Kent Williamson

Kent has ridden as multiple youth quarter horse champion, cowboy, professional polo player/trainer, western horse competitor, teamster and equine teacher/clinician. Horses have always been included in every part of his family business. Kent is becoming internationally known for his break-through techniques and true understanding of horse behaviour. Kent suggests that, “the original product of great horsemanship included finishing a horse from solid ground-work, like the Spanish riding school, this was the classical approach. Now, credible foundation training and quality time is often overlooked. It is substituted for artificial and ineffective techniques resulting in varied results or it is based on trial and error rather than creating a responsive horse.” Kent claims that, “it is the start that stops many horses true potential; performance and/or the style of riding is derived in a horse before it can function with the pressure a rider presents it with. A foundation is the missing link to riding a truly functional horse that is expected to perform successfully in our world.” Kent stresses that, “back-to-basics with a credible means to an end produces desirable experiences between horse and rider. This produces a clear intention from the riders and responsive behaviour in horses!”
