Combining Training and Music To Find Horses Natural Rhythm
Combining Training and Music To Find Horses Natural Rhythm
About Gareth
– Gareth is a Natural Horsemanship instructor and trainer from South Africa. He has been around horses for most of his life..barring a few years of madness where he thought a corporate life might suit him.
Gareth was also once a professional musician, and he still considers himself a musician.. just no longer a professional.
In 2011 he was given the task by the Appaloosa Horse Breeders Society of South Africa of bringing in someone to help improve the level of horsemanship at the national show. Gareth is often teased that he found the pretty blonde… but he swears that wasn’t the motivating factor for bringing Jamie out. It was this fascinating depth of knowledge. He had always known there had to be something more, but hearing someone speak on how much more was amazing.
Yes, Jamie and Gareth are now married, but we are also partners with vision for changing the world on horse at a time.
