Why would you choose to ride with Tony and Jenny Vaught?

Tony and Jenny are committed to developing a harmonious relationship between horse and human.  They reach for excellence in all that they do and teach, and they will help you to "see" what they "see."

How does  your horse see you?
 
The horse you have always dreamed of is inside the horse you already have.

The "pair bond" is the strongest emotional bond between a foal and its mother.  This bond is what keeps the foal at its mother's side, even when crossing raging waters, negotiating deep ravines, or any number of dangerous or "perceived" dangerous situations.  Building a partnership with your horse can relay this same "pair bonding" trust in your horse.  A confident horse needs a confident rider, that is what Tony and Jenny seek to give you - confidence and knowledge.  They will help you build leadership skills that will help your horse see you the same way as it saw its mother. In order for there to be a harmonious relationship the horse must be convinced that a human will not compromise its safety.

Jenny and Tony Vaught studied as Parelli Professionals and are committed to Natural Horsemanship.  They have also ridden with Leon Harrel, World Champion Cutting Horse Trainer, Jack Brainard, legendary trainer, breeder and teacher who produced some of the world's greatest reining horses, and Ted Robinson, multiple winner of the Snaffle Bit Futurity and World's Greatest Horseman Award.

Many times a horse will come home from the trainer who can ride them and get great results - but when the owner climbs aboard, it doesn't seem to be working as well.  The clinics and camps that Tony and Jenny conduct will allow you and your horse to reach new levels of trust and companionship.  Using Principles of Natural Horsemanship, Tony and Jenny can help you reach confidence levels at your and your horse's pace.

There are many one-day clinics and, in addition, Jenny will be conducting camps this year.  You can bring your horse for a day, a week, or a month.  You will experience training with your horse, or lesson horses if you cannot bring your own.  Other activities such as loading the problem horse, liberty work, recognizing unconfident horses, working on long and short gaits are just  a few of the areas that come up during camps and clinics.  Go to For The Horse Ranch  and School of Natural Horsemanship for the schedule.   Trail riding clinics are always a hit.  There are two-day clinics with one day obstacle training, and the following day on the trail at a state park. One-day clinics are also offered with 1/2 day obstacle riding, then off to a state park for an afternoon ride.

Tony and Jennifer Vaught are committed to providing a harmonious relationship between horse and human.   The natural horsemanship philosophy crosses all disciplines of riding from dressage to cow work.  Trail riders benefit by being able to enjoy their ride with a quiet, confident horse. 

Clinics and lessons are conducted throughout the year at the Pine Dell Facility in Pleasant Hill.   Tony and Jenny are also available to conduct  clinics in your area.  They have traveled as far as Hawaii by invitation to conduct colt starting and foundation riding clinics.  Contact 
Jenny Vaught  for open dates and details.  Tony will conduct Colt Starting and Young Horse Development Clinics throughout the year.  The owner and horse are involved in all clinics, but you can also attend as an auditor.
