Training and Communication
I want to acknowledge how very fortunate we are to have so many great horsewomen and men in Colorado and the United States. I've learned from them all and encourage you to do the same. I hesitate to list any for fear of forgetting someone, but here are some that have influenced me the most: Linda and Pat Parelli, Monty Roberts, Linda Tellington-Jones, Mark Rashid, Dr. Robert Miller, and Patricia Skinner.
