Welcome

A little about this website

In 1997 I started a website named The Tack Box.  It achieved some popularity and offered a message board and had a nice following of people. Gradually the internet evolved and Facebook became a more popular way for people to communicate. So The Tack Box has evolved into this personal site and we
Fast forward to 2019!.
I am renaming the website Equestrian Coaching  I offer limited coaching in relationship based horsemanship. I like to play with horses who have some issues with humans. I enjoy helping people renew their confidence after a time off from riding or horses. I offer horses that people can enjoy some time with without the huge expense of ownership. I also organize Horsemanship clinics several times a year with Parelli Professionals and others . The last few years I have become interested in Western Dressage and have attended some shows and done some clinics. 
I began riding when I was 9 and became interested in ground training many years ago when faced with a very scared filly. I studied books by Horseman  Tom Roberts from Australia . In 2002 I discovered Parelli Natural Horsemanship and have been studying Parelli  ever since. Riva and I attained our Level 3 green string before she became unsound. Riva is now semi-retired but assists me with people and horses with their confidence. We participated in a clinic in the spring of 2018.  I am working towards Level 4 with Arwen and starting over with a young gelding named Tucker and assisting him gain confidence with humans and himself.
