Debbie's Philosophy }
I have been involved with animals and rescue for over 30 years.
My training years started as a child, watching my father, professionally, train problem dogs . My entire family appreciate the love of animals. We know how special they are!
My training methods for horses are very basic. I start all horses on a dressage based, lunging program.
They work, one day on and one day off. Training sessions are timed and the horse is conditioned, the same as any athlete in training. Horses respect discipline and boundaries. Most important, is to learn their language. Their reactions are not the same as a dog or cat. Many people make this mistake. Horses need to feel secure to make progress in any program. Horses were prey animals in the wild and are always waiting for flight.
It is up to the trainer to understand what the horse is trying to say!
My mission is to educate young horse enthusiasts, so that they may have a better relationship with their equine partner.
The better trained the horse is, the better chance they have of not ending up for slaughter.
