Can't keep a business open without equine owners with a love for their animals and a passion to chase their goals as horseman, eventers, cowhands, ranchers,rodeo contenders, reiners , cutters, mounted shooters, trick riders, hunters, jumpers, and trail riders ect.

Thank you for your hard work and business!

I asked Seth to come out to work with me and my mare. I love his gentle but assertive attitude towards the horse that let's the horse understand and process what is asked for. He's not shy why he's doing things the way he does and likes to share his knowledge, which I think is great for owners to understand more of the principles of training and how horses respond.

I enjoyed seeing him work with my mare and wouldn't hesitate to reach out again if there's something I need help with.

Seth Conley provided Exceptional training and care for both my horses, and I could not be happier! One of my horses is a rescue that was severely emaciated, after getting his weight back up I went on a journey to heal his mind . I could not have done that without Seth. He transformed my horse from being very scared, due to his past abuse to a willing eager to learn horse who looks forward to each ride. It’s been amazing to see him progress so fast with the right leadership.

My other horse a welsh, went from never being ridden before, to a horse you can do anything with. Anyone can ride her, you can pull things with her, shoot a gun, rope, stand on her back and she will go anywhere you point her to go. She is a dream come true. I am so grateful for Seth healing my abused horse his mind and creating an amazing fun family horse that loves to work. Thank you!

In a world where we pay for training that is inconsistent, expensive, and doesn't produce results, it's been super refreshing working with Seth. He's exceptionally honest, has a good feel for the horse, and gives even the most nervous horse confidence. Don't be fooled though, it doesn't always happen overnight. Seth works with each horse at their own pace, and at least for me he's provided consistency and confidence building so I can build a better partnership with my horse. If you could see where she stsrted and how far along hes brought her, you'd be amazed! Highly recommend!

Seth worked with our 12 year old Paso Fino mare and did a phenomenal transformation of her bad behaviors. It took 5 weeks of daily training but we have a new horse now that can be ridden by our daughter and enjoyed. We highly recommend Seth and his intern Emma! He truly has a gift for training horses, a keen eye for issues, and a gentle approach to the process.

I used Seth’s services about a year ago. I had been given my first horse, a 20 year old mare, who needed a little work due to not being ridden for some time. He was very knowledgeable, took the time to explain what he was doing, and answered any questions I had. Seth has a gentle approach to his horsemanship and takes the time to understand your horse and their individual needs. I highly recommend Seth.

Seth came recommended to me by my farrier, who has had the displeasure of attempting to take care of my warmblood’s feet for the last seven months. I trust her implicitly, so I reached out. I chatted with Seth and knew pretty quickly that he was the trainer to help with this 17.2hh giant ball of inquisitive energy and, frankly, terrible ground manners. He’s big, and a lot of people find him intimating (including me, recently) since he picked up the habit of bolting whenever he feels like it. I had some requirements: no “methodologies,” only true understanding of the horse, his behavior, and his language. No gimmicks. No harsh “cowboy” methods that involve fear, pain, or intimidation- only partnership and respect. After only an hour watching Seth teach Phoenix to ground tie, stand still while being tacked, standing still to be mounted, and a more graceful, less “dressage-y” entrance into his canter, none of which I have witnessed in my time with Phoenix, I knew that my gut instinct was correct. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN AN HOUR. Seth understands horses, and, what’s more, and far harder, he understands (and tolerates) people. Give this man your money, now, and don’t look back. He’ll give the best gift you can receive: a better horse, a better partnership, and an education. He is a student and master of his craft, and an artful teacher. When he’s listed alongside Buck Brannaman, Ray Hunt, and the rest of the greats, I’ll be proud to say he handed me back a better horse and I got the honor to shake his hand.

I want to start this review with, I got everything I asked for and more!! I started talking to Seth months before I sent my six year old Hancock mare to him. I wanted to sit back and watch a little before sending my girl. I was nothing but pleased with what I saw with Seth’s horsemanship, so we made plans for her to spend 30 days with Seth. Seth and I talked extensively about what I wanted him to work on with her. My mare is very sensitive and needed some miles and a trusting person for that job. From the day I dropped her off to the day I picked her up, Seth’s communication, updates, pictures, videos just solidified his horsemanship! I came out two weeks after dropping her off and went on an awesome ride with Seth and was blown away in how much more relaxed my mare was. I was so incredibly happy and excited about her progress. Today, I picked her up after a complete 30 days… I could not be more pleased!! I had a great horse before but I’ve got an absolutely amazing horse now! Seth is so knowledgeable, kind, smart and patient. I have no doubt I could call Seth at anytime if I have questions or need something. I 💯 recommend Seth Conley Horsemanship for any needs you may be looking for, I have no doubt he will make it happen. So very pleased and have an awesome friendship from it!

After I put the first few rides on my 2 year old I contacted Seth Conley. I asked him if he would put some miles on him this winter. I have been impressed with Seth. He has not only been riding my young horse but putting some handle on him along the way. Seth is a young man with an old soul. He puts the horse first.

Great horsemanship! Seth listened to the problem I was having backing a young horse and then was able to come out, determined the issue quickly, and had a method to make adjustments to fix it. He got my horse listening and moving more freely, got on him without fear, and was able to give me the tools to keep him that way and be safer under saddle.

Seth has had my 2 and a half year old QH for 3 weeks, and he has exposed my colt to so much good honest work, and established such confidence without rushing. Seth has a method of working with young horses - the results speak volumes for his program. My colt has blossomed, and he has 2+ months to go! Solid results!

I’ve been really happy with the work Seth has done with my horse. She came to him as a problem horse with a lot of holes in her training and some behaviors that made her difficult to work with. She wasn’t an easy project, but he took the time to understand her and work through what was behind those behaviors.

Watching her become the horse she is today has been pretty special. She has truly done a 180 and has gained so much confidence, try, and understanding. The difference from when she first came to him is truly noticeable.

What I appreciate most about Seth is that his horsemanship goes beyond simply teaching a horse what to do. He takes the time to understand the horse in front of him and builds trust and communication through feel, timing, and understanding. He has a way of seeing the horse underneath the behavior and working with that instead of just correcting what you see on the surface.

He has also taught me a lot along the way. Watching him work with my horses has helped me better understand the small things that go into communication, timing, and building a partnership with a horse. I’ve learned a lot from him already, and I’m looking forward to continuing to learn.

I’ve been so happy with the progress and the way he works that I now have another mare with him as well. I really appreciate the time and thought he puts into my horses and the progress he’s helped them make.

I want to recommend Seth Conley as a trainer and clinician. I recently had the pleasure of experiencing his intuitive and practical approach to horse training at a clinic in Loon Lake WA, and I was extremely impressed.

My horse can be reactive, and Seth handled him (and me) with patience, kindness, and understanding. Rather than rushing him, Seth allowed my horse the time and space to think things through, make the correct choice, and process each lesson in his own time. His approach was gentle, thoughtful, and effective.

Seth is kind and easy to work with. He takes the time to explain the “what” and the “why” behind his training methods, making sure both the horse and rider understand what is being asked. Most importantly, he focuses on positive progress and building confidence in the horse.

I had recently been hurt in a riding accident and was struggling with my confidence as a rider. After my sessions with Seth, I felt that confidence begin to return. I went home feeling empowered and confident enough to enter a trail competition.

That was an incredible feeling, and I cannot thank this young, talented cowboy enough for helping me find my confidence again. Seth has a true gift for working with both horses and people, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and effective trainer or clinician.
