Greg Eliel Greg Eliel grew up on a ranch in Montana and was, as best he can recall, riding horses as soon as he could walk. With years of ground and riding instruction under his cowboy belt, Greg is now considered one of the top experts in the country in the arena of natural horsemanship... a far cry from the old methods of 'breaking' horses. Natural horsemanship emphasizes working, training and riding horses in a manner that works with the horse's instincts, rather than imposing one's will on the animal. Over the years, Greg used the skills he honed with horses in his personal and professional human relationships and, in doing that, discovered what worked with horses also worked with people. Greg is now focusing his talents toward the corporate world, with the deeply held belief that working with horses helps humans live happier and more productive lives. |
