In today's world of "keep 'em coming back" and "level to level" network
marketing strategies, Wil's honest & real, "tell it all" approach has always made his clinics, schools and videos stand apart from the others since he started his clinics in1983, … he is now known as a pioneer in the "so called clinician world"

Because of Wil's generous & concerned personal nature, he has stood firm
on his commitment to share what he calls "THE REST OF THE STORY" Since at he is willing to continue to extend his format and spend a week at a time with a privileged few, the opportunity is truly a priceless one.

Wil Howe is a unique mixture of cowboy, horseman and philosopher, having spent over 40 years making a living strictly around the horse, from the cattle range to the competitive world of showing. Although he specializes in reined cowhorses, he and his wife, Beverly have trained over 20 different breeds for a variety of events. From this they have developed a well-rounded knowledge and appreciation for all horses and what it takes to train them successfully, with a solid, lasting foundation, to build the versatile, "all around" horse. This knowledge has been capsulized into a formulated, sequential program that is easy for horse and rider to comprehend.

Having "been there...done that," Wil understands and can identify with those who are truly searching for help. He has endured the frustrating process of trial and error and can save his students the grief. Wil's is the voice of "reality and results". We're talking training horses and getting down to the details that count, .practical, tried and true.

If you can ask the question, you're going to get the answer. "What you put out is what you get back" is a point that Wil stresses in training, and this applies equally to what can be learned in the school. Those with the ability and willingness to apply themselves and invest the energy can actually leave the school having attained the resources to successfully advance a horse to any performance level or specialized event they choose.

There is individual goal-oriented instruction by both Wil and Beverly for each rider and their horse. While Wil is a "speed reader" of horses, helping people to understand what there horse's needs are,… Beverly is a pro at breaking down mental blocks and getting a person beyond where their problems in riding are keeping them from advancing. Truly a "coach of coaches," her years of studying how riders affect a horse's reactions have proven invaluable. Personal attention is given to each student to help them improve their seat, leg aids, hands and timing, and proper, effective use of spurs

Each session is limited to only eight riders and no spectators, which allows us to form a close relationship with our students.

The seven-day session allows us to elaborate on Wil's "Philosophy of Horse Psychology, " which actually is a way of life, and the basis for his entire program. The course follows our "From Foundation to Finished ©" Training Program Training Program which is presented in our video series. Starting with the ground work, Wil shares his all-important "Guidelines for Acceptable Equine Behavior." Students are guided through his 10 Steps and the variations used to advance horses from the snaffle to the bridle. The week-long session fully encompasses the training process required to prepare a horse for a finished bit, and is the main emphasis of the school. This will give students a complete understanding of the techniques involved in the handling, reining training, and "tuning" of a bridled horse.
