ABOUT
HHC
Horse Helpers & Consultants,
(HHC), was founded at the beginning of 2004. The mission of HHC is offering
horse owners help with understanding, building a communication channel,
and establishing a quality relationship with their horses.
All HHC training methods are based on Natural Horsemanship theories.
Components from multiple Master Horsemen that Mike has studied are incorporated
into each custom program designed to meet the needs of the horse and
the goals of the owner.
HHC believes that learning about horses is a journey, not a destination,
so Mike is continuously studying literature, attending clinics, and
most importantly, listening to and learning from the horse itself. Mike
has studied with Ray Hunt, Buck Brannaman, Tom Curtin, Pat and Linda
Parelli. In addition he has studied higher level performance with Aaron
England, Craig Johnson, Troy Rogers, Lance Harrell, and Leon Harrell.
From his continual learning and improving of skills, Mike can pass on
more comprehensive help from foal to foundation and from beginner to
advanced.
HHC and Mike have become endorsed in Colt Starting by Aaron England
of England’s Versatile Horsemanship (EVH). Mike is working on
expanding the endorsement into performance horsemanship. EVH is focused
on partnering a natural horsemanship foundation with the finesse principles
required in creating a competitive performance horse.
