Testimonials

Our horses are more than just animals to us; they are beloved members of our family. The idea of someone else working with them can be overwhelming and even scary. Let me share what some of the people I've worked with have to say about my training skills and the positive effects Cognitive Connection Dressage has had on their horses.

“I’ve been working too much, without much time to exercise my horses. Argot was very compassionate with my 23 year old and exercised him appropriately given his advanced age. My 6 year old OTTB had not yet been restarted due to many physical ailments from his racing days. When he was finally ready, Argot helped tremendously with getting him going and did a wonderful job in setting down a good foundation for him. He is wonderful with the horses, both of mine responded wonderfully to his kind and gentle nature.”

“Argot worked with our young OTTB gelding to help him with balance and transitions. He also farm-sat for us for a month during the summer. We can’t say enough about his reliability and professionalism as well as his deep commitment to ensuring the overall well-being of horses.”

“Argot shows such a genuine passion for ethical training and riding, and the horses he works with are lucky to have him. His attention to the mental state of each horse, and his ability to cater each training session to the specific needs of each horse, are traits sorely lacking in the horse world today!”

Argot has been a well loved student and valued community member at Meadowlark for many years. While continuing his education at Michigan State, he rode with many well respected trainers and has brought that knowledge back. Argot has a sense of compassion that allows him to connect with humans and animals alike and makes him a wonderful teacher, trainer, and a very talented rider.”

“Argot’s patience towards both animals and humans proved to be paramount in making them an integral part of the barn team while interning for us.”
