My involvement with western training started in my homeland Czech Republic while working on a western competition ranch.
Here I gained my groundings in training quarter horses up to a competiton level as well as re-training problem horses. By working and gentling young horses in the round pen I have learnt how to read their body language and use this later on for further training. I was very lucky to have ridden and learnt from some of the most amazing horses. I also competed one season in barrel racing.

After leaving Czech rep. I have spent several years travelling and working in different yards to broaden my overall knowledge and horsemanship skills. I have spent 13 months in UK with showjumpers and eventers.
Worked in Northern Ireland with brilliant horseman and trainer Phil Holsworth where I was involved in training and riding western horses and I have spent 3 years working with horses in Scotland.

While training horses in Spain with Roy French I have fallen in love with spanish horses.

By using good horsemanship methods which I have learnt over the years has enabled me to produce many horses for western competitions e.g. pleasure and reining as well as good all around horses.
