Here is Chrystal, a Arabian mare. She was with a dressage trainer for three months who couldn't get anywhere with her. Here I am on her the first time. I rode her with out anything but a twine around her neck. We walked, trot and cantered, plus did figure eights, she is doing fine. She does everything I ask with or without a bridle. That includes jumping or just stepping over something one foot at a time.
- Update on Chrystal , she has a great home with a good hearted lady..

This is Seven , I got pulled in on him from another trainer. He wouldn't take his lead plus he would buck when asked to canter. The very thing I notice was his front hoofs were set at two different angles which made him build up more on one side than the other. I trimmed them the same and then worked his weak half. In one week he stopped bucking plus he was taking both leads.

Here is my buddy Nash, the poor boy was stuck in a barn for six years and never saw daylight. You would have to see me work him to really appreciate this horse. I can do half passes, side passes, turn on the haunches, and a nice smooth stop, just with a string around his neck.

Silver he was a problem child. He hurt three people before he came to me, breaking their ribs by throwing them. He is home now and he made a good horse. He will be one that will always stick in my mind.

Hank is the bay horse his problem was he liked to push people around. He would get nasty about it. Plus he would buck at the canter.
The bald face horse is Lance. He had a bad rearing problem. From what I saw and what our chiropractor said, it all came from a bad saddle fit. His back was very sore and had torn muscles.
Here we are at a show with the two of them after training.

Here is Titan, he isn't a problem horse but he is a special needs horse. He is swayback, I taught him how to drive to help his back and he enjoys driving. He is a different horse when I put him in harness.
The Paint foal in the picture is Dante who came from Oregon. Two people tried to put him down because he had a crooked front leg, but no one could catch him. A killer buyer bought him, but he was too little to go to slaughter, so they sent him to an auction. Nicki hunted the new owners down and now he is with us. We took him to the specialists and had his leg operated on which was a success. Now his legs are straight and he is fine.
