How Randy Bird developed his
method
Randy Bird exudes a quiet confidence. One that doesn't need boisterous antics to back up his knowledge. This longtime horsemans roots are firmly planted in hard work and horses, competing in barrel racing and working with standardbreds from a young age. Many noticed his talent and questioned if he could make their horses as calm and responsive as the ones he was already training. When Randy met Australian horseman Alan Barber in 1986, Barber imparted the training knowledge of the legendary J.D. Wilton. A trip to Australia with Barber and a load of horses changed his way of thinking, and ultimately his life. "When I saw what they were able to do with a horse, I realized this was what I wanted to do with my life and that if I couldn't do the same, I would never be happy in the horse business again," says Randy. "I have been using and adapting these methods to my needs in educating riding and driving horses ever since". Randy now boasts an impressive client list spanning Canada and the United States, training horses to both ride and drive. Randy has noticed a renewal in the art of carriage driving and explains as horse people get older, they begin to look for fun and safe ways to stay involved in the equine community. Driving fits the bill as it allows the entire family to be involved from children to grandparents. "I want all the horses coming out of here to not only calmly accept the cart, but also to move out with complete trust no matter what the situation," says Randy. "We make every effort to ensure the horses are not only ready for these experiences but that the experiences will be safe, fun and enjoyable".
