 A Big Country man has developed a unique method of training horses built around trust, love, and understanding.  Alan Mooney lives in Ovalo, and believes that it is important to develop a partnership with your horse, rather than demand behavior from the animal.  His program is called Horsebusters.

Alan does not use spurs or whips in training horses, but spends a lot of time bonding with the horses.  He tries to develop horses that are "centered" and in control of their emotions at all times.

Much of his training involves non-verbal communication between the trainer and the horse.  By the use of mutual body language, Mooney feels the partnership between horse and human can be strengthened.
