Training
Every horse is different and I treat each horse as a individual and I listen to each and every horse. I make the training fun for the
horse and each lesson depends on what the horse needs and can do. The safely and the mind each horse is number one in the
training a horse.  The Spirit of the horse is still intact and he still has his mind to be his own self.  

Horses that are in training with me is handled exclusively by me with an exception of situations that require a helper. Each horse
receive 2 - training lessons twice a day and 5 days a week. The length of each lessons depends on each horse and it can vary.

Every horse I have in training is treated like one of ours with lots of love and a ton of TLC.  I let every horse tell me when he or she
is ready to on to the next step in his training and I
NEVER rush the horse in his/her training just because the owner only wants to
pay for 2months or 3months of training.  I am a firm but a very gentle trainer and I always reward for the slightly try from the horse.
After every lesson they always get a treat after a lesson and the treats can be a few pieces of carrots, apples, slice of a whole
wheat bread and these are same treats we give to our own horses.

N. A Horse Spectacular
our  Icelandic horses in a demo in 05
After owning and riding a QH that with a difficult
temperament, and a couple of falls I decided to sell the
horse . Still afriaid to  - but still with the urge, I decided it
was time to ride an icelandic horse again knowing them
After a couple of rides, I call Birta my Psykaritrist.  My fear
is still there, but almost gone.  Anne has a small farm
without an arena, so all the riding is outdoors (which is
what I prefer). The horses are loved and well taken of.
Having ridden Birta several times, among them at the
North  American Horse Spectacular in  Novi, MI, I see
how steady and mellow she is. Anne too has an
execellent way of teaching, and to make both rider and
horse feel comfortable. Anne does not rush things, but
has an open mind to make everybody understand.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact
me at my email.

Sincerly,
Lone Minkklinen

It is a pleasure to write regarding my positive experience with Anne
In just two weeks of work,my mare's gait, energy, and attitude
improved greatly. ANne performed ground work exercises with her
that have made her a more flexible, limber animal. I have learned
how to facilitate these exercises, and this has helped me forge a
stronger bond with my horse.

Ms. Johnson is also proficient in enhancing the rideabity of horses.
Prior to working with Anne, my horse was not confident in tolt. After
Ms. Johnson's input, Tofa was much more willing to tolt on request
. As a result of Tofa's  training  and the focused lessons I took with
Anne,  I've become a more confident rider!

I am very impressed with Anne's training style ... firm but gentle
with a high degree of professionalism.

I wholeheartedly recommend Anne Johnson as a horse trainer and
a riding instructor. If you have any questions, please feel free to
email me.

Sincerely
Cecilia Donohue,
From my past students.
