Interested
in getting a detailed look at how we train? Be sure to visit Cheveyo's page -- the completely wild mustang
who, in 30 days, was riding, indoors and out, and doing pretty much
everything else we ask of him, all without force, without fear.
You might also enjoy the YouTube video
of young Pepper -- riding bareback and
bridleless during his FIRST WEEK of riding training! Many other
training videos also on our youtube page. |

HISTORY:
AnnMarie Cross, CWER
president, was taught to train show jumpers under a nationally
recognized trainer in the '80s, and has been training clients' horses
on and off ever since.
AnnMarie has taught Mike,
Tory and Gerry Cross all to train horses in the same gentling "no
resistance" style, and Mike has self-studied extensively on the many
natural horsemanship trainers to help expand and round out AnnMarie's
instruction. Even moreso, Mike has learned from the ultimate instructor
-- his clydesdale Tessa. He has truly learned natural horsemanship for
the master...a benevolent alpha leader horse.
The Cross family trainers
focus on rehabilitation and retraining for CWER's horses every day. Let
those years of experience help you to help your horse, whether there
are bad behaviors, training problems, or simply starting or teaching
him something new!
Since Mike Cross is a
professional farrier, hoof care is a key focus for our trainees, and
you'll be pleasantly surprised with the hoof care skills your horse
will learn in our care, GENTLY and without force or fear!
Training projects have
ranged from riding training for a 17+ hand Belgian to ground/in-hand
show training for a 2 year old registered Fresian mare who placed first
at her debut Keuring (Fresian ranking show).
