Our Philosophy
"If you want a calm horse, stay calm. If you want a patient horse be patient." This is the philosophy of our growing company, 'Horses That Work' and is put forth into everyday motion with every horse and mule worked with, whether we are training, out riding range or in the arena. This company has trained horses from across Western Canada, and the U.S. We have an approach to training methods that have proven themselves time and time again. Our forte is in starting horses under saddle and creating a calm mindset about them, that ensures a lighter, more responsive horse that you can trust.
Natural & Foundational Horsemanship
Many people in the horse world today think Natural Horsemanship is a new concept in horse training, when in fact this technique has been around for centuries.
The roots of Natural Horsemanship is based on the simple key components of communication between humans and horses. These skills were used in the oldest forms of horse training that there is. Here at Horses That Work we use the method of Natural Horsemanship learned from the Mountain Men in the 1700's and 1800's. These men took a form of horse training from the First Nations Peoples, in which taught respect for the animal and patience in the pursuit of training.
What We Do
Some words of wisdom
"Notice the slightest change, and reward the slightest of tries." Tom Mowery

Clinics — Take part in one of Trevor's clinics and learn some new ways to approach horse training all while building a better connection with your horse. Remember what Trevor says at every clinic, "the more I learn, the more I learn that the less I know". For this reason, Trevor goes and continues learning from other great horsemans such as Tom Mowery and Martin Black as well as others of that caliber.
-
Training — Foundational Horsemanship from start to finish. Building a connection through everything we do to create a better team player as well as a willing horse for that sought after partership.
-
Stallion — We're very proud of our stallion here at Horses That Work. His registered AQHA name is SQH Blu Boys Diamond and his barn name is Drifter. Being the grand son of Playgun is only the beggining of the amazing horses on his papers that prove his mind, stamina, power and speed in everythig we do. He's put Trevor in the winning circle of Extreme Cowboy Racing many times and has proven to be one of the best ranch horses that a cowboy could ever want to ride at the same time. His quiet demeanor has allowed others for years at shows and on the ranch not even realize that he is a stallion.
"Be Calm and you'll have a calm horse..."
Trevor has proved this theory time and time again...
