Why would you choose to ride with Tony
and Jennifer Vaught?
Tony and Jennifer are committed to developing
a harmonious relationship between horse and human. They
reach for excellence in all that they do and teach,
and they will help you to "see" what they "see."
The horse
you have always dreamed of is inside the horse you already
have.
How does your
horse see you?
The "pair bond" is the strongest emotional bond between
a foal and its mother. This bond is what keeps the foal
at its mother's side, even when crossing raging waters,
negotiating deep ravines, or any number of dangerous
or "perceived" dangerous situations. Building a partnership
with your horse can relay this same "pair bonding" trust
in your horse. A confident horse needs a confident rider,
that is what Tony and Jenny seek to give you - confidence
and knowledge. They will help you build
leadership
skills that will help your horse see you the same way
as it saw its mother. In order for there to be a harmonious
relationship the horse must be convinced that a human
will not compromise its safety.
Jenny and
Tony Vaught studied as Parelli Professionals and are
committed to Natural Horsemanship. They have also ridden
with Leon Harrel, World Champion Cutting Horse
Trainer, Jack Brainard, legendary trainer,
breeder and teacher who produced some of the world's
greatest reining horses, Ted Robinson, multiple
winner of the Snaffle Bit Futurity and World's Greatest
Horseman Award, and Ronnie Willis, one of Pat
Parelli's mentors.

Many times a horse will come home from the trainer
who can ride them and get great results - but when the
owner climbs aboard, it doesn't seem to be working as
well. The clinics and camps that Tony and Jennifer conduct
will allow you and your horse to reach new levels of
trust and companionship. Using Principles of Natural
Horsemanship, Tony and Jennifer can help you reach confidence
levels at your and your horse's pace.
There are many one-day
clinics and, in addition, Jennifer and Tony will are
conducting Horsemanship Camps this summer and fall.
You can bring your horse for a day, a week, or a month.
You will experience training with your horse, or lesson
horses if you cannot bring your own. Other activities
such as loading the problem horse, liberty work, and
Trail riding clinics are always a hit. There are two-day
clinics with one day obstacle training, and the following
day on the trail . One-day clinics are also offered
with 1/2 day obstacle riding, then off to an afternoon
ride.
Tony and Jennifer
Vaught are committed to providing a harmonious relationship
between horse and human. The natural horsemanship philosophy
crosses all disciplines of riding from dressage to cow
work. Trail riders benefit by being able to enjoy their
ride with a quiet, confident horse.
Clinics
and lessons are conducted throughout the year. Some
half day clinics are at the Show Time Equstrian Center
in Lee's Summit, MO, and two-day or more clinics are
held at

and touching story after Tony's last clinic in Arkansas.
She writes for The Morning News and the title
of the article is "A Little Thing Called Confidence."
The article tells of a woman and her horse regaining
trust and confidence after a vehicle/horse accident..
You can find it in the archives of the paper.
Both Tony
and Jenny have traveled as far as Hawaii by invitation

"foal imprinting." See pictures below.
