About Mike Brashear
From a young age, Mike was drawn to horses. He found them to be a source of comfort, which in turn made Mike want to search for ways to do something good for them. This desire led him to many of the horsemanship greats, who are still some of the most well-known and respected today. However, he realized that the horse is the greatest teacher of all. His passion has allowed Mike to professionally train horses for the last thirty years.
Mike concentrates on foundation to finished horses, using natural methods to create a relationship between horse and rider. Mike is a local and national clinician helping others with a variety of topics based on common sense horsemanship. Only second to horses, he has a passion to help people. He appreciates the “ah-ha” moments a student finds that allows them to move forward toward creating a better relationship with their horse.
Mike lives in Fort Lupton, Colorado, just north of Denver, with his wife, and their three children. Mike has built his life around horses and the best horsemanship possible.
A Bit of Background
Once Mike decided to really make a career out of working with horses, he devoured every piece of horse training knowledge possible. He began with attending clinics put on by some of the leading horseman in the horsemanship world. He watched videos and studied everything horse related. He also attended the horse training program at Laramie County Community College, obtaining a degree in Equine Management and Training. There, he was able to learn different perspectives from other incredible instructors. Mike also gleaned information on facilities, feed, and overall proper care of horses. After graduating, he continued his horsemanship education by riding and working with some of the best horsemen and leaders in the industry. Mike continues to further his education in any way possible and still talks to and learns from his mentors. He is forever grateful for their guidance and friendships.
