 Gord Searle
Gord Searle, from Strathmore, Alberta, has been involved with horses now for close to 30 years. His Natural Horsemanship Training is custom-designed to help you and help your horse. How many people have been hurt or even died because of a horse that bolted due to fear? We are all familiar with the story of the late Christopher Reeves (Superman). Through a variety of exercises he will teach you to earn the respect of your horse. He will teach your horse how to think its way through problems. His training will result in you riding a horse that stops and thinks rather than just runs away when it is scared.
"As my interest in training grew I began studying what others were doing, including Pat Parelli, Johnathan Field, Josh Lyons and Kent Williamson to name a few. I learned that by employing more natural methods of training you can improve your results and your relationship with your horse.
"I also learned that one technique does not work all of the time. Every horse and every rider is different and training must be adjusted to those differences. Some horses are overly sensitive; others are very good at ignoring instructions. The difference between a good and a great trainer is the ability to adapt to a variety of situations and employ the most appropriate methods for each."
