| I have been looking for this kind of training for over 2
years when I came across Joe's website. Living in Scotland does not give me the opportunity to attend one of Joe's certification classes but Joe took me on as a "special student" and trained me in Florida and Costa Rica. Joe has the ability of never stopping to learn himself and unlike other trainers is not set in his way and does take on board other ideas of teaching and integrates it into his own training. This makes him very unique and I am privileged that he took out time for me especially to teach me. I am much more confident now and can apply his training methods to my horses. The beauty of his method of training is that when you understand the concept of "conditional response" you are able to cope with any situation and are able to develop your own style of training. Training with Joe means that you have to think for yourself and you are not bound to him for years on end unlike other trainers who don't give you the confidence to go out and teach or train horses yourself as they are afraid this would take business away from them. This method is the best way for horses and that means that it is the best way for yourself. I am very grateful for Joe and his never ending quest for knowledge which he teaches in a down to earth and easy to understand language (with a sense of humor which is important) and can therefore teach everybody from beginner to advance rider. Thank you Joe Anette |
