"What I have come to call Gentle Horsemanship is actually a set of principles, an ethical code, for interacting with horses. It is based upon commitment to using only non-confrontational and nonviolent techniques, and upon accepting personal responsibility for the comfort and behavior of our horses. Gentle Horsemanship professes that horses effectively mirror our actions, reactions, and behavior and that to change their behavior we must first reshape ours." - Doc Hammill
Doc Hammill's lifetime of working with horses combined with his equine veterinary experience give him a unique perspective on horsemanship. His commitment to gentle but effective techniques and principles, coupled with his depth of knowledge and experience make him an extraordinary instructor.
