Hi, my name is Rebecca Bohannon and I love natural horsemanship! Years ago my husband and I bought our first horse named Cody. We were so happy and our two children Brennen (then 6) and Collin (then 4) were ready to ride! Well. so I thought!

After only owning him for less than two months we took him to our friend’s house to ride on their five acre pasture. My husband warmed Cody up then Brennen was to ride first. Well before I could respond

Cody took of with Brennen and away they went. They were galloping and jumping logs till Brennen went flying off! Wow was I scared! Brennen ended up with some bruises and scrapes but was okay. I couldn’t help but think of what could have happened to him.

I started crying uncontrollably.

I then realized on our way home that not only were my children not safe, but I didn't know how to teach them to be safe. That drive home was long and upsetting. I discussed with my husband that I needed to get help and training from someone. He smiled and agreed.

That is when I found Cloud 9 Ranch! I was simply amazed! I started taking lessons and my children went to their summer camp. I was hooked from then on. Nancy and Claire have taught me so much and still do, but the horses taught me the most! I am now giving lessons and trailering horses for people in Naples. I am very excited to teach people and share with people that force doesn't have to come first.

That leadership and understanding a horse mentally, emotionally and physically is the key to get them to do it willingly! I have had such great success with my horse, and our additional horses (we now have 3) that I want to share with other people what I have learned so they can enjoy their horses as much as I do!
