The KO Process

As a trainer, Kevin has come in contact with his fair share of different horse breeds from AQHA, APHA, POA and Appaloosa. Kevin is confident in training but before taking on any client, he likes to meet with them first and try and understand what they are wanting to accomplish by using Kevin as a trainer. Where do they think they need some help; whether it be the horses behaviors or techniques the rider is trying to change. After that, Kevin just likes to observe the horse and rider combination without any input to see how the team is working as a pair. Seeing if the rider tips on how to better their seat, hands, horses collection, ect. Then he gets into it; into the areas that need working and problem solving together. The great thing about Kevin is that he likes to know if the rider can tell the differences in a correct moving horse and not so correct. It’s about building confidence in the rider and developing a relationship with both the horse, the family and the rider.
