Mike Hughes- When I am working with a horse in a round pen, arena, trails, leading the horse from point A to point B, I don’t see those area’s as being those area’s, I don’t see the horse as being a horse, and I don’t see my self as being a trainer. Those areas are the classroom, the horse is the student and I’m the teacher. Training horses in this manner will give you the partner you have always wanted. If you want a partner have your horse treated and trained like a partner. Feel free to contact Mike Hughes at 916-899-4927.
