Testimonials & Feedback
Dan Wilson has been part of my From the outset, Dan Wilson exhibited talent, but most of all dedication to the art of becoming a horseman. Through the years he has matured and improved in his ability to execute my techniques. Recognising Dan’s talents I have chosen to use him on many of my demonstration tours. The Dan’s greatest assets are his responsibility and dedication. He would be an asset to any community where horses are a part. Dan is going places in my opinion and will in the near future be recognised as an outstanding member of the equestrian world. If I can answer any questions regarding Dan Wilson it would be my pleasure to do so. Yours sincerely Monty Roberts
It should be known that both Monty Roberts and Kelly Marks have used and continue to use Grant Bazin and Dan Wilson as riders/assistants since 1999. We have both used them outside of the Each of us has been satisfied with these young men both from the standpoint of reliability and competence. We believe them to be honest and capable of doing an educational presentation should you choose to schedule them for a display. Yours sincerely Monty Roberts & Kelly Marks
"Grant & Dan's methods and work is vital in the preparation of the horse for the farrier. I strongly advise my clients to prepare horses in this way"
"I am writing to thank you once again for support and collaboration in our mission to help horses here in the South of Italy. As you yourself witnessed, the local people are very closed-minded and not so keen on novelty and change. Although the initial organising of the non-violent methods demo proved to be rather difficult, I’m pleased to inform you that the outcome has however been surprising. During the weeks to follow the event, many people, not only horse owners but simple spectators complemented on the initiative, and admitted to have known very little of what the ‘horse’ actually is, and about it’s incredible intelligence and beautiful nature. Many have asked about future demonstrations and course, even a couple of Carabinieri (military policeman) have asked for information after hearing all about your work from Captain of Vico del Gargano…. I really believe that together we can change the way horses are treated here and maybe in the years to come, we’ll no longer hear of traditional methods and ill-treated horses within this territory. I could write forever about just how fantastic and effective the work you and your colleague Grant Bazin do, but I think it’s easier and simpler to say Thank You. It’s because of people like yourself that tomorrow’s world will be a better place. Looking forward to seeing you here next spring. Yours sincerely Sandra Gunn Yard Owner, Cantrada Calenella"
Translation of Letter from Domenico Lombardi. President of International Police Association, Garano North "On the 14th May I was invited by Sandra Gunn to participate in a non-violent methods demonstration held at Masseria Le Ville, Calenella. The demonstration offered spectators the possibility to witness that a non-violent approach with young untrained horses and remedial horses, in very little time, left them calm and cooperative. It demonstrated and helped us understand that tough and severe traditional methods do not produce good results. The tranquillity and calm of the horses after applying these methods left us all amazed. Certainly these results are due to the professionalism and experience of Grant Bazin and Dan Wilson. They used various techniques to help the horse understand what they wanted it to do and that it should not to be afraid of humans. Both spectators and horse owners were moved and surprised. With the use of these methods, many horses destined to slaughter, could definitely be saved. In my opinion, using these methods here, where they are still unknown, would favour the culture of the horse and how its treated, and for example, could bring children closer to the equestrian world with the understanding and respect for this noble animal known as the horse. It would also favour the development of interest in the territory and enhance tourism and economy. I would like to that the organisers who made this event possible, in particular Sandra Gunn and Architect Vincenzo Zaffarano, Head of local voluntary group “Giacche Verdu” Vico Del Gargano.
