With a background in education, he recognized people were eager for help with their horses, and developed an extremely successful, solid training program that is unsurpassed.
As a pioneer in the clinician movement, John has been instrumental in changing the horse industry, forever. Many of today's training principles found their roots in John's common-sense approach to people and horses. His philosophy on the snaffle bit influenced positive changes in the horse show circuit. His teaching methods have continually evolved over the years as a result of working with his best teachers- thousands of horses. His son Josh follows in his father's footsteps. Continuing the legacy, Josh has made a name for himself in his own right as a respected horseman and clinician.
John and his wife Jody live in Parachute, CO on "Our Dream Ranch". Together they have seven children and ten grandchildren. John feels blessed to now help even more people with their horses through television. As a true trailblazer in the industry, John has now joined The HorseTV Channel. One might ask what to expect from John and Jody in the future. Two words sum it up - "Stay Tuned"
