    I have dedicated my entire life to horses and have specialized in starting green and young horses and restarting     racehorses.My experience in dealing with these kinds of horses has built the framework for my philosophy of     teaching. I believe a very strong foundation in basic equitation and correct, balanced riding, with an emphasis     on learning the mechanics of how a horse functions will ultimately lead to better communication and trust     between horse and rider. This is essential for mounted police work because it promotes not only a more willing     and trusting horse that is safer on the street, but also a happy and healthier horse as well.
