A Repetition Built on Results

"I am learning so much about a horse that I never knew, just thought you got on and rode. The horse is truly amazing partner when you understand them. Thank you." - M.N.

I first discovered you through Youtube and you quickly became one of my more favorite horsemanship mentors to watch. I really appreciate the effort you put forth to explain in depth the context of what you are demonstrating. A.U.

"I've had a couple of horses trained by Dennis Cappel. He combines his knowledge, his experience, his desire to continue learning and solving issues with his great work ethic to give you and your horse the best possible training to achieve the best results." - D.H.

Clear Mental Picture Philosophy

At the core of Dennis' teaching is the use of what he calls a "Clear Mental Picture."

Before you ever ask your horse to do anything, you must know exactly what that is. This picture you hold in your mind gives you, your "timing" to what to do next depending on your horse's response. From here you will start to develop feel.
