Had an awesome experience last weekend at a Clinic in Va.
Ivy was able to show each of us what our horse needed. And now have new tools to get my boy gaiting.
Would highly recommend her. Not just for learning to gait, but to communicate with your horse in general.

I have been working with my 7 year old gelding trying for the last 4 yrs to get him to relax and gait. I met you at the Midwest Horse Fair. After watching some of your U tube videos I went out and rode like you’d explained. In 2 days he has slowed down, relaxed… Continue reading I got a calmer horse in 2 days!

Hi Ivy, I wrote to you a while ago about my rescue RMH that was pacing. I am proud to report that he is now happily gaiting thanks to your videos and instructions. It took a while but it worked!!

My daughter and I love your website Her horse is a 15 year old Spotted saddle horse and he is ALL pace. Your site makes soo much more sense to us than others.

I am very impressed with Ivy’s information that is available at her website to help us all with our horses…particularly the gaited horses as I am a new owner of a TWH mare that is step pacing instead of doing a running walk. From her videos, I could easily see and hear the difference in… Continue reading Ivy’s methods really helped a new horse owner

Your communication style with people and with horses is just lovely! I’m a relatively new rider and I’m a new owner. I got my first horse almost two years ago. I was beginning to feel quite discouraged before finding your videos. I’ve taken your lessons to heart and have been doing groundwork with my Tennessee… Continue reading Susan

I got my first gaited horse a year and a half ago- a young Rocky. He didn’t know how to gait that perfect 4 beat gait, and I didn’t know how to train him. I took one of Ivy’s 3 day clinics and by the third day he was gaiting. Now he gaits like a… Continue reading Angie
