e have two locations in Oregon & Arizona and offer 4 different main classes, ( From Foundation to Finished, Reined Cow Working, Trail Riders Training & Horsemanship & Ladies Only - Practical Horsemanship with Beverly Howe), in addition offering other informal custom workshops/clinics. All follow the same concepts and philosophy of our From Foundation to Finished -10 Step Training Program taught in our original full Horsemanship Reinsman Course. We have just capsulized and focused on particular areas to give our students the opportunity to reach their particular goals, building from one subject to another with their horse. In this way we can better reach the needs of all our students, no matter the level of experience, encouraging return rider participation and personal goal setting for ones horsemanship. We develop riders who are competent well rounded, versatile horsemen, well versed in in fine aspects of true horsemanship.
