Tom Mowery with Mutual Gains Horsemanship, a natural horse trainer out of Colorado and considered one of the best in the country, held a horse training clinic May 21 and June 1 at Alvin Detweiler’s farm south of Jamesport.
Mr. Mowery worked with a horse under harness Saturday.
“I feel like it’s Christmas every day because I get presents all the time,” he said, when the horse he was working with agreed to cooperate.
Mr. Mowery takes the best of natural horsemanship and applies it to each individual situation. The notion that there is something to gain for the horse as well as the human is the basis for his training. Mr. Mowery is best known for providing insight on how a horse thinks and processes information.
An Amish man commented that…”Tom knows the inside of a horse better than anybody I know.”
Mr. Mowery told the horse owners gathered that it was all about getting the horses’ minds to work better.
It was the tenth year Mr. Mowery had made the trip to Jamesport.
