"I have been involved with horses for at least 25 years, owning and leasing several horses along the way. I have also been blessed to have had very fine instructors in dressage and jumping over the years, winning my fair share of the ribbons. My horses and I always seemed to get along well as partners, & as ribbons go, my relationships with my horses seemed to be happily productive, but I always felt something was missing.   After purchasing and digesting "Horse, Follow Closely", "A Horse is a Horse", the 3 volume set of "My Horse", and "Time Well Spent" all written by GaWaNi Pony Boy, I discovered the precious key that would finally unlock the mystery that defines equus for me. I found that a horse behaviorist named GaWaNi Pony Boy had more to teach me about the horse than any Olympic Gold Medalist in Jumping could teach me in a clinic way back in the 1980's. The Olympic Gold Medalist was a fantastic technician and tactician, but he was unable to give me greater insight into the intellect and heart of equus.   Iyuptala University has given me the scientific information and instructor mentorship needed to follow the problem solving framework Pony Boy sets out in his method of developing a positive and productive relationship with horses. Armed with the most current and up to date information in equine science, equine behavior, and my long practical hands-on years of experience with horses, I hope to be able to build a horse training business based on a philosophy that considers the horse as equal partner in their (the horse's and owner's) life journey.”
