Buster was born on our farm when I was 9 years old. Some of my favorite memories took place in the pasture when he was a foal. For hours he would lay dozing in the sun while I sat in the grass beside him putting dandelions in his mane. From an early stage Buster and I had a connection. But like every young colt, Buster quickly grew out of the sweet innocent foal stage and into a sneaky, clever, yearling. By the time he turned two he was even trickier, but you couldn't help but love him. At that time my family did a little Parelli Natural Horsemanship so I did some ground-work with him and a little riding. My mom was very hesitant to let me keep him and ride him because we were both young. So we brought Buster up to be trained by Zeke and I took a weekly lesson. Looking back I realize how much I needed to learn about Natural Horsemanship. Zeke really showed me a new world of horsemanship and I learned how to Communicate with my horse naturally. For the past two summers I have been taking lessons from Zeke. Every week I look forward to my lessons and the new things I learn. Zeke helped Buster and I pass level 1 of the Parelli Savvy System and we are now almost done with level 2. For each new obstacle I come across Zeke helps me through it. Now Buster and I have a better relationship and we have a lot of fun playing together. Zeke has inspired me to continue with my horsemanship journey and go through the levels to someday become a Parelli Professional.

 Gabriel

After training: He dropped the 'I’m going to kill a human' routine, and turned into the nice, pleasing clown that we always knew. He was such a good boy. All the words in the world but "Miracle" could not describe how much Gabe had improved. You could actually see him process thoughts. He listened and tried to do everything asked of him without opposition, but still with that great light he always had.
