Home is where the horse is.
Your Aspirations.
If you aspire to master horse handling and develop any horse’s full potential as a top performance horse, you’ve come to the right place.
What we teach.
We teach the “Basic Handle” set forth by the late and great, Monte Foreman who is the father of modern day horsemanship. He was a horse scientist and contributed his life’s efforts to the research of how horses moved in response to the rider and continually developed a method of move basics that every horse and rider should be able to perform. He believed in using humane equipment and developed the “Balance Ride” saddles along with the “versatile humane Pelham” featuring a drop back curb strap loop and other innovations. We use this equipment that so few seem to know about today. And those who do and fully understand it’s purposes are among the enlightened community.
You found us for a reason.
You were lead here because the traditional styles and methods are not for you and you know that there is more to horsemanship than disciplines and fads. What we develop here is a true understanding of the horse and how to work to get better results by working with mother natures law. You cannot change what a horse is, you have to work with it. It is not about putting a horse in a human world, it is about a human going into a horse world. The knowledge and wisdom to know the difference is what makes a great horseman.
Discover our world.
We are located in Arroyo Grande, California and currently have 8 school horses; 6 mustangs and 2 quarter horses. We will show you what a horse is and how he thinks and operates. We will show you versatile and efficient equipment. We will go on an adventure to the Central Coast beaches and trails. We may even go to a few local horse competitions just to get out of our backyard and have some fun. However, we do not focus on competitions, we focus on the journey that our horse takes us on.
Your next steps to mastery.
- Schedule an orientation date and first lesson request.
- Check out our services and learn about our extended “horse lab” program.
- Attend your orientation with your filled out forms and proper attire.
- Attend your first lesson in horse handling science.
We look forward to meeting you and being your guide to becoming a great horse handler.
