The most important consideration for those visiting this Web Site should be “What is this “Bonding With Horses” all about? We feel it is a breakthrough in what used to be called Training Methods and what we now describe as Bonding Training. It’s a new concept which has proven itself. The Bonding Method is an integral part of our training process and was developed by Jessica Chickering. Perhaps you have read about other “Bonding” techniques but there are none that approach Jessica’s application of Bonding. It has to be seen and experienced to be believed. Visit or participate in one of our clinics to see what "Bonding" can do for you and your horse.
Jessica has a wealth of knowledge about practical horsemanship. Every time I have a session with her I feel like both me and my horse have learned something. All valuable lessons I can take home and apply. Claire is the youngest of my three horses. Since she has had Jessica as her trainer I believe she has the best ground manners and would trust her to take me just about anywhere!
There are lots of trainers and horse people in the world, some good and some bad. The good ones are hard to find. Jessica made my experience starting Claire very positive and rewarding and I am lucky to have one of the good trainers!

"I was fortunate to Jessica in 2009. I had a Morgan who was deemed un-trainable by other professionals. Jessica helped me “understand” him. She quickly connected with him and taught me how to as well. With her expertise and energetic but quiet nature she gave him the direction he so desperately needed. He loved to work for her and aimed to please. These were qualities I never knew he had before working with Jessica. Because of her I was finally able to enjoy him for the companion he was meant to be. My only regret is that I wish I had met Jessica 16 years sooner! Thank you Jessica for teaching both of us and making our bond a stronger one. You rock!"
