What is so great about FT? Please let me try to explain in my own words. Foundation Training is a way to communicate with your horse on both his level and on yours simultaneously. It is a way to bridge the gap that so many people have with horses, without using any abusive or restricting […]

CB, you said something this morning on the phone that has me thinking. I told you that I had such a good ride and was feeling so confident that I was planning on riding her early this afternoon with no need for “liquid courage.” You responded by saying something to the effect of “Well it […]
GJ @ Delta Society
When our horses were tested recently by a certified professional evaluator from Delta Society, the following unsolicited commentary was added to our evaluation documents. I had never met the evaluator before and only discussed the appointment date and directions as to how to get to our address on the phone. This morning I did an […]

Wow, what a coincidence! I have been looking for information about starting to do CTR and when I found this list, I saw a name I know. First, a brief bio. I have been a horse owner for 30 years, and been training my horses for 30 years. My horses taught me what I know, […]

One of the special things about the Friendship Training Programme that Chuck offers, is that […]

I owned a pony, Minnie, as a kid; there wasn’t much she couldn’t do and we shared so many amazing experiences from winning championship ribbons, to chasing kangaroos through the bush, to just lying together in the paddock talking to one another. Sadly we moved to the city…. Now some 40 years later I end […]

Friendship Training builds mutual trust between horse and human, removing fear and stress in both. Charles is an excellent mentor, giving thoughtful and […]

The Friendship Training Program Chuck has developed has made an enormous improvement to my own confidence and my relationship with my horse. I have been very impressed by how quickly he answers questions, and how encouraging, supportive and caring he is about both the horse and the human. I cannot recommend him or FT highly […]
