Arvell Bass - www.arvellbass.com

Arvell Bass of StoneCreek Ranch Resort (www.stonecreekranchresort.com) in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas is a unique horse clinician who has an innate understanding of how horses and people relate to each other. For people wanting to learn more about good horsemanship or how to deal with problem horses, his ability to rise above the rigid, traditional methods of horse training and apply a good-natured, intuitive approach to all of his horse clinics is as fun as it is educational. Some folks might consider Arvell's training techniques as "natural horsemanship," but Arvell has his own distinct style. Arvell's horse training techniques are based on the idea that the sentient nature of the horse gives telltale cues to the people around it. What this means, is that the horses are talking, but often times we don't understand their language! Arvell's talent lies in acting as a sort of "horse interpreter," extracting those cues and defining them in a gracious and practical way to his students. If you're looking for an upbeat, relaxing, and rewarding way to immediately improve your relationship with horses or your own horse's behavior, then call or email Arvell Bass to set up your appointment today.
