"Ted uses the best of everything when he makes a saddle, and this one is no exception. His workmanship and attention to detail are
amazing. This saddle not only looks great, but rides and fits the horses even better than it looks. Very comfortable from day-one and
just keeps getting better. The beauty and balance are second to none."
-Bruce Slusher

 

 

Praise from Our Clients

Howdy,
     To put it honestly... You pointed in me in the right direction and gave me tons to build on... I have been keeping busy doing it for years now... Its a totally awesome thing when you have that level of trust and respect between a horse and rider. I wish all my relationships were that good! (ha..ha..smile)

     Jr and I are a lot a like in that whatever amount of love you put into me I give it back 10 fold.. With the principals you teach in conjunction with being used correctly even a novice will find immediate results. Hopefully other people can do what I did... Find you early on in there equine endeavors And use the principals and philosophy as a foundation for EVERYTHING else they ever do with a horse.

     In large part... I have you to thank for my current success... You planted seeds of equine wisdom with-in my heart & spirit...
It has grown into something very special and very beautiful.. I am finding that not everyone can embrace this "style" of horsemanship...
I find it sad... Both for the horse and the human.

Best Regard,
Dawn D.

 
Hi Bruce,
    I just wanted to let you know how much Kathy and I enjoyed the BSH clinic last weekend. Kathy is also so excited about working with her horses again. After a devastating loss in her life, she just didn't have the desire to do much with them or anything else.
   We both learned so much, and I have so much to work on. Isn't that the best part of horsemanship...it's a journey without end!I can't tell you thank you enough. We have two or three more at the barn planning to audit your October clinic.
 
God Bless

When we first started working with Bruce we didn't talk. We couldn't talk, we were just spellbound watching the changes take place in our horse. BRUCE SLUSHER HORSEMANSHIP has taken our high-headed, untouchable former sulky-race mare, into a approachable, relaxed, western pleasure horse that wants to please. We were totally comfortable with the BSH strategy throughout the training process.
    Our observation skills have greatly improved through BSH. We can now detect subtleties in our horse's expressions, movement and stance, giving us a much better reading of what horses are trying to communicate. We are more grateful than we can say.

    We can't thank you (BSH) enough for all you are doing for us and the horses. We are both seeing and feeling the changes take place. It's very exciting, and this is due to you helping us. I am experiencing things with Murphy that are completely new to me, and I know Gary feels the same with Rocket. What Fun!
    Your patience, actions, thoughts, and process show once again the true horseman you are. You continue to impress us with everything you do, and we know the horses truly appreciate you too.

Dear Bruce,
    I loved your "Partner-Up" horsemanship clinic. I thought you were an excellent instructor, and I really liked the way the way you checked each one of us as we practiced. I'm sure you were exhausted! I can't wait to continue to work with my horse, Danska, on all the things we learned. As tired as my body was from the workout, my mind was wide awake with enthusiasm for "Dancing" with my horse! I can't wait for the next clinic. Thank you!
 
Sincerely,
Linda D.
