Training
"The biggest thrill I can get in my life is taking the raw, untapped talent of athletic-looking horses and putting massive amounts of time, energy and effort into training them into top-notch event horses. I believe that there are no quick fixes, no tricks or shortcuts in training event horses. To me it is a classical, methodical process and it is very rewarding when completed. My love and enthusiasm for horses is interlocked with a passion for perfection in training them."
Boyd has an excellent eye and quickly assesses the appropriate training methods for any horse and rider combination. He has an incredibly strong work ethic, and his amiable personality immediately puts the rider at ease during each training session. Come train with this first-rate international rider!
