and people. He is able to analyze and describe corrections for getting your horses to gait - even those most difficult with pacing and trotting tendencies.

I really appreciate Rick's positive attitude and calm manner he has in dealing with the horse and the rider. I have been to other clinics where the instructor used sarcasm in an attempt to be humorous and I found it to be demeaning and embarrasing. Rick is really nice and positive - Never puts down a horse or rider.

Trish Groda

 

Very knowledgable and understanding. Easy to work with and understand. Feel comfortable and not intimidated working with Rick. He is also very calm and good with both horse and rider. Great experience. Thank you

Rick has a great way of leading horses and riders. His patient and quiet approach makes it easy for horse and rider to learn.

Gisele Sassen

 

Rick does a great job of instruction and reasons that make a horse gait. He explains that it is the rider in partnership with his horse that makes the gaiting experience possible. Great job!

Rick is a professional trainer. This is his living and he's very dedicated. I've had him work with 3 different TWH's we have for different training issues from colt starting, two of them to gain human trust with one that had been mishandled. His focus is on clear cues for safety and trust. Great trainer!

Debra Curtis
 

Excellent quality to workshop - especially appreciated gentle quiet approach. Thanks so much!

Rick's obviously effective way with horses is much better than the rough and ready manner I was exposed to as a kid. I'm learning a lot and quickly.
