About Robert & Janet

The relationship between a horse and its owner can be one of the most fulfilling in existence.

Robert and Janet Phinney's lifelong passion for horses flows through their teaching. Horses have been a part of both Robert and Janet's lives since childhood, and that has continued to this day. It is the love of horses that brought both of them together. It is their dedication to the horse and each other that has given birth to Coyote Mountain Ranch, and their desire to share horses and the learning of horsemanship with others.

Drawing upon their relationships with mentors Buck Brannaman, Greg Eliel, the late Ray Hunt, Nancy Thacher and the late Tom Dorrance. Robert and Janet focus on situations where horses and humans learn from each other. They encourage participants to work with the natural instincts and abilities of their horses.

The best way to predict the future is to create it. (Peter Drucker)
