"In April of 2008, I bought a young, neglected and untrained Belgian Draft horse with the purpose of trail-riding and western pleasure... I began to see that my horse would act aggressively only when treated aggressively, and I began to search for alternative solutions. My search led me to Martingale Equine Solutions and put me in contact with trainers John von Haas and Gabriel Elihue Denison.
Their “Gentle Horse Method” helped me to really change my relationship with my horse... John and Gabriel provided extensive knowledge relating to the intricacies of rehabilitating an abused and neglected animal.
Martingale Equine Solutions has provided me with an excellent foundation in horsemanship. Their assistance gave me with the skills to find a trainer who shares my philosophy and works kindly and fairly with my horse. John and Gabriel were not only interested in the business end of our relationship; they truly took a personal interest in both me and my horse. They were some of the kindest, most compassionate people I've ever met, and those qualities shined through in their work. I would highly recommend these two trainers to anyone who wants to create a trusting and loving relationship with a horse. I am truly grateful to have found them! " - Jennifer Jones, MI 2008
