"Your methods do a great job of teaching the horse to problem solve and think for themselves instead of simply reacting to things. Your teaching has greatly benefited my work with my horse. He has become such a
confident and calm horse"

Here are just a few comments from attendees of Ed's Clinics
"Very knowledgeable horseman. Fantastic instruction, spot on, starting with the basics that riders at any level need to have mastered. My class was everything I had been looking for in quality instruction from a horseman with a broad range of experiences and understanding. Kudos. "
-Lori

"What an amazing clinic with Ed Dabney - I've been to a lot of them with different clinicians through the years and this one definitely topped them all - I will definitely have him back next year. Thanks so much Ed for a super weekend and all you taught us. "
-Joanne, South Carolina

"I've been to several other clinics, even week long clinics and have not learned as much as I did this weekend. Your patience(unbelievable) and your clear way of explaining everything brought me to a better relationship with my horse which is concisely what I was seeking! Thanks again!!" -Tracy Whiddon, Georgia

"I just want to be sure to thank you for all your hard work and individual attention at the clinic. Obviously, it was the first time Tuff and I had ever done anything like this and it certainly was an eye-opener for me. You gave us some techniques that I can apply immediately in order to build a relationship with her and to education both of us!

I have to tell you that the clinic was probably the most informative and productive thing I have ever done with one of my horses. Now, I look forward to learning more." -Sue Kerr

"I want to say I thoroughly enjoyed the clinic and that you are an excellent teacher. I learned a tremendous amount over the weekend and am a testament that you CAN 'teach an old dog new tricks'. I am looking forward to participating in your 'upcoming' advanced riding clinic!" - Dick Hussey

"Ed, Your video is AWESOME. What I think I like about it most, among many other things is: you get it, Ed. Totally. All that Natural Horsemanship is and was meant to be. I see so few who really get it. I can count on two hands the rest who truly get it. And you do. Not just in talk, but in action. And you articulate it so well. In just the right detail" - Sylvia Scott

"Hi Ed, Rick and I so enjoyed the clinic. You were so helpful and we learned so much. I just can't believe how much we learned in 2 days! Your communication and teaching skills are excellent and so easy to understand and learn from. We could not have asked for a better experience for our first clinic. We will be back for more!!

The thing we appreciated most of all is your love of the Lord!

Can't Wait Till Next Time! Thank You! " - Rick & Rene Compton, Columbus, NC

"I can't begin to tell you of the improvements in my confidence, riding, relationship with my horse and other's horses, that those few days of training at Highland Ranch with you, has done for me. The new bridle we bought from you has been great and my horse Kahlua responds so much better with it. Jeannie's horse Baylea has responded much better as well and watching the Six Keys video has been a good reinforcement of what we learned. Thanks so much for being such a great and positive influence." - Wayne & Jeannie Coe, California
