What Past Clients Have to Say
From
Jenny in Alpena, Michigan:
I would like to recommend
Jeff Thomas as a horse trainer. I
have
used his services on more than one occasion, for horse training and as
an
exercise rider for my horses. Jeff is compassionate, dedicated, and a
hard worker.
My paint
horse, Jellybean,
was a handful. She
was raised on our
farm and brought up more like a puppy than a horse.
She didn’t respect my personal space and
loved to turn her behind to me so she could get a scratch. She also needed to be
started under
saddle. After
training I was able to
walk, trot, and canter under saddle. Jeff also provided lessons on her
for me
during his training period. Jellybean
now is a great trail horse that will walk over logs and across water. She is respectful of my
space and she and I
have an improved relationship thanks to Jeff!
Jeff has
also been an
exercise rider for my horses. I
previously owned a Lipizzaner mare named Cyrilla who scared everyone
with her
biting and kicking habits. Jeff
worked
her on my farm, riding her once a week, because I was unable to provide
enough
riding time to keep her up on her training. Cyrilla was dressage
trained and
Jeff not only worked with her riding skills but her behavior on the
ground
also. With Jeff’s
help I was able to sell
Cyrilla to an owner in the Yukon.
I would
use Jeff as a horse
trainer again and would recommend him to anyone.
From
Kurt in Cedarville, Michigan:
I had the privilege of
meeting Jeff Thomas after he had posted an advertisement for his
services, in
horse training, on a local bulletin board.
I had a four year old horse I was working with but had
very little time
to finish. Jeff
took the challenge with
great confidence.
I
found Jeff to be very
professional with both client and horse in holding to his contract. He put the hours needed
into the job and got
it done. He did a
tremendous job with the
ground work and the finishing of my horse.
He kept me informed of the progress regularly and was
always available
to discuss and issues. He
encouraged
client-on-site observation as well.
Jeff
exhibits experience beyond his years.
I will certainly consider
Jeff for any work needed with my horses and recommend him to anyone
considering
the “natural horsemanship technique” way of training.
Great Job!
From Theresa in Sault
Ste. Marie, Michigan:
The best thing about Jeff
Thomas is his calm demeanor. He
knows
when to stop on a good moment and when to push through stubbornness. He allows owners to
observe and willingly discusses
different techniques. He
asks and then
tells a horse what is acceptable behavior coaxing out the most willing
of
responses. He does
not push for a quick
fix but gets life long results. Jeff
seems to vary his technique to match both the horse and the owner.
