Authentic Trust Based Horse Training & Clinics.

Benjamin Longwell is the real thing. Ben grew up riding horses and working cattle, following in four and five generations of both sides of his family on the Western Slope of Colorado. After school, he spent much of his time doing day work for ranches & outfits in the area, learning from the skills and experience of the ranchers. He also spent a year working as assistant trainer at Eagleview Quarter Horses in Loma, CO and learning the basics of colt starting and authentic horsemanship.

Having spent much of the last six years in the colt starting & horse training business, which included a stint at a 300,000 acre outfit in Wyoming, he also has been involved in conducting horsemanship clinics and demonstrations. Ben also has worked with some of the great quality trainers in the West, adding to his natural gifting and lifetime of practical equine experience. Ben is influenced from the methods of such horseman as Tom & Bill Dorrance, Ray Hunt, Richard Caldwell and others.

Ben and his wife Natalie, a local Kiwi, have been living in America for the last 3 years, and decided to take the opportunity to build a training and clinic business here in New Zealand, just north of Auckland, working with interested parties and equine groups to provide quality Horsemanship.

We provide horse training, which includes colt starting, working with problem horses, desensitization, and more. Clinics are available to suit different skills, interests and areas including Horsemanship, correlation of leadership and management principles, effective communication skills, western riding techniques and more.
