Mike runs the prison horse training program at the Warm Springs Correctional
Facility near Carson City, NV. Mike and his program are both known for
creative and quiet approaches to working with wild horses and he turns out
some mighty good animals.
Mike has taught in our weekend programs, but this was his first appearance at our week-long workshop. We expect him to be a regular. |

As for Vincent the wild horse... The image on the right was
taken on Day 4 of the workshop; a couple of young participants
showing off their mane braiding skills.
The horse seems pretty comfortable with it all. |
