Charles
Wilhelm is internationally known as America’s most respected horse
trainer. His unique approach to horse training enables horse owners
to train their own horses.
He is
the creator of Ultimate Foundation Training®;
equine training techniques that combine the best of traditional,
classical and natural horsemanship into a methodology that is
applicable to every riding discipline. His extensive background of
over thirty five years of training includes Dressage, Working Cow
Horse, Reining, Western Pleasure and Trail class. He is one of the
few clinicians of our time who is known for his superb skills in
communicating and motivating people as well as his astounding
natural abilities with the horse. He believes that “It’s Never, Ever
the Horse’s Fault” and his training methods reflect that belief.
Charles is one of the few trainers specializing in re-schooling
horses with often-severe issues.
His
relaxed, warm and amusing character has made him a great favorite at
clinics and demonstrations. We receive hundreds of letters and
e-mail each year commenting on how approachable Charles is for his
audience, and how much practical information participants took home
and were able to use with their own horses successfully – seeing
results right away. His motto “Success Through Knowledge" reflects
this training philosophy that the owner should learn alongside the
horse.
Charles
can be seen weekly on RFDTV. Charles also writes monthly columns for
Riding Magazine, Ride! Magazine, Northwest Rider, U.S. Horse Market
and Thoroughbred Digest. His book
“Building Your Dream Horse” was published in 2005 and his new
book “Starting Baby” will be out in 2006. He also offers an ongoing
series of educational DVDs.
He performs clinics and demonstrations at national and regional
venues such as Equine Affaire, Horse World Expo, Ride the West,
Equine Experience, The Mane Event, Midwest Horse Fair and Western
States Horse Expo. He has also been on radio programs with Jim
Campbell and Rick Lamb. He has been a featured speaker at U.C. Davis
Horse Days Symposium for four years.
His
training facility in Castro Valley, California is among the top
equine educational institutions in Northern California. With thirty
to thirty five horses in training on a regular basis the facility
offers extensive hands-on learning programs for every level of
horsemanship, from novice through trainer. He specializes in working
with beginning and returning women riders between the ages of 35 and
55, his
"Women's Horse Camp" is a favorite of clients. Apprenticeships
and HORSEMANSHIP programs occur on a year-round basis as well as one
to three day clinics scheduled several times a year. Onsite client
work with Charles includes colt starting, with the bulk of the
practice focused on problem horses.
