Frank Bell hails from Larkspur, CO, and is a nationally known
clinician. His enthusiasm for handling horses is probably only
second to his enthusiasm for learning. At the workshops he's
like a mad scientist in a research and development lab, constantly
interacting with the other clinicians and working his magic on
the horses.
Frank's approach is to get positive control of the horse's emotions through touch and handling, from which the rest of the results will flow. Frank uses virtually all of the methods employed by the various workshop clinicians, depending on the needs of each horse. Desensitizing an ear shy horse
