A sudden and unexpected jostling to the side startled me, followed by a lost stirrup and the sensation of my body lifting higher and higher off the leather. The realization that each pulse was setting me up for a dangerous and obvious conclusion of a bone-threatening over-the-head toss, urged me to choose to "fly" off the side. I don't remember the "flight", but I do remember the landing! At sixty years old, I don't need to experience many of those "lumps" in life. More
My decision to have Steve Bauhr start my 2 year old filly, Corie, was not difficult to make. I had seen Steve work with a couple of horses and knew by watching that he truly loved horses and was intent on giving them the best start possible. At the Bauhr Ranch, Corie was introduced to many sensory situations. She now stands calmly for tarps being hung on her, moves easily with ropes swinging over her head and wrapped around her legs, and does not flinch when an umbrella is opened and shut repeatedly in her face.

We specifically picked Steve Bauhr to start our three-year old Mustang gelding "Little Joe" because of Steve's gentle nature and understanding of the horse. Steve is a rare trainer that maintains a fascination for each horse he works with. We adopted Joe from the BLM as a three-month old colt. We worked with him ourselves, using natural horsemanship techniques, for three years. More
