At Black Clover Ranch, Jason's training philosophy is rooted in compassion, clear communication, and fostering a strong bond between horse and rider. With over 20 years of experience with horses, Jason has honed his skills across multiple disciplines, including English fox hunting, hunter jumper, ranch horse, obstacles, and performance events such as speed events. While his expertise is vast, Jason focuses primarily on Western riding. His unique approach is designed to develop well-rounded horses that excel in various disciplines, from speed events to cattle work and trail riding. Here's what sets Jason's training apart:

Compassionate Training
Jason believes in understanding each horse as an individual. He tailors his methods to suit their personality, temperament, and natural abilities. This ensures that every horse feels confident and comfortable throughout the training process

Clear Communication
Effective training begins with clear, consistent cues. Jason emphasizes the importance of building trust and mutual understanding between horse and handler. His techniques focus on helping horses respond willingly and positively, creating a partnership rather than a power struggle.

Building Versatility
Jason is passionate about developing all-around horses. Whether you're looking to compete in speed events, work cattle, or enjoy a quiet trail ride, his training ensures your horse is prepared for any task. By exposing horses to a variety of scenarios, they become adaptable, confident, and reliable.

Focus on Foundation
A strong foundation is key to a horse's success. Jason spends ample time on groundwork, teaching respect, and building a horse's confidence from the ground up. This foundation paves the way for advanced training and helps prevent bad habits or misunderstandings later.

Ongoing Support
Training doesn't stop once the horse leaves the ranch. Jason is committed to providing guidance and answering questions to ensure the training continues smoothly at home. Whether it's advice on transitioning to new disciplines or tips for improving communication, he's always here to help.

Join the Journey
When you bring your horse to Black Clover Ranch, you're not just getting a trainer—you're gaining a partner in your horse's development. Jason's dedication and expertise make the journey rewarding for both horse and rider.
