Universal Horsemanship Training System courses are taught in an environment where the students learn about the horse’s true nature without restraint or force. We teach skills that enable students to act as herd leader to their horses. Because our students work with the horse’s nature instead of trying to control it, they have willing, happy, safe horses.
