Coaching Process. Step by Step. Clarity and Direction.
Here's what the process looks like when you work directly with Monty.
01. Initial Consultation
We begin with a one-on-one conversation to understand the goals of both horse and rider — where you are, and where you want to be.
02. Assessment & Strategy
Monty evaluates the horse's ability, temperament, and current foundation, as well as the rider's skill level, to design a personalized path forward.
03. Program Design
We build out clear milestones and action steps, creating a progressive plan that promotes steady improvement for both horse and rider.
04. Refinement & Progress
As training advances, Monty identifies problem areas and works through them with patience and precision — refining performance along the way.
05. Performance Confidence
Monty's coaching style builds confidence through consistent positive feedback, developing focus, and strengthening the partnership between horse and rider.
Training Process. Built on Discipline. Driven by Communication.
Monty's proven step-by-step approach produces confident, willing, and high-performing horses.
01. Define the Goal
Every horse enters training with a clear vision for its future — from reined cow horse to all-around performance prospect — ensuring a tailored program built for purpose.
02. Establish the Foundation
Using a low-pressure, thoughtful approach, Monty builds trust and understanding through repetition, consistency, and clarity in every session.
03. Develop Understanding
Each new skill builds upon the last. Horses aren't pushed ahead until they fully understand each step — creating true confidence and reliability.
04. Build Try & Attitude
Monty rewards effort and try, cultivating a positive attitude that carries into every aspect of a horse's performance and training longevity.
