More Than Just a Horsemanship Camp
"Inspiring... yes. Possibly transformational." - Craig Couillard
"Definitely recommend the Doug Mills Method. I took my mare there with the full intentions of selling her at the end of the camp as our problems seem so monstrous. With the tools that Doug taught me and teaching my mare and I a different way of communicating we became a team with a foundation to build on. With his and his teams help showing how to communicate the horses language and show how your energy affects your horses movement and reactions."
