See our customer testimonials....
Rick Brighton is a gentle, humane, certified resistance free horsemanship trainer and instructor with over 20 years experience training, showing, evaluating, and instructing riders of Rocky Mountain Horses, Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horses, Tennessee Walkers, Gaited Morgan's, Paso Fino's, Fox Trotters, and cross breeds. He has trained and shown successfully at regional and world levels. Rick is an examiner for the Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse Association and is experienced and trained in equine reproduction, shoeing, bitting and saddle fitting.
We support natural sound horses and do not use mechanical or artificial devices (heavy shoes, chains, chemicals, etc.) to enhance gait.
Every time you handle or ride a horse, you are teaching them habits. It is up to you if they are good or bad habits. We help you learn good habits.
 Resistance Free Horsemanship Lessons
Our lessons will help you learn effective communication and riding skills that create trust and respect with your horse. This process takes practice and effort and is the foundation to maintaining positive experiences with your horse.
