 “My horse went from flighty & fearful to calm & content.  He no longer stresses out
 and loses his composure over fearful circumstances.  He looks to me for guidance
 and action.  A horse that I thought was unrideable turned out to be just the horse I
 wanted.  He is now my best buddy.”  Laura Gossard – Basic and Advanced
 Apprentice


 “David is one of those rare instructors who has both knowledge and the ability to
 communicate effectively.  He makes acquiring new skills both simple and fun.  I
 cannot recall a single session that I didn’t leave feeling that both my horse and I
 had made measurable improvements. David truly strives to help everyone gain
 understanding, confidence, knowledge and most importantly joy as they work with
 their horse.   In 23 years with horses, I can honestly say he is one of the best
 horse trainers I’ve worked with.”  Christie Vermigelo – Basic and Advanced
 Apprentice 


 “Taking Dave’s class has been a goal come true for me.  His philosophy of a
 building block training program insures a safe and unintimidating atmosphere
 for both horse and apprentice.  His common sense approach enables a “meeting
 of the minds” between horse and rider.  Whether your goal is to pursue a career
 in equine handling or just to build your self confidence, I recommend looking
 into Dave’s program.”  Darlene Novak – Basic Apprentice


 “The Round Pen clinic hosted at my farm was terrific.  The enthusiasm and
 motivation that was generated from the clinic was astounding.  I can already see
 that the training tools taught to the participants have increased their self
 confidence while handling their horses. I love the fact that a manual was given
 to the participants so that they could refer back to it while practicing their new
 skills.  David, thank you for the time and energy you spent with my boarders. 
 Your clinic exceeded my expectations and I am looking forward to hosting
 more clinics in the future.”  Sue Paruszkiew – Clinic Host, Brass Horse Acres


 “David took the time to understand my training goals and where my horse was
 in his training.  Beginner to advanced riders would greatly benefit from David’s
 methods of training.  He has a talent for blending the process of learning in
 ways where you will have fun with your horse, bond with your horse, and meet
 your goals no matter what type of riding disciplines you enjoy”
