About Me

De Land, FL, United States
Ronnie J Ford was born and raised in Lakeland FL. Known as the horse capitol of the world, Florida has given Ronnie many opportunities with the best and worst of experiences with horses. With over thirty five years of experience in the good, the bad and the ugly of the horse world, he comes to the forefront with a wealth of knowledge, understanding and compassion of both horse and rider. Referred to as a horse whisperer by many, magic man by others, Ronnie is first an advocate for the horse. "Horses only do what they are taught to do or what their owners allow them to do. In most cases where a horse exhibits bad behavior, look no further than the handler for the reasons why". Ronnie has had great success in helping handlers/owners and riders to understand the thinking and behavior of the horse with the end result being more than they could have hoped for. He has a very common sense approach to the horse and it's clear the horse understands. Natural Horsemanship is the hallmark of Ronnie's continued success with horses and riders.

CLINIC IN MIMS FLORIDA






RFTC was invited by Fox Lake Farms to do a clinic for the volunteers in a program developed for those who are mentally, emotionally and physically disabled.  The farm is owned and operated by Gloria Moye with the help of her son, Doug Moye.  They use horses for therapeutic riding which helps these individuals improve their balance strength and general well being.

Gloria has been bringing at least three horses each time she visits the training center to improve her horses' capabilities in the program.  Along the way, she felt her volunteers would benefit from having Ronnie do a clinic for them to improve their abilities and skills in working with the horses.  The volunteers did a great job and the clinic was a great success.  Thank you to Gloria and all the volunteers for inviting us to play a role in the important work you do!
