It is such an awesome feeling to be able to connect with your horse and be able to understand what she is feeling. I would recommend Russ to anyone who wants to understand horses, learn to ride, or develop a deeper connection with their horse.”

Russ is determined to bring new and improved ideas in horsemanship to the world. I believe that he WILL transform how we will all communicate with the horse and with each other. He is truly an inspiration to all who meet him.”

Jenn Hausauer - (Spectator at Alberta Mane Event Trainers Challenge) - “Very, very well done yesterday. Your horsemanship is beautiful! You were the winner in my books. These days it is not very often that you get to see such a gentle, kind soul in the arena with a young horse.”

Breanne Gibson - (Client) - “Being able to learn and work with Russ is a true gift. His love, patience and understanding as an experienced horseman quickly shine through. Russ is very thorough in his teaching because he does not want you to just understand what he said, but to be able to explain the “why” and truly grasp the importance of it. Every step, no matter how small it may appear, provides the building blocks for the foundation and ultimately the relationship between you and your horse. I am so happy to have the opportunity to learn from Russ who gives his 100% effort and energy into helping you understand and build a safe relationship with your horse.”
