"Advancing
your Horsemanship is a continual process. We are all students of the
horse as he is the best teacher. He will tell us where he has gaps
and where we do as riders or trainers. He will tell us his fears as
well as tell us our own. He will tell us when we are clear and when
we are not. Listen carefully, he is honest, he is the reflection of
you."
This
DVD is provides a "clinic in a box" experience for you to become
a better rider for you and your horse. Read more info on his online store,

through education, practice, and patience. I hope you find this site
useful in your quest to building a true partnership with your horse. The
site is new and will grow over time adding fresh content through articles,
videos, and educational tips. Please check it out - I'd love to hear from
you!
“Steve
also has the talent to see into the mind of a person just as he does a
horse. Through his instruction he is able to read the person as well as
the horse. He knows how far he can push them to make them succeed above
the level they are on. He has the instructional skills, personality, and
knowledge to take the rider to their top level. He never shies away from
the truth which keeps the rider and the horse in a successful mode at all
times. He knows if the horse is ready and if the rider is ready.
“
I am in an entirely new realm thanks to this man. Through being able to
put my complete trust in him, I was able to build the confidence I needed
to learn how to work with my horse… It is hard for me to put into words
what he means to the horses and the people around them but if there is
anyone that deserves recognition for what they do, Steve Lantvit is that
horseman.”
“I
have both audited as well as participated in Steven's clinics. Steven is
not only an accomplished horseman and trainer, but he has a way of
communicating and connecting with people that makes him an outstanding
instructor. He is 100% a professional, but still casual to the point that
you feel very comfortable under his tutelage. Steven has helped me advance
my horsemanship, has made my horse better, and I would not hesitate to
recommend him to anyone looking to expand their horsemanship horizons.”
“His
knowledge of horses, horsemanship and people is evident and his desire to
share that knowledge is contagious. Although the clinic was full and the
demands on him were great, Steve took the time to patiently answer every
question with attention to detail. Maybe the most impressive thing about
Steve's teaching style was his willingness to get on my horse or any other
horse in the clinic and actually demonstrate true horsemanship. Steve was
always willing to stay after class and answer any questions or work
through any problems we were having.”
The Best Wound Care Product - Endorsed by Steve
Lantvit:
Banixx™ is the most fabulous product I've ever
used in terms of wound care," says Lantvit. "Both my clients and
I have been very impressed with the speed of healing it produces, its ease
of use, and it's versatility." Lantvit adds that he's very
old-fashioned when it comes to the products he uses and recommends to his
clients. "I would never want to be associated with a product or a
method I didn't truly believe in," says Lantvit. "I don't
believe in gimmicks or quick-fixes. Banixx™ is a product that has both
the science and the passion of its developers behind it, and I'm very
proud to have the company as a sponsor."
Steve Lantvit's Feeding Program of Choice:
At our facility, we have fed "recipes" with a base feed with
various amounts of many supplements to satisfy the nutritional and energy
needs of our animals. As we did this we struggled to have an even
temperament while attempting to maintain ideal body condition. Feeding
KentDynasty® Secure
and Sentinel™ GX (Grow & Excel Formula) has given us the correct nutritional
needs, met the work load of the horses while maintaining the ideal
temperament. It's meeting our needs and has taken the guess
work out of our feeding program. My personal as well as clients horses
have never looked and performed so well. I am so pleased that Kent
products have satisfied the nutritional needs of all the horses in the
barn and its no surprise that horses returning home after training are
continued on the Kent program by their owners. Thank you Kent for such superior
products.
