I am guided everyday by my love of horses and what they can teach us. My passion is educating through courses, videos, books and programs about horses and what they can do for people
My discoveries forever changed the way we train horses when I shared the gentle Join-Up® method of ’starting’ horses. They don’t want violence in their lives. They thrive in an environment of cooperation.
This went against the 6000 year old traditional training methods. The horses rewarded me with eleven world championships, across disciplines, validating that horses respond in a silent language of gestures.
My values reflect an understanding of the long term benefits to humans who learn and apply non-violent forms of communication and leadership and to help humans and horses live better lives.
My goal is to change the outdated method of ‘breaking’ horses, and people too.
We honor eachother’s autonomy with non-violent and collaborative ways of being together. Violence, which once favored survival, now threatens our survival as a species.
