Robert has three distinct groups of talents & skills in the fields of horses, construction and writing. The following are short descriptions for each field. For further information, please call or write to us, click here for contact information.

Equine Expertise:

Equine Evaluation

A service of two facets: the one - purchase & breeding evaluation, and the second - evaluating the level of training and potential of a horse.

In both, Robert takes close look at the owner's / rider's requirements and the benefits they seek.

Equine Training

The Cornerstone Approach is an holistic approach to the foundational training of horses of all breeds and disciplines. It is ideally suited for the needs of the so called Problematic Horse.

Its all about us developing a completely new level of awareness, regarding the whole horse on its mental, physical, emotional and spiritual levels of being.

It is about understanding the horse's abilities, issues & concerns, likes & dislikes, strengths & weaknesses.

Trying to completely understand each horse for what and who they are as individuals, by learning how to enter his world, and then agreeing to respect that and build a relationship around it.

Its about working within these value-driven guidelines, to learn to motivate and provide the horse with better and more positive learning opportunities. In doing so, you take on the role of a teacher, and it is so interesting to witness the cross over point during this journey, in which we have opportunities to learn so much about ourselves.
