Training for Optimal Balance is what I teach. In Training for Optimal Balance I share researched information that explores the root causes of behavior, lameness or performance issues. We change the underlying, internal conditions in order to resolve problems and develop latent talents, in people and horses. Because my focus is just balance, related to nervous system functions and the coordination of any conformation, this type of training applies to all horses and people. At any age, with all those imperfections, we can optimize balance by improving the functional use of the body and mind. Task performance is easy once the internal conditions are right.

Wexford Training Newsletter Vol 2., Issue 09 September 2026 Wexford Training Newsletter Finding Balance from the Inside Out Dear Friends,I wanted to let you know that my father passed away near the end of August. There are things to deal with and I have needed extra time with my mom ever since. I am sharing this because this month I had to dive into some of my archives in order to put together the newsletter.

Wexford Training Newsletter Vol 2., Issue 08 August 2026 Wexford Training Newsletter Finding Balance from the Inside Out Dear Friends, I hope this day finds you well. The newsletter is a little late this month because life got in the way. Helping my aging parents is both a gift and a little stressful.
