Hi Dennis, Michelle, and Emmy;
I just wanted to write you a quick note telling you what a great job you did on Jessie! Her response time to the queues I am giving her are great! When I queue her to do something, her response is immediate! She doesn’t pussyfoot around trying to decide herself is that is truly what she wants to do! If I ask her to move a different direction, her response is immediate! What you did with her is tremendous! She was a very good mare before I sent her to you, now she is a totally awesome mare! I can’t believe you had her actually cutting cattle also. When I was riding her, she was actually doing some of the moves herself without me telling her what to do.
Not only did you train her, but you also gave me lessons on what I should be doing and how I should be doing it. On both Saturday and Sunday, you gave me lessons on how I should be riding her versus what I shouldn’t do. You never once talked down to me or at me, you always made me feel that any question I had was very important! Instead of only getting a couple hours of lessons, you let me work both on Saturday and Sunday and I appreciate it very much! I understand that training horses is your job, but you make it very personable for both the horse and the customer. I felt you truly wanted to make me a better horseperson along with making my horse a better horse! I was always made to feel I was welcome whether it was 10:00 in the morning or 6:00 in the evening!
When we were in the chicken barn and you were working on other horses, Michelle was giving me tips on how to come out of the corner to chase the cattle for roping! Even when I didn’t quite know what she was talking about, she tried explaining the directions in a different way. She never made me feel like I had absolutely no clue as to what I was doing. (Even though, I didn’t know what I was doing) She is very nice!
I would definitely recommend anybody that needs training for their horse to send it to you!

Attended my first Dennis Auslam clinic last weekend (3/29/08) at his Redwood Stables and barely got back home before signing up for another clinic of his in May!!! Whether you are an experienced rider or a first-time horse owner Dennis has something to offer and I believe EVERYONE should bring their horse to his "Desensitizing and Confidence Building" clinic...trust me your horse will thank you for it and you will be amazed with the results you see. I was impressed with the individual attention Dennis and his "crew" gave each and every attendee. I look forward to future clinics/lessons and participating in his future extreme trail and ranch horse competitions!!! Thanks Dennis, Michelle and all your "hands"!

I took a clinic with Dennis this past weekend (3/29/08) and it was amazing. He is a wealth of information and all his staff is just as knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone at any level of riding, his patience is amazing. He really opened my eyes to how much there is to learn. I've worked with trainers that you can tell are just filling your head with a bunch of junk. Dennis knows what he is talking about, and he is very good at explaining it. Thank you Dennis, Michelle, Blayne, Addie and all others!!
