Torchlight Training
MY HORSES, MY TEACHERS (yes, I borrowed that)
Any horseman will tell you that the horses are as much our teachers as is the person on the ground instructing you. In my lifetime I have ridden hundreds of horses and they all imparted to me some knowledge, great or small, that is now lodged in my subconscious, felt in my backbone. Every once in awhile, a horse comes along that does more than that. That's the horse that changes your life. I've had a few of those and I will list them here, and also introduce you to the horses I work with today. (This page is still in development, more coming soon.)
