"There are a number of well regarded horse trainer/clinicians here this weekend, and I have been impressed with how many times different trainers have made comments very much echoing/supporting the tenets you and Steve Peters have been teaching re The Horse Brain for so long now.

Since I first heard Steve Peters speak on the human brain/the horse brain in 2018 at Best Horse Practices Summit, and your collaborations with him / clinics in the years since, I have observed…

The education y’all have been providing has been taking hold, resulting in y’all’s teachings becoming the foundation of an important shift in focus for Horsemanship.

I’m nobody special… just a horse owner (11 head) and a Trail Rider who cares enough about my horsemanship and equine volunteer work to continue trying to learn and improve through clinics/resources offered by a few select horsemen.

If a nobody special/regular ole horse owner/rider can recognize the importance your teachings, as well as see it in the work of young “up and coming trainers”, then you know the ripple effect is working, and you guys have made an important contribution to the Legacy of Horsemanship.

Thank you for your work.”
