Our goal is to introduce positive reinforcement training methods to the traditional horse world. Seeking to avoid a collision of traditional and R+ worlds, we’ve developed a unique approach called Priority to Positive® (PtP), combining the relevant and helpful elements of traditional R+ training, as well as new PtP techniques developed by our team, specifically to address traditional perspectives.
We are continuously training and testing our methods at the Terra Nova Training Center, a 40-stall, full-service boarding and training facility in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.
