Positive Reinforcement Training
We believe… Positive Reinforcement (R+) is a powerful means of motivating and communicating with horses. We strive to develop the positive principles and tools to give traditional equestrians the means to improve performance, fix behavioral problems and create more heart in their horse(s). We recognize positive training as proven science and humane best-practice which drives us to achieve our mission.
