My story is somewhat typical...loved horses as a kid, finally got one as an adult and thought that we could "learn together". I saddled up my new friend and set out on the trail all happy and carefree, but it wasn't long before I realized the young green Arabian I purchased as my first horse was calling all the shots, and not necessarily looking out for our best interest.

Luckily we met Dave fairly early on, and I'm pretty sure he's saved both our lives, a few times.

One of the first things you'll learn from Dave is that you need to trust your horse and let your guard down, just a little.

This doesn't mean that your horse will always be perfect, it's more understanding that from your horses perspective he's doing all he knows how to do, and it's up to us to help them understand what we want, and to assure them that everything's going to be ok.

Dave will also instill in you the importance of understanding the movement of the feet and getting in better rhythm them, something that will be an eternal goal for me. I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to see Dave and his effortless way of communicating with horses quite regularly, and I learn something every time!

But I think the thing that I admire most in Dave is that he will not give up on a horse. He has a true gift for understanding what’s going on on the inside, and the ability to not only make them feel better, but to excel in life. He cares deeply about all horses, no matter how “special”.

Whether you are new to riding horses or 30 years into it, a fall can create a fear-driven wedge between you and the horse you enjoy. A serious fall affected me in just that way. Although recovery was strong for me and my desire to ride that horse again was my main goal, I accomplished it with a hefty dose of “what if”. It seemed that fear jumped in my path each time I headed toward the barn spoiling my desire for a fun ride with my horse. In my search for answers I found Dave Seay to be much more than a video or television horseman. He is reachable and knowledgeable, and very experienced with fearful horses and fearful riders. Dave does not give a quick fix and send you on your way hoping it all turns out for the best; he helps you to learn what the horse needs and how to use that knowledge to get the results you need.

In my situation, Dave's patient understanding allowed me to take control of my thoughts and actions to create an awareness that I will never be without. He showed me small things to change in myself that has affected my horse ina big way. This fed a new confidence and a desire to earn respect and build trust between us...a journey of discovery and enjoyment that has replaced my fear with knowledge.

After over 3 years of searching for a horseman skilled in methods I support to work with my troubled mare, I am thankful beyond words to have met such a talented and gifted horseman as Dave Seay.
 
From the moment Dave got on her back, he rode and worked her in a meaningful and productive way.  In contrast to some of our previous training experiences, I truly have such an appreciation for just how special Dave’s horsemanship skills are.   The years Dave spent gentling mustangs for the Bureau of Land Management are just part of Dave's experience that enables him to read horses so well and provide exactly what they need to progress to a better place. I watch Dave ride and work with my mare with pleasure and

excitement as he enables her to make huge leaps of progress with every session. Dave sees the talents a horse has lying deep inside, and helps that horse develop those talents in a positive and progressive manner. His impeccable timing and support for my horse when she needs it help her make amazing strides that she and I are then able to build on at home. 
 
After some bumps in our road, my horse and I found Dave Seay and I couldn't be happier.  Now we are on our way to achieving anything and are forever grateful to Dave.
