CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
“What started as an inquiry into Ranch Sorting, turned into a relaxed intro session. We chatted about lessons I wanted for my horse and me and then Josh explained as his theory and approach. The sessions are video and then broken down. I saw my work and attempts at the different exercises. Then Josh calmly points out errors and explains solutions for improvement. Positive, clear, and patient. This was perfect! Looking forward to more sessions/lessons!”
GERI COOPER
“Josh provides a lot of attention to detail and the basic fundamentals of sorting. He really breaks it down nicely. The computer diagrams, the examples showing different angles to approach the cattle, the various strategies involved, the videotaping of lessons, and feedback afterwards—it’s all so helpful. Josh is a classy person. A true gentleman. ”
