Meet Ferdinand, the mechanical cow. We use Ferdinand as a training tool to
familiarize horses with cow work.
         As a horse trainer my main goal is to help your horse reach his or
her full athletic potential and develop a solid reining foundation. I am able
to accomplish this by developing trust with your horse by working in the
round pen and first developing a relationship. This relationship allows me
to gain control of the mind and body of your horse so the horse desires to
do what I am asking as opposed to forcing the horse.
 
        My training is focused on establishing a solid foundation of the
basics. Then I gradually build on that foundation to produce a finished,
well-trained, soft and supple horse. From foundation to finish, I will bring
your horse to its full athletic ability. Every discipline benefits from the
solid foundation I put on a horse. Whether it is rollbacks, sliding stops,
leads changes, or turnarounds, I will get your horse to achieve the ideal
softness and collection to perform any maneuver.  
 
        My training methods help young horses just starting out on their
way to happy, healthy, and successful careers in a variety of disciplines,
whether it is reining, reined cow horse, cutting or you just desire a very
well trained, responsive horse. Remedial horses are provided an
environment that promotes trust and security, which solves negative
behaviors and gets horses back on track for success. I will work with each
horse owner  and give specific tools to improve communication with your
horse so you can go home and continue to see improvement in your
horses training.
         I am often urged and asked to show and many people often wonder
why I don't show. Well, the answer is simple, my family comes first. If I did
show regularly I would miss all of my daughters shows, soccer games,
swimming meets, concerts etc. It would also take me away from the barn
and the horses in training. So, I choose my family at this time in my life, but
someday when my daughters are in college I will have more time!
 
        You are more than welcome to call and schedule a visit to observe
me working with some of the horses in training. If you are interested in
booking training, please do so as far in advance as possible. I typically am
booked six months in advance.
Cost:
$575.00 per month (includes full board)
$50.00 per month cattle fee if applicable

Please see testimonials from some of my clients below.
"My horse and I were in a rut that I could not find a way out of. In just 30 days the change is phenomenal. My horse is softer in my
hands, more supple and his willingness to work is a major improvement. Even his ground manners have changed. Riding is fun again"

I also took lessons and I am getting a lot more out of lessons than I ever have in the past.  Lyle gets his point across  by riding and
demonstrating on a horse that already knows its stuff, which is a lot clearer than having someone just tell you. It is like a lesson/clinic
combined. Western riding is a whole new language for me (coming from a dressage background) I am having a great time! Kathy and
Johnny

"If someone would have told me 60 days ago my horse would be doing all of this, I would of laughed. The before and after is
unbelievable. At Triple F they get the job done. My horse looks better than ever and I still am amazed every time I ride her. This horse
could
n’t lope on her left lead at all, now she does with no trouble, she can do lead changes, spins, stops on a dime and trots
backwards! Lyle is a true horseman and he genuinely loves what he is doing. He treated my horse so good I feel totally safe leaving my
horses there. The facility was very nice and well run. I still am in awe at what he has done with my horse; you would have to see it to
believe it."  Denise and Bell, Portland MI

"My horse was in for remedial training. I could not get him to do anything I asked. He came out of training a completely different horse,
he was responsive and respectful, he even looked so much better due to the regular workouts." Carol

"My horse is doing awesome! Lyle worked with me on how to maintain all of the things my horse learned in training. I watched the
training sessions regularly and he welcomed that."  Kim

"We needed a really good start on our colt because we planned on showing him in some futurities. Lyle came highly recommended and
we got exactly what we needed, a horse very soft, collected and responsive. We are really looking forward to the futurities now!" Mike

"I was very leery about sending my horse to a trainer. I was relieved when I heard I could observe my gelding being worked any time. I
could watch Checkers being worked and the results were beyond my expectations. They really took good care of him and to top it off,
he is doing so nicely under saddle." Sue, Grand Rapids, MI

"I put my mare in training for 30 days and thought I would get a horse that was lightly started and I would have to do a lot to finish her.
When I went to pick her up she was backing, walking, trotting, loping circles and even some side passing. I was thrilled!" John, Grand
Rapids, MI

"I brought my daughters horse to Triple F Ranch because he really needed a lot of work and my daughter wanted to ride in 4H. I cannot
believe the difference after 60 days, he really is doing well and my daughter took some lessons before we brought him home. We were
extremely satisfied with the service provided to us."  Gary, Grand Rapids, MI

"I cannot believe my horse is doing so well! All for a price that is so reasonable, you can’t beat it! My horse is all tuned up for riding
season now!" Jenifer, Lansing, MI

"I would advise anyone who values their horse to go and watch Lyle working with horses in the round pen. He truly has a gift of
communicating with horses. It is a spectacular performance to watch him bond with even the most difficult horse (like mine!) and
actually connect with them to form a trusting relationship."  Mark

"I am very happy with the progress Lyle has made with my horse. I will feel more confident and safe when I ride. Thank you so much!!"  
Sue, Grand Rapids, MI
