ATTENTION - All Law Enforcement Agencies, MSAR Personnel and Natural 
Horsemanship Enthusiasts

Due to an overwhelming growing interest and use of scent detection 
horses, I have developed a new web site that will better serve the 
potential of the equine search tool.

http://www.airscentinghorse.com  has now been changed to
http://www.equinedetectionservices.com

After years of training scent detection horses across the US I have 
learned that we have only just scratched the surface of the equine 
potential in the detection field.  Scent detection is the last equine 
frontier.

New Major Break Throughs
The site equinedetectionservices.com features loads of new 
information including major break throughs and research accomplished 
in this exciting new field. Examples include: my greatly improved 
training methods, previously undiscovered equine sign language, and 
my work being done with Narcotic Detection Horses.

New And Improved Clinic Format
When I started putting on equine scent detection clinics, I was the 
first to pioneer this lost art. Since I was the first I had no one to 
imitate or copy. My information was original, not learned from a book 
but instead learned from in the field trials, test, training many 
horses and actual SAR missions. As I broke new ground, some of my 
first clinics may have been a little rough around the edges.  MSAR 
groups still enjoyed and learned from them. Using my methods, my 
students have successfully put on their own demonstrations in front 
of law enforcement. Some groups have even had me come back up as much 
as up to three years in a row. Experience is the best learning tool, 
so as I journeyed down this unexplored path, I learned how to improve 
my people training skills.( I always knew how to train the horses, 
but it was the people that I had to figure out how to train) For my 
05 clinics, I use a completely new and improved format.  My clinics 
now feature new easier training methods, and a lot more in the saddle 
participation. At my last three day clinic on the west coast (March 
2005), participants comments were as follows, " I was so excited that 
I could not sleep, I could not wait until the following days 
instruction began." and "This was the best MSAR training we ever 
had." As a matter of fact this group gave me a very generous deposit 
for a 2006 clinic just so they would be guaranteed a date. I believe 
the deposit for 06 proves how much they enjoyed and valued the 
weekend .  Letters of recommendation and clinic review are available 
on past clinics.

Natural Horsemanship
Besides the obvious advantages equine detection offers law 
enforcement and SAR it also fills a major void for those folks 
interested in Natural Horsemanship.The goal of Natural Horsemanship 
is to develop a relationship between horse and human using methods 
that are natural to the horse which will improve of communication and 
co-operation. Equine scent detection is Natural Horsemanship in its 
purest form. Riding scent detection horses provides the natural 
enthusiast a perfect, first of its kind, avenue for learning equine 
sign language.  During detection training you will develop an 
understanding of previously undiscovered equine sign language and 
rely totally on it in order to achieve your detection goal. Horses 
can learn to use scenting to locate a variety of sources that range 
from missing people all the way to your horses favorite toy. Equine 
scent detection is the ultimate horsemanship game and challenge.
This is the first step in forming a bond and building natural 
communication between horse and rider.  I have proven how effective 
and strong this bond can be by winning a state wide law enforcement 
obstacle competition (60 entries) with a perfect score using my 
5-year-old scent detection horse.  Learning to read your horses sign 
language will help you develop a partnership with your horse that is 
second to none.  This bond/partnership will help you advance in all 
horsemanship skills, in all disciplines.
