Wes – This is my third lesson with you and I always feel very good about myself and my horse when you finish. You have a special gift working with horses and their owners. I have taken many lessons in the past (riding only), but the way you teach is a much more meaningful experience. My only regrets are that you live too far away and I cannot work with you weekly to improve my driving. I will be signing up for the next lesson though. I can hardly wait!! Thanks again, for inspiring, encouraging and caring about me and my horses.

Wes Licht has a magical way with horses…and the people who own and love them. I would recommend him as a trainer to anyone who truly cares about their horse and wants the best result. Wes is confident, firm, caring and very fair and accomplishes a great deal in a very short period of time. His timing for correction or praise is impeccable. The horse instantly recognizes him as the leader and learns quickly under his tutelage. He works equally well with the owner and makes each step understandable in a non-intimidating way. He instills confidence in both horse and owner and the end result is a “well-matched team.” He stands behind his work and is always willing to help if any problems arise after the horse leaves for home. I can’t recommend him enough!

Wes has been a great help to me over the last three years. He has trained my horse, who was very green, so I could safely drive him. I have taken many driving lessons with him. Wes is a gifted teacher and always willing to help you out. Wes has provided me wise counsel on equipment purchases and then how to safely hook it up and drive. He even taught me how to safely load my horse into a trailer. Wes introduced me to distance driving which has been a wonderful experience for both horse and man. My horse and I have come a long way in three years. Thanks Wes, I couldn’t have done it without you!

My daughter and I had a great time with our minis [at the Northwoods Harness Club clinic]. The driving lesson my daughter took with Wes was exactly what she needed. It was pretty much her first time really driving by herself. He gave her some wonderful tips and really boosted her confidence, not only in herself, but in our mini, Smokey. She was doing so well driving that in the afternoon she did the obstacle course by herself. I was very proud of her. My lesson with my mini, Cody, was equally successful. Taking a green horse to that next step of preparing to hitch was something I needed help with. Wes showed me some great exercises to do before I hitch for that first time.

Wes, as you know, we have had many lessons with you and we would like to thank you for being a wonderful teacher and horseman. With our recent trip to the 4H State Horse expo we put all the good training to use. The girls did fantastic and we attribute this to you! We came home with 4 top tens and a Grand Champion in reinsmanship. We love to come to your clinics and lessons because the kids enjoy learning from you. You are very special to us.

Wes – thanks so much for all your great work at the driving event last weekend. Every time I have instruction with you I learn so much. I appreciated the tandem help.
