Mark Rashid Horse Training
Mark Rashid Horse Training is located in Estes Park, Co. Mark Rashid (pronounced RASH-id) is an internationally acclaimed horse trainer known for his ability to understand the horse’s point of view and solve difficult problems with communication rather than force. He began working with horses at age ten, when he met the “old man,” who taught him to work with horses, not against them, and to listen to what the horse is trying to say. Mark’s clinics center on one-on-one work with horse and rider and are immensely popular with people around the world.
When Mark decided to study the martial art of aikido as a way to improve his horsemanship, he brought the same quiet determination to it that he exhibits in his work with horses. After years of practice, he has earned a second degree black belt in Yoshinkan aikido and now teaches the “way of harmony” in the local dojo.
Mark worked full time on ranches for many years gathering herds, managing stock, and training horses. When time permits, he still enjoys working on ranches near his home in Estes Park, Colorado.

Amy Allen - Horsemanship and Barefoot Trimming
Amy Allen is an experienced horse trainer/riding instructor in Shelton, WA, who specializes in unbroke and problem horses and working with students who are afraid or have been through a traumatic experience.
She also is a barefoot horse trimmer. Amy’s journey into barefoot trimming started
because of her own horse. Amy owns an OTTB, TJ, who had the typical thin cracking walls, could not hold a shoe for over 5 weeks, long toes, low heels, thin soles... just bad feet. After consulting with her farrier, we tried glue on shoes. On the second set, one of the shoes broke at the quarters. Amy became frustrated because the shoes are very expensive. Amy made the decision to pull her horses shoes and since December 2002, he has never worn another pair of shoes.Amy began researching the barefoot trim method. She educated herself by attending clinics, reading all sorts of material and practicing on her own horses. Barefoot trimming is not just about the horse's foot. It's about the body as a whole, their nutrition and their living environment.
I came across her on Facebook and was intrigued and impressed with her horse training/barefoot trimming. I encourage you to visit her website and become a fan on facebook. She also is a monthly contributor for the Buckaroo Leather Newsletter.

What makes Bell’s approach so different?

Jerry Tindell
Buckaroo Leather is proud to be working with Jerry Tindell's Horse and Mule School. Jerry will be working with us to design and improve on many of our large horse and mule tack styles.We are proud to be working with Jerry and are excited by his expertise and enthusiasm.
Tindell's Horse and Mule School offers private training to committed people who would benefit from our assistance when they have neither the time nor the skills required to reach their desired goals with their stock.
Their training program assists both the animal and owner with achieving expected results in a safe and effective manner. The range of training offered includes starting a young or green-broke horse or mule, re-training and problem solving for stock that have developed undesirable behaviors.
Jerry's emphasis is establishing a solid foundation; making sure the animal understands and can comfortably perform the basic principles of soft, flexible movement, while also developing good manners. This program is strongly recommended for all aspects of handling, including riding, packing and driving. It is equally suitable to English or Western riding traditions.
Jerry Tindell's training process is based on 6 steps of control. These 6 steps are identified, used and taught in three stages: round pen, ground work and riding. It is highly recommended that the owner become familiar with these 6 steps during the course of the animal's training. They are the beginning, middle and end of creating and maintaining a willing equine partner. Most behavior issues include a weakness in at least one of these steps, and can be fixed to a great extent by training the horse to be better at them.
