I just want to send you a note to thank you for the wonderful job you did on riding our horse. You exposed him to so many things, but most of all, he now has manners! He's a dream to ride. I'm sorry it took me so long to hire you. I'd heard about you from a mutual friend, but my animals are my world and I don't trust them with just anyone. I saw what you did with a horse that our first trainer said was a killer and very dangerous. He was totally wrong. I've watched you for several years ride and I like your calm approach. You definitely speak their language. I am truly impressed with "Bob" now. I have to be careful who I ride because I've had three back surgeries, but I am ready to ride "Bob" anytime. I would and have recommended you to several people. Thanks again!

I have known Bill for almost 5 years now. He took a problem horse that I had and trained him to be well-mannered and a horse that even a beginner can ride. Bill still owns that horse. He traded me a horse named Jack's Irish Spice that he had trained and owned from a foal. I rode her the first year and showed her and won 5 first place ribbons in halter, showmanship, walk trot, trail, and western pleasure. I can take her anywhere and she will go whatever direction I point her. She loads great in the trailer and is great for the farrier and will stand tied for hours with no issues. I also let beginners ride her without worry. Bill is very light with his hands and very patient and knows when to ask more of a horse. He can tell in the first few rides the horse's potential and will be honest about the horse being a good fit for you. He knew Cowboy (now named Skip) was not the right horse for me and he was right. I would not hesitate to recommend Bill to train any horse as he has the skills and knowledge to achieve the goals for your horse and you as a rider.

I highly recommend Bill to anyone! He had all three of my girls age 3, 6, and 9 for riding lessons and he did AMAZING! He was patient and explained everything so well. He took his time and didn’t rush anything. I loved his explanation of teaching them the horse “from the ground up”. I couldn’t be more happy with Bill and his gentle giant Skip! My girls can’t wait to go back for our next riding session!! If you are looking for someone who not only is an expert with horses but has the heart of a teacher look no further than Bill!!

"I can't say enough how amazing Bill is! This colt of mine holds a very special place in my heart and it was hard for me to leave him. I dropped off a "problem child" 2-year-old colt and he came back as a calm, willing HORSE! Bill helped us both every step of the way from training, lessons, nutrition, and keeping me updated. He treats the horses he trains as if they are his own and his care is remarkable. Bill has a true gift!"

Bill was gracious enough to take on our two horses we adopted from a rescue. Shasta (age 16) was broke to ride, but was mainly a brood mare. I took her on a few trail rides and decided she needs a tune-up. I needed to understand her after riding a gelding for the last 21 years. Bill did an awesome job with her! She now has ground manners! She responds to leg cues. Our other rescue was an older grade gelding we had no history on. He was broke to lead and that was it. He hated being touched and would not stand tied. Within 2 weeks Bill had him standing quietly to be groomed. By the end of 60 days he was being ridden in the round pen. They developed an awesome bond. We can't thank Bill enough for what he has done.

My horse Billy used to pull back. I was told my another trainer that there are too many good horses to bother with this one. Bill had him for only a week. Problem solved!

Numerous individuals have horses to sell, and their goal is to hype their horse. However, few horse sellers find the correct fit for horse and human. This synergetic relationship is essential for growth with rider and horse. I have been in the horse business for over 50 years and have experienced two different individuals who have taken the time to watch me ride, and then match a horse with my ability. Bill Baughman is one of those two trainers. I live in Winterset, Iowa, and I have spent the last 6 months looking for a trail horse. Within weeks of contacting Bill, he assessed my strengths and weaknesses as a rider and found a perfect horse for my needs. Life is so much better, when we find people along the way that can help us with our goals. If you are looking for a horse, I would strongly recommend giving his facility a chance to assist in your horse buying needs.

Bill is an exceptional trainer. He worked with our young horse recently and we will continue using RQ Horsemanship in the future as well. It was a positive experience for both us AND our horse. Bill has an amazing rapport with horses. His methods are impressive and the horse learns in an environment that produces results. Can't wait for the days ahead with Cruze (our horse)! Thank you, Bill!
