Mentors
‘ My Dad , Warren Backhouse , has been our biggest influence .’ Natasha says . ‘ He ’ s taught us a lot of what we know . He ’ s not just a Reining trainer , he ’ s a horseman . He ’ s taught us that every horse is different , and anything can be achieved with different horses . Having both of us come through the Reining industry and now with the Pleasure Horses , he still has his input into the training process .’
