After reading "The 3 R's of Horsemanship", it is very obvious to me that Tom Lutton
is at a high level of teaching and understanding the instruction for all riders. This is a book that I highly recommend with
a wealth of time tested knowledge. I am proud to have Tom as one of my Resistance FreeŽ Instructors and I predict this will
be one of the books on horses that will help horse owners for many years to come."

"Our daughter, Lea, has been competing in shows for years. She is a capable rider with a good horse; they just could not
get it together. It was to the point we thought she might get hurt. We noticed that all the riders that Tom brought to the
shows were under control and doing well. Through lessons and exercises Tom is giving Lea the knowledge and skill she needs
to be successful. When a problem arises he works her through it. This past summer Lea was invited to the State and Interstate
competitions. This opportunity was because of Tom and the Resistance Free Training Program."

“I have been in education for over 30 years as a teacher and administrator. I can recognize those that have the gift
for teaching others. Tom Lutton has that gift. He has the ability to communicate with students of all ages and levels of experience
and create a situation where learning takes place. Take those skills...add his expertise with horses...and you have a great
combination. I recommend Tom with no reservations. He will help you know the difference between "going on a horse ride"...and learning to "ride a horse".

“
Tom is just an exceptional horse trainer. My 3-year old Arabian is a handful and
he just works so patiently with him. I have absolute confidence in his resistance free training techniques. My horse is in
good hands and the results are showing.”

“When I started taking lessons from Tom Lutton, I thought I was an average/intermediate rider; I had had several
years of riding lessons on the East Coast that I thought were pretty good . . . what has astounded me in working with Tom
is how much I had never been taught before! I quickly realized I had a lot to learn (or relearn) - and this has been exciting
(rather than daunting). I'm very grateful to learn how to communicate with - and respect - my horse in ways I never realized
were possible. Working with Tom is an enriching and amazing experience.”
