"Jim has been my teacher, coach, and encouragement for the past two years.  I don't know where I would be, or more importantly, where my horse would be without Jim's patient guidance and help.  Jim's dedication to understanding the horse and his natural leadership abilities make him an excellent teacher.
    My feelings of frustration and incompetence have turned into feelings of fun and pleasure since working with my horses under Jim's support.
    You will have to see it to believe it.
    I highly recommend Jim and Relation Foundation Natural Horsemanship.  Jim will help you build a wonderful, interesting and kind relationship with your horse.
    Gratefully," - Tammy Miller, B.J. and Miss K

"Since Jim has started teaching me I have become so much more confident with my horse.  I feel now like I can understand more of what my horse is trying to tell me.  Jim is a true natural horseman.  He has a way of teaching that makes the most inexperienced rider feel comfortable.  He has been a blessing to my daughter and myself." - Kelly Mahler

 "Jim Brannon is one of the best horse trainers that I have ever been around.   He understands how a horse thinks.  He helped me a lot with Crystal and Seawa this past year.  Horses seem to respect Jim.  They know or feel that he is not going to hurt them.  I would recommend everyone that I know who wants or needs a horse trainer to Jim Brannon." - Carol E McMichael

"Before I met Jim, I was a nervous wreck. Being a city girl and a first time horse owner, I was completely overwhelmed with all scopes of horsemanship. Then I found Jim, and have been truly blessed ever since taking his course and becoming friends with him and his wonderful wife Cindy. Jim helped me create an amazing partnership with Dottie, one I never imagined I’d attain to this level, and a mutual trust and respect that will last a lifetime, and carry on to future horses. He has a immense passion for horses that shines through his teaching making it a fun and inspirational learning experience. The course is set up in a way that makes it very understandable and Jim’s patience is second to none. Not only do I feel confident with my horse, but I have the basic knowledge I need to comprehend their thought process and what their body language shows and how to use that to my advantage. If you want to develop a communication, learn valuable skills to build a solid relationship, and have fun for you and your horse, Jim is the man." - Alex Coon

"I cannot express what a wonderful teacher/coach and natural horseman
Jim is and on top of that he truly cares about horses.  This is
exhibited in every contact he has with them regardless of whose they
are.  I contacted Jim after returning to the horse world after 20 years
to find myself with two halter broke young horses as opposite in
personality as they are in their breeding.  I wanted to train them with
natural methods but had no idea how to put it in action without messing
them up.  

Jim told me if I was willing to work he would train me to train my
horses and establish a solid foundation and together we have.  His
structured approach complete with specific horse homework and tasks to
work on was just what I needed.  Jim gave me a plan each lesson after
showing me how to put it in action all the while not moving on until I
had grasped the concepts.  I have never had such fun working my horses
on the ground.  

While my horses personalities haven't changed- one is sensitive and
timid the other dominant and inquisitive- I now have skills to be the
leader they need me to be.  I can confidently ride them both, protect
my personal space, deliberately direct them and engage them in learning
activities.  We are now working on refining our skills with consistency
and patterns.  We have a solid foundation to build upon and my horses
look forward to any and all time spent with them.  The timid one even
considers Jim her friend now and if you saw her reaction to his
introduction ten lessons earlier you could truly appreciate what an
accomplishment that is.  

Thanks Jim and we will still be calling you for questions."
