Over the years I have been blessed to study all over the country with some of the world's master horsemen. My teaching includes many of their methods of Natural Horsemanship. I like to call it the "best of the best". Whether or not you choose to work together with me, I urge you to find a teacher you like, understand and can learn from. No matter whom you choose, I highly recommend that you watch and read the work of Dr. Robert Miller DVM. Not only has Dr. Miller produced the gold standard of books and videos on the psychology and behavior of horses, he along with Rick Lamb have written the most comprehensive history of Natural Horsemanship available today: "The Revolution in Horsemanship". For anyone interested in understanding the evolution, similarities and differences of today's Natural Horsemanship Clinicians, this book along with "Natural Horsemanship Explained" is enormously helpful.

More Inspirations

MONTE FOREMAN Clinic With Patrick Wyse - 1993
Pat Wyse is a disciple of the world famous horseman Monte Foreman. Along with a great reputation as a horse trainer in the 1950's, Monte was the first person to scientifically study the different gaits and footfalls of a horse. He did this by filming horses in their different gaits and then studying each individual frame to document when each one of the horses 4 feet struck the ground. This was the first Clinic Tim rode in.

BUCK BRANNAMAN Clinic Auditing - Eagle, Colorado 2002
Buck is one of today's master horsemen. His books and his videos have been invaluable. It was an honor to briefly visit with him after auditing one of his clinics.

My Greatest Teacher of All Time

AUSTIN- AQHA "GUN TOWN BREEZE"

When I asked the above master horsemen who had been their greatest teacher, they all answered with the same name, The Horse. Having been in a relationship with my horse Austin for quite a while, I now understand what they meant. Austin, my partner and my teacher, continues to be a gift for which I am eternally grateful.
