About me

Just so you know....I have always been a horse lover but before that dream of owning horses... I first had to be in the Army and from there a college degree then have a great job working for Gaylord Entertainment as a Computer Programmer/Analyst designing systems.   Those were great times in the late 70's and 80's for the computer age and opportunities for creative programming.   I found Parelli in the early 90's and it was the difference that made the difference for many things!I am retired from traveling around booking clinics and lessons these days, however I still mentor many students and Parelli Professionals, as helping others become more successful at achieving their dreams with horses is always enjoyed.💞 On occasion I teach around locally in addition to teaching at the Parelli campus. I look forward to helping you if at any time you feel stuck. As I have said many times...Forward is the Key.....if you feel like you have lost your FORWARD...... ......let's Chat!

My passion for horses started way before I can remember many other things.  I didn't get to have a horse till 1989 which by then I was in my 30's, but my dreams didn't match the amazing accomplishments I achieved in the years that followed.   I started with my first horse being a beautiful yearing Black Tennessee Walking Horse Stallion.  Looking back it is nothing short of a miracle I lived,  but I was as determined to succeed as he was to be a rebellious young stallion.  In my quest to be the best horse trainer for my horse,  I took as many classes from any horse trainer that was willing to accept me into a class.  I became a successful horse trainer but I wanted more....I wanted to figure out how to be more natural with how I solved my horse problems.  I soon found a book that changed my life and every horse I touched from that point forward.  That book was published by Western Horseman and it was called Natural Horse-Man-Ship by Pat Parelli.  The contents of it as I applied his concepts and techniques just worked miracles with every horse I put my hands on.  I was winning at horse shows and had a year waiting list of folks wanting me to train their horses,  but I soon realized it didn't do much good to train folks horses if they did not understand what I had learned about horses, their language and the customs when using it.  Pat Parelli was offering a class for potential Instructors and I took the chance and went for becoming a Parelli Instructor.  I have not looked back......Someday I just might get a book written that would contain lots of stories of my adventures while touring, teaching and traveling the world teaching others to have as much fun and enjoyment with horses as I have had and are still having!
