 Hi there – I was grooming Coal tonight and thinking about how much we owe you and I wrote a little testimonial – you know I could go on forever but this is it in a nutshell!
Coal was 4 when I adopted him, a wonderful black PMU rescue – I probably had no business adopting a young horse as I was an intermediate rider on a good day. My original trainer moved to Australia and Coal and I were left on our own – we were working with another trainer who had labeled Coal lazy and disrespectful and used a stud chain on him. After one particularly bad training session, Coal and I were walking home – I was crying and had decided that I could not give him the home and skill that he needed, I felt my only option was to sell this beautiful horse. Steve stopped me on the street and said: “I’ve been watching your lessons – you have a great horse there and I would love to help you.”
That was a year ago and Coalie and I have made great strides. Coal has blossomed under Steve’s gentle and fair tutelage – he is soft as butter and so willing and kind. As for me, I have overcome much of the fear and negativity I held so close and am a much more confident and knowledgeable rider.
Coal and I are FOREVER in debt to Steve for making our dreams come true – we are well on our way to being true partners in our riding life and we have Steve to thank for that.
With gratitude,

"I originally found Steve on the Internet, his “Energy work” with horses sounded exactly like what we needed. I have a 7 year old Morgan with a biting problem. Because he had recently bit a neighbor we were afraid we might have to find him a new home. Steve came out to our home and evaluated “Remy”. The evaluation was amazing; he worked my horse at liberty using body language to get Remy to do what he was asking. Steve’s conclusion was my horse was not a rogue horse we needed to sell, he was just never taught proper boundaries. My husband and I needed to learn the horse’s language then teach Remy how to behave properly and with respect. We have learned so much about our horse’s personalities and understand their behaviors and motivations at a much deeper level, thanks to Steve’s weekly training lessons. My husband and I are on our way to true horsemanship. Remy does not bite anymore at all and is quite the gentleman."

"We are so grateful for your friendship and to be able to receive the benefits of your amazing gift with horses. You have taught me so much over the years and Della has become such an awesome horse under your tutelage. I know Ozzie will be too! You make all of our lives better by helping us to fulfill our dreams!! Thank You So Much!

"Working with Steve Boyles has opened up an entirely new world for us in effectively communicating with our horses. His concept of energy work is amazing to see in action, but unbelievable when you begin to do it yourself, and find that your horses respond to it.
Steve’s patience, guidance and teaching methods are unique, as he guides one into communicating with the horse at a level that one felt was previously unattainable. Learning the language of the horse through Steve’s teachings has been an unforgettable ride, as Steve’s understanding and depth of the horse language is nothing short of masterful. Our horses think so too!"
