It's a complete implementation program that teaches you how to duplicate the results of the world's best horse trainers at a fraction of the cost. Follow the steps, and you will see results.

The Big Problem This Solves

Most horses and owners get stuck in the “intermediate no-man’s land” between green broke and finished.

You’ve done the hard work. Your horse is started under saddle, quiet enough, maybe even guiding fairly well.

But when it comes to advancement— softening, leg yields, lead changes, spins, or neck reining — it all feels like guesswork.

Some days your horse nails it. Other days? He braces, gets over-bent, or flat-out resists. And you’re left wondering:

“What did I do wrong? How do I fix it? Why can’t I repeat the result?”

That inconsistency isn’t your fault.

It’s the result of holes in the foundation and not having a clear, repeatable roadmap for what to do next.

Without a system, riders bounce between disjointed lessons, YouTube tips, and advice from well-meaning friends.

But none of it connects into a coherent plan.

This leads to:

• Wasted time, money, and effort
• Bored horses regressing or picking up bad habits
• Frustration, doubt, and even loss of confidence for you

And worst of all… it kills the fun.

No longer!

Enter "Foundations Of Excellence"

This program lays out a simple, repeatable 7-step framework that takes any horse from “foundation” to “finesse.”

Think of it like a really detailed operator's manual for your horse, combined with a simple training checklist.

It's both deep and accessible -- easy for amaterus to pick up and implement, yet immersive enough to satisfy even the most hardcore students of the horse.

Every time you ride, you'll know exactly what to work on, in what order, and why. No guesswork.

And by the time you’ve checked all the boxes, you’ve well and truly prepared your horse for success with advanced maneuvers — without the drama, resistance, or confusion most riders battle for months (or years).

Instead of:
❌ Hoping your horse magically “figures it out”
❌ Wondering if you need to push forward, or take a step back
❌ Worrying about "messing your horse up"

You’ll have:
✅ A confident plan every ride
✅ Clear milestones to a softer, more responsive horse
✅ Easy introduction to advanced spins, stops, lead changes, and more

Why It Works (When Everything Else Fails)

Most training programs fall into one of two traps:

1. Too vague. “Advanced horsemanship is just better basics.” That sounds nice… but it’s useless in the saddle.
2. Too complicated. Overthinking “feel” and “timing” without ever showing how to build those skills step-by-step.

Foundations Of Excellence bridges that gap. By stacking the right skills in the right sequence, it reverse-engineers elite feel and timing — without you having to consciously analyze every move.

It’s the closest thing to bottling up years of experience and handing it to you on a silver platter.

Now, that being said:

As powerful as these exercises and strategies are, they still require diligent execution on your part.

So to help you implement the program correctly, each step in the series provides deep layers of context, demonstration, real-time teaching, and examples to learn from. 

You'll effortlessly zoom between the shallow and deep layers:

From study guides and cheat-sheets you can take to the arena with you, to hours of in-depth content filmed with multiple horses at various stages of training.

Watch Jake ride and implement the program himself, both in single-exercise demos and full-length training sessions.

Then see how he coaches beginner and intermediate riders, helping them transform confusion and resistance into confidence and connection.

The course is comprised of over 75 hours of video, including both exercise snapshots and full training rides, plus video summaries and PDF articles. 

We designed this series to balance theory and practice, strip away the fluff, and help you take transformative action in the arena.
