Scott speaks a lot about discovering and meeting the horse's needs. And it works so well. This is a complete opposite to conventional training which – in my 30+ years of riding - is only about “how to make the horse do stuff”.

Sharon

The ability to read a horses minute reactions is something that takes not only talent, but years of training. Scott has this ability to see what the majority of us miss. Thank you Scott, you not only helped Radar overcome his fears, but mine as well.

Donna

I learned how to release the tension in my horse. Everything was good. The softness and patience aspect of approaching my horse and working through things...learning how to have my horse respect my space. You should move closer to us!

Katherine

I absolutely love your one on one approach. Your style that is very clear on principle and instruction but also relaxed and sensing individual needs in the moment. Really great environment to learn.

Anna

When I saw the ads for Amazing Horse Country included the word, “Fun” I was skeptical. I couldn't envision a horse training environment that wasn't militant. My horse and I worked through some big struggles we were having, and both he and I had fun. I mean that! My horse loves coming here!

Linda

I’ve attended numerous clinics where I basically received instructions on what to do. What truly stands out about Scott is his ability to delve into the “why” behind each action. He doesn’t focus on making the horse comply; instead, he imparts a deep understanding of the horse’s psychology and physiology.

Vivian

What an amazing clinic for myself and Lahaina!!! I’m still on a high as to what we tackled and accomplished! It won’t ever be the same with her – she is a smart horse and our partnership is becoming that. THANKS for sharing your insight with all of us!

Leona

Scott's way of introducing new things, and giving the horse time to explore and be a horse provides so much success that you almost can't wait for the next thing. And it's so much fun - for both rider and horse. I truly believe Khari is having fun with me now, and that makes me happy to be his partner.

Mary

Scott doesn’t teach steps and methods. Instead, he imparts understanding: the reasons, facts, and bio-mechanics that underpin how we work with horses. His approach makes everything coherent and understandable. And it works.

Marjorie

The concept of space had more meaning for me. I think that is because of [my horse's] behavior and you pointing out just what was going on with him. All of my questions were answered and I left with what I already knew strengthened.

Patty

You have made a positive and memorable impact on our lives and we appreciate your desire to share your knowledge. We will definitely be back for some more learning and fun!

Marg

There isnt one single thing I learned... there are many. Timing/ connect/releases are up at the top of the list. Focus, feel and space are others. Just being with the horse and gaining confidence as a team. Obstacles and trails are awesome to work with.

Jennifer

You don't realize what you're missing until you discover Amazing Horse Country. This unique style of horsemanship remains hidden until you immerse yourself in it. Truly, 'amazing' is the perfect descriptor.

Tammy

Thank you Scott, for being patient and understanding. Your knowledge and commitment is outstanding and I look forward to many many more clinics.

Brenda

By being the leader, and demonstrating leadership, I could help my horse overcome his fear. Scott has a way of helping both the rider and horse deal with issues. He explains things in ways that are easy to understand and implement. I learned so much, and made so much progress with my horse in just three days.

Cindy

Just want to send you a heart felt “thank you” for all the guidance, challenges, patience, confidence and insight you provided to our group over the past four days at the clinic. So excited to continue my journey with my equine partners.

Lea

Super practical and attainable mentorship! Scott speaks in relateable terms, is very humble, wise, approachable, AND has a great sense of humour! He's not only excellent with horses, but squirrels seem to really like him too! (heh--inside joke ;-)

Mandy

It was a real strength that the clinic was flexible to the group and the individual needs and not a "canned" format. The most important thing was learning the importance of focus and having clear communication. I attended a clinic last year and with a repeat this year I was able to solidify previous information and then build on more learning.

Alice

I discovered that each horse is a distinct individual. Their requirements for success vary from one horse to another. What truly impresses me about Scott is his knack for pinpointing those specific needs. He showed me how to tailor my approach to suit my horse, instead of having everyone in the clinic do the exact same thing.

Cathy

This was the single most helpful and common sense clinic I have ever been to. The instructions and help from Scott were clear and very helpful. He was always available to help and answered any questions I had.

Chelsey

I was very impressed in the knowledge Scott had, not just in the arena but in our morning sit down meetings as well. Scott also does fantastic in managing his time to work one on one with those who needed it :)

Patty

I know if they could, our horses would also thank you for giving us the tools to help us to start understanding them better. I want to also thank both you and Jody for your kindness and the words of encouragement.

Bridget

I want to thank you again for a great 3 days of learning and growing! You brought a significant shift in my understanding which made some other pieces also fall into place. Your knowledge, understanding, patience, and caring set Bree and me up for success and allowed me to understand her better and her to trust me more. I'm excited to take this shift in my understanding into all my relationships with horses

Shasta

What a great format for learning. So much one on one training as well as the opportunity to watch and learn from other participants. Incredible (and sometimes a little emotional) to watch the breakthrough moments for handler and horse.

Brenda

We got the right lead from a standstill! No popping up, no tension, nice loose rein and a relaxed right lead! Thanks, Scott, for all your patience and knowledge you share with us!

Mary

Thanks for the excellent clinic! You are so good at reading horses and working through the layers. I always learn so much. Thank you for being so patient and working Smarty through his problem places. I can tell you how much I appreciate it. Thanks again

Rick

Scott’s coaching leaves me with a sense of achievement after every session. Every action I take feels like a positive stride toward success. Unlike some clinics that leave me drained and feeling beat up, this experience is refreshing.

Mark

If horsemanship is about communication... then it helps when the one teaching this is a good communicator. Scott is a GREAT communicator, able to teach in a very easy and accessible way, the physiological and emotional responses of a horse—and the proper way to engage and answer those responses.

Colette

It was a wonderful clinic! Scott is a great presenter with amazing insight into horses and how people can relate to them and how they relate to us.

Mary

Thanks for the excellent clinic! You are so good at reading horses and working through the layers. I always learn so much. Thank you for being so patient and working Smarty through his problem places. I can tell you how much I appreciate it. Thanks again

Tammy

Scott is very good at explaining his methods to you. No question was a dumb question and he answered them all exclusively, and showed you an answer either working with you and your horse or giving an example with his horse.

Chris

Well organized with small classes. Everyone gets individual lesson time and they also observe and participate by commenting and asking questions during other lessons. Thus, the entire day is a learning experience.
