A Message from Martin

At this point in my life I have outlived all my old mentors but I still want to learn. I’ve learned that my horses are my best teachers, but I also know there are other ways to learn. Now I not only turn to people I feel have experience I’m seeking with horses, but people that have the science and other knowledge that can make my job easier and life more enjoyable. My friends and acquaintances share their experiences with me.

I enjoy learning, I’m not locked in on only one method, one discipline, one way of teaching. Ray Hunt would say “you may learn something from anyone.” And whoever I can learn from I’d like to share with my clients.  Join me with this new phase of teaching now available… streaming.

I’m not sure exactly what that even means but I have people smarter than me to make it happen.

Science and Bio Mechanics

In 2010 – Dr. Steve Peters and I met and began collaborating to bring Evidence-Based Science along with practical applications to anyone who wanted to build a better understanding of how to work and develop their communication with horses. In this area you will find EBH Streaming DVDS, Virtual Sessions and Lessons.

In 2020 COVID changed how we could meet together and out of it was born our Virtual Sessions. We have interviews, lessons, storytelling and more, all now available through streaming to take with you on the road or down the trail.

A very special series

Frank Barnett and I began working together 20 years ago. He had tough horses to sort through. I wanted to know more about the why and the how he dealt with these horses in a short period of time to get them where they needed to be for the owner to resume at high level competition.
