Dave Collins is a horse trainer with over 30 years of horse training experience and for the past 10 years specializing in natural horsemanship.

His methods are those that have been developed by horse whisperers over the generations.

Dave will initially work with your horse on the ground and teach him how to face his fears.  

Coming face to face with some tarp for the first time.

Your horse will be exposed to tarp and plastic bags and will learn that once he faces these fears they go away. 

The next step is learning how to side pass and conquering the fear of tight spaces.

Once your horse is confident at this, then the saddle and first ride will happen.

Learning how to deal with a plastic bag.

Without force and by using love, language and leadership Dave will work with your horse to become a gentle and willing partner.

Training times vary from horse to horse and what the owner is wishing to achieve.  The majority of horses stay for a minimum of 2 months.
