Franklin travels internationally and around the US training horses and teaching his gentle, yet highly effective techniques of equine training and communication. He teaches at hunter/jumper farms (English disciplines), ranches that specialize in western styles of riding and training and equine rescue centers. Franklin’s focus is not a style of horsemanship, but rather a true understanding of the horse itself. Whether the participants are wearing breaches and high English boots or jeans and cowboy hats, the message of instilling feelings of peace and safety for and with the horse is the same.
It is Franklin's intention that you acquire the dvd that best suits your goals and desires. Some are better aimed toward beginners, while others will suit the more advanced horseperson. To that end Franklin has included his personal comments (listed in the right hand column in green) to help in your selection process. If you have a question please email Franklin directly and he will be happy to respond.

"My Training Thru Trust dvd is absolutely perfect for 'entry level' horse people or persons just getting into horses. It is also terrific for families with children who are becoming involved with horses. The first half contains demonstration and instruction in basic horse handling techniques. The second half is devoted to Equine Facilitated Learning. Again, for families with children becoming involved with horses this dvd is exceptional.
