Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast: A good foundation for horses with Dr. Shelley Appleton

 

"Domesticated Horses Are Still Wild Horses At Heart!”

 

Dr. Shelley Appleton has a doctorate in human learning and combines this with an extensive knowledge of working with horses.

 

She is a highly skilled horse trainer who can help you solve your frustrations with your horse.

 

Shelley combines understanding of humans and a lifetime of exposure with horses to provide effective and encouraging coaching to help both horse and rider become more skilled, competent and confident.

 

Shelley can help remove the frustration and fear out of owning and riding horses and increase your enjoyment. She teaches riders how to support their horse to be calm, willing and confident.
