Professional Horse Training Backed by Four Generations
Jeff has been training horses since the age of 10 and represents four generations of accomplished horsemen. As an AQHA and APHA World Champion, he has earned recognition across multiple disciplines through decades of dedication, hard work, and proven horsemanship. Whether your goal is to improve your riding, start a young horse, or compete at a higher level, you’ll benefit from the experience and knowledge of a world champion whose passion for horses has defined a lifetime.
Building a Relationship With Your Horse
One of the secrets of Jeff’s training process is the solid foundation that every horse receives. This foundation, while time consuming, has proven to be successful time and time again. His horses learn to deal with stressful situations and know how to take care of themselves while they are performing and while at home. This foundation is always greatly appreciated by any rider that purchases a horse trained by Jeff. Horse and rider training is the best way for you and your horse to work together safely and comfortably.
Horse Training Services
Rider/Horse Evaluation: Jeff will help ensure that you and your horse are the right fit. Just like you, horses have personalities. If the two of you don’t get along, you can’t build a trusting and workable relationship. He will also help you determine if your horse has what it takes to help you achieve your goals. Even if your horse is your best friend, that horse may not have the drive or personality to perform to meet your goals for success. Make sure you’re matched with a horse that can take you to the next level in your horse riding.
Horse Sales: If you’re buying or selling, Jeff can find the right home for a horse. He can help you find, evaluate, and purchase a horse. Jeff will make sure you get the right horse to help you pursue your goals whether in championship riding, top level equestrian, or a simple partner for casual riding adventures. Jeff will also help you acquire a horse that fits your riding abilities – if you’re a beginner, he’ll steer you away from that thoroughbred racer.
Horse Clinics: Specialized sessions to help you grow in your riding abilities. From beginner to championship riding refinement, Jeff will teach you the skills you need to be successful.
Horse and Rider Training: Just like small humans, horses need to be taught and disciplined in order to perform safely and properly. Horses are not natural jumpers, it is a skill that needs to be taught, just like any other skill. Jeff will teach you and your horse how to take direction and communicate so that the horse follows your lead and knows what to do when directions are given.
Professional Lessons and Coaching: Jeff provides professional lessons and coaching for a number of different disciplines. Private horse and rider training is available for those seeking to go on to advanced horsemanship skills and championship riding levels.
More Than Just Training
In a world that is dominated by technology, horse and rider training is more than just learning how to ride a horse. Learning to ride is an outdoor experience that brings you back to basics, and reminds you that life is about experiencing the world around you. Young riders learn respect for their horses, the importance of safety, rules and discipline, and how to connect with people and animals – all skills that they will need as they grow into adulthood, and skills that are more and more difficult to learn in our modern world. Training a horse brings greater satisfaction of life for the horse, as well as promoting a longer life that is safer for both horse and rider.
Jeff has helped a lot of people experience the amazing feeling of learning to ride as well as helping advanced riders achieve their horsemanship goals. You can work on developing your riding skills and learn to communicate properly with your horse all while building that solid foundation for horse and rider. Jeff teaches various techniques with patience and determination, selecting the best horse and the best way to assist each student in developing their riding and horsemanship skills.
