Hoofbeat Attunement

My name is Matney Cook and I offer partnership based horse training, lessons and coaching that blend a variety of natural horsemanship techniques with Equine Facilitated Learning exercises. This style of horse-human communication creates meaningful interactions that alleviate stress, develop authentic leadership and deepen self confidence in both species simultaneously.

My goal is always to work myself out of a job by turning out confident horses and horse handlers that communicate fluidly and effectively in a multitude of environments and activities. In doing so, both horse and human more easily achieve their goals in any discipline and will not only excel in their chosen field, but will also have a more enjoyable and enriching experience all around.

Through my mindful, congruent, quiet, and gentle training methods, I foster communication, trust and respect, the building blocks of a solid foundation. I also teach in partnership with Caitlin Jones, MSW and others to provide workshops and group lessons to all levels of horse enthusiasts that foster and continue to develop the passion for learning and life that equines inspire and reward.
