The Confidence Lesson


Janet and Berry at the Devan Technical Institute in Wilmont, Ohio 1980

From the trainer

In 1980, shortly after graduating from high school, I enrolled in Devon Technical Institute, a horse management school in Ohio. I took pre-veterinary care, nutrition, and equine genetics classes and further developed my horse training skills. I trained a horse who had a rope attached to his halter just so he could be caught in his stall, using gentle techniques that are very popular today (pictured above). I managed a large thoroughbred race horse farm and in addition, spent a couple of years working on the track galloping and ponying thoroughbred race horses. While I continued to own and train horses, I entered college in 1984. I have an Associates degree in Applied Science. I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician. Between 1985 and 1995 I worked in small animal practice. I accepted a position in laboratory animal care at the University of Michigan in January 1996. In October 1996 I was hired as the Cancer Center's Animal Core Training Technician. I became certified as a Laboratory Animal Technologist in 1999. I trained laboratory animal personnel from 1996 through 2001 in rodent handling, blood collection, injection, breeding colony management, and surgical techniques. I'm currently a Research Technician and Coordinator for the Center for Integrative Genomics where I continue to train investigators on rodent handling techniques and phenotyping procedures.

 

 

 

My riding experience is comprised of over 35 years of lessons, owning, and training horses of many breeds and disciplines (see resume). I have studied the methods of many trainers along the way (especially in the last few years with the advantage of having Dish Network and RFD-TV). I have a large collection of DVD's, books and attended many training clinics.

I practice a variety of training techniques such as those used by:

Linda Tellington-Jones

Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling Steve Edwards (Mule trainer) Monty Roberts

Clinton Anderson

Gawani Pony Boy Pat Parelli Dennis Reis John Lyons
