Beyond a Whisper

Ryan has developed his training program, Connective Horsemanship?, using a marriage of science and tradition. He develops a simple language for the rider and the horse, this language and his methods lead to a "deletion" of incorrect or so-called "bad" behaviour. Connective Horsemanship crosses all disciplines.

Using an easy to understand commonsense approach Ryan provided straightforward instructions on rehabilitating and retraining horses with behaviour such as bucking, rearing, bolting, kicking, and refusing to load. Through experience and study with some of the biggest names in equine and animal behavioural research, Ryan has "delete" his "bad" behaviour and replace it with a desirable one.

Ryan believes that all "bad" behaviour is directly related to a poor Go response, or an insufficient Stop response. Through appropriate training you'll learn to "meet your horse in the middle" of the language barrier and reaffirm, Go, Stop, and the other Basic Controls: turning left and right, backing up, and standing still. You'll use The Station Game to gradually build upon what your horse already knows in order to achieve success in new and challenging areas. And you'll get specific retraining tips for the most common behavioural problems Ryan sees in his clinics and on his well-known show on RFD-TV.
