Robbie Potter and Hoover
Philosophy
Successful horse training is about trust and
respect - from both you and your horse.   As the
human partner, you need to have a purpose and a
reason.  Your equine partner just needs to know
that *you* know, and he'll have the security he
needs to want to be with you.  

Horses are honest - they'll tell you what they need.  
Understand that your horse is doing exactly what
he needs to do at any given moment.  In working
with your horse, if you do the same thing over and
over, you'll get the same result.  Learn to recognize
when your horse "gets it", and then move on and
present him with something new.  Keep your horse
interested in what you have to offer.  When you
What Does Robbie Potter Offer?
Have you ever felt out of control with your horse as if destiny rather than your ability
controlled your fate?

Do you wish for a better relationship between you and your horse?

Through improved communication, you and your horse can become confident
with each other to better your performance in any riding discipline.  In clinics,
lessons and private training for riders and horses of all disciplines and abilities,
Robbie focuses on combining natural horsemanship techniques with practical
purpose, understanding the horse's natural behavior, and building a relationship
where your horse would rather be with you than anywhere else.

Building a better relationship for horses and riders
work with your  horse, let them hunt and explore and make mistakes.  Once they've
found the right answer they’ve got it.  They’ve got ownership of the knowledge, and
once it's theirs, nobody can take it from them.
