simple ways to improve their horse's gait  while riding down the trail. Clinic is
designed to help equine enthusiasts with  training and riding their horses in
the most comfortable gait. In 2006 and 2008,  Debbie gave a clinic at
Bookcliff Walkers and over 50 people showed up  for each clinic. Sign up early to
participate in this clinic, or come and  audit the clinic to learn more about the
gaited horses. 
Debbie started with TWH by going to  a clinic with Joe Webb back in the early
 70's in Arkansas. Then she worked with the  Starwood Ranch in Aspen.  
Garfield trained many 2 and 3 yr. olds  that were part of this study. They had
close to 30 mares and 4 or 5  stallions. Garfield trained for them for almost 3 
years and then they moved the study to Utah.  She has been in business for
herself  most of 38 years. Garfield has been to numerous  clinics herself for
TWH's and learned the gaits of  the other breeds from the breed associations and
shows.  She has shown TWH's since 1970, and many of the  other  gaited breeds
shortly after  that.  Garfield did work for a padded barn 1  year to find out
for herself if in fact that you can train them without causing  them pain. 
Garfield did not like any part of that  type of training, and have since then
only trained pleasure horses for show,  trail, driving, and versatility. Garfield
has trained several Supreme  Versatility Champions, has done clinics in
Canada and the US.  She has shown at the  International in Tennessee 4 times, had horses place  high in most classes. A 2 yr old from the farm that she trained
for in Palisade,  Co. won the 2 yr old Class at the International. Garfield has
devoted her life to  training gaited horses without gimmicks or devices. 
These horses are her  passion. Garfield served on the THWBEA  Board of Directors
for a total of  nine years.  As  gaited  horses have gained popularity with
the mid-aged trail riders that want to move  out and ride without the bounce of
the trot. Many people that are recovering  from back and knee surgeries are
often turning to a smooth gaited horse.
