CUSTOMER COMMENTS:

Twister Heller is first class as a man and a horse trainer. We have 2 horses this gentleman has trained and could not be happier with the results. Twister has the skill, knowledge, experience and a dedication to make certain your horse will perform at the job he is capable of. From breaking a colt, to getting the spook out of an older horse, riding lessons or just putting the miles on one that needs it, he can get the job done. We highly recommend this facility and Twister for any training needs.

"I am writing to you today to express our gratitude in all the effort you have put into working with the colts we have brought you throughout the years, which have been several.  To give a little history of what our needs are with our animals; we own and operate a pretty old time family ranch in Central Arizona and use horses on a regular basis for every aspect of ranch work as well the regular afternoon pleasure ride.  As a family, our ages range from 5 to 80 years old; each of us with our own abilities and requirements.  With each colt we have brought up to you, you listened to our needs with respect to which person that animal belonged to in the family and what we thought that animal was like.  You have been very honest and straightforward with your thoughts on how you felt each individual colt would progress and what it would be capable of in the future.  Each colt we have brought back home from you have all been well on their way to being a top notch animal and behaved in the exact manner as to what you anticipated.  Your honesty, experience and consistency in your no-nonsense approach to horse training has been very refreshing and on par with our families ideology.  I am very grateful that we found you and your friendly nature and consistent product has kept us a repeat customer.  Thank you for all your honesty and hard work. The Meyer Family"

Please give Twister and Jud a hug for me.  We may have a couple of the kids colts for you early summer if you are up to it. Hope to see you soon.

Dear Twister,

I would never want to have to even consider another trainer for our horses and mules.  Having our horses exposed to big rumbling rock trucks, trains and horses running towards and away is truly priceless for an arena horse or trail horse.  Our horses have received a foundation that never goes away and all I can say is Thank You.  Thank you to Jud also, and thank you Sandy for every great  meal  that we have managed to be just in time for!

Hi Twister, Jud and Sandy,

 

I'm super, super pleased with Mater.  Thank you so much!!  He's confident and willing.  I really like how you evaluate each horse, you are so spot on and then train them to their potential.. with no holes.  A few times we have been on the trail & find ourselves in a bit of a sticky situation and then laugh because the baby (Mater) goes first, like a champ!!  By the way... I have another one heading your way soon.  : )

 

Take care of yourselves!!  Thank you again.

Hi Twister: My husband and I can't thank you enough for the work that you did with our horses.  Lacey, as you know, is a young horse and during our busy season, she needed the time and attention that you were able to spend with her.  We had recently purchased Shala, an older horse who was difficult for us to handle, not to mention overweight.  She was aggressive and despondent in turns and we had not been able to ride her, although she was generally easy to care for and worked OK with ground training.  After we had sent her to you, I then found out that her original owner had put Shala through some hard halter training, and after she had been sold to the owner I bought her from, she was in a stall for over a year without any exercise.  

But after 2 months under your care, Shala came home an entirely different horse.  She looked fantastic - in perfect health and no longer overweight.  She is easy to ride even for a beginner like me.  She gets along much better with Lacey.  And as you explained to me that Shala is a little ADHD, and needs to be gently reminded of her course, it's easier for me to understand and care for her.  

Lacey is growing up nicely and is becoming a great family horse.  My daughter rides her and the cowboys from the cutting arena across the way are all interested in taking her out - she has some great moves! We are talking about the horse here!!!! Not my daughter!!!  

Again, we can't thank you enough!

Love the training videos... if this doesn't show that you put the best foundation on all your prospects then people MUST be blind. My nine year old and my six year old that you broke can be used for anything and are used for everything. roping and working all ends of the cattle ranch, I compete in barrel racing and always bring home a check and a quiet and sound horse. these horses you have trained are using  their heads to think and ENJOY everything I do with them. I send everybody I meet that is in need of a trainer to you Twister, you ARE the best.
Always,
Jeanne Keitz, Az.

Horse will experience rough terrain - will help him become handy and calm, through rocks, boulders, cactus etc. Horse will travel relaxed - he will get miles, experience, exposure to livestock,traveling through the brush, dogs and critters and ditches. He will be exposed to swinging a rope. We really want to know from the customer what he or she wants and will individually customize the training. For instance, if a customer wants a rope horse, we will accentuate swinging ropes and exposure to cattle.

( Twister is the trainer and the sequence of training events in each horse will be determined from his experience and what is best for the horse....it is his judgment call on such issues. This is what you pay us for....experience and making sound judgements regarding your individual horses needs. We welcome customer participation in outlining a suitable program for your horse....we want you to understand your horse's individual needs. Thank you..... )

Horse Training 101 is: If you aren't raised on horses do yourself a favor & learn from others, get a coach.

We will accept a horse for a 30 day training period, but 90 days are usually best to build a firm foundation.
