Nathan has been a John Lyons certified trainer since 1997. Shortly before graduating, he was offered a Head Trainer position at a ranch in Arizona. Upon completion of the program he kept one of the horses, this one being Zeeme. Nathan would use his spare time and spend it with Zeeme working on his biggest passion, reining. Having worked there only a short time, he moved back to Ohio to work on building his business from there. In time, Nathan moved from taking in client horses to strictly traveling. He began his traveling by offering such things as Private Lessons to Trailer Loadings. Nathan now includes in his services, along with the lessons and loadings, such things as clinics, symposiums, and 4-H demonstrations. He and his horse Zeeme, now travel to Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, as well as Ohio.

Nathan will be working our campers during the Pioneer Adventure Camp on June 14-19 and the Mustang Camp on August 2-7.
