Larry's training is focused on establishing a solid foundation of the basics. Then, gradually building on that foundation to produce a finished, well-trained horse. Call Larry to set up an "evaluation" appointment for your horse. It’s only $50.
Instruction that is absolutely second to none.
Larry’s lesson program is the best to be found. His unique way of teaching has produced too many successful riders to count. Larry’s students have gone on to win year-end championships, class championships, championship saddles and buckles and "most improved rider" awards.
(For the last three years in a row, Larry's students have won the hi-point Championship Saddle for their local association! And it was with a different student each year.)
As a student, you will receive crystal clear instruction that is easy to understand and fits your level of experience. Beginners, as well as advanced riders, are welcome. Call 707-480-0507 to make a "lesson" appointment.
Please feel free to call me if you're interested in having your horse trained or shown. I'll be happy to discuss with you my training and showing program.

@rafael cisneros: Hi Rafael. I'd be happy to start your colt. It's easy to send the colt to me from Texas. I recommend D2 Horse Transport. They are very reliable and the lowest hauling fee.

Hi Larry, I have watched allot of your videos and would love for you to start and train my colt. I have a 1 year old sorrel colt that I got out of my mare and would be interested in sending him to you to get broke and trained on cattle once he is two years old. His mom is very special, a grandaughter of Freckles Playboy, and his dad is a son of Smart little Pistol. What type of training do you recomend? I do team penning, team sorting and trail riding but I would like to keep him as a stud, but a calm stud…. I know from experience that a strong foundation in cutting makes it very easy to move to sorting. Will it be too much of a long trip to haul him to California? I am in Brownsville Tx. Look forward to hearing from you… Regards, Rafael Cisneros 956-4667011 cell

Hello Larry,
I was wondering if you could help me find a trainer in my area. I have tons of your videos and just love your teaching style because it makes it so easy to learn. I have a quarter horse that is 7 and needs to be finished. I'm not looking to cut or rein. I'm looking for my horse to be more responsive and collected and with four kids I can't find the consistent time he needs to make him that way. I would love to have him trained to the point that my daughter could do some western pleasure classes with him. Do you know of anyone in Maryland who maybe be close to Frederick or the D.C. area that you would recommend who could help me? Unfortunately, you are too far away from me and I'm not even sure you would do this type of training. I would really appreciate your advice and help.
Thank you and I look forward to your response.
Diane

@Kimberly Rainwater: Hi Kimberly. Yes, one month tune-up dry is $750. If you'd like your horse worked on cattle it's a little bit more.

Hi Larry,
Just wondering when you're going to do another clinic? I would love to attend! I have a four year old QH out of some great lines and I would love to learn all I can before she is fully trained! Thanks and I hope to hear from you
