Trey's technique and philosophy in training mirrors that of the "natural horsemanship" style of training widely used today. While many trainers are indeed successful in this style, Trey seems to excel in it. His passion for the horse and rider is so evident from your first meeting with him that you know right away you have chosen the right trainer for your horse. Having worked with other horsemen such as Chris Cox, Jay Holmes, and others, Trey's knowledge and experience are invaluable tools that contribute to the success he has so enjoyed in his relationship with the horse.

Some people train horses because they love them, some people teach because they love students. I do both because I love people and horses. I am not a trainer, I am not a teacher. I am an interpreter between people and horses.
