Torwood Resort loves horses, and consequently has a great tradition of working with horses and a great Equestrian Centre.

The training program used at Torwood is the Doug Mills "Training Thru Trust" program.  Torwood has been using Doug Mills natural horsemanship program for years.  A little more about the program, as taken from the Doug Mills website (www.trainingthrutrust.com):

Doug Mills has built his training skills and riding abilities over a lifetime of horsemanship. Being born and raised on a working cattle ranch in Prince, Utah, offered Doug a lifestyle that gave him the opportunity to observe horses and their instincts in their natural environment. This is the key to Doug's ability to read and communicate with horses. Doug credits many clinicians and trainers for the success of his program, but the horse is still his most influential teacher.

With his wife, Lynette and four children, (Kale, Kade, Kaylee, and Kelcie) he moved to British Columbia, Canada as a farrier and horse trainer in 1989, where he has continued to build his "Training Thru Trust" program. His two sons, now in their twenties, also train horses using the Doug Mills method.

Doug has a slew of success stories. After more than a decade of teaching horses and riders in workshops and one on one sessions in CAnada, United States and Europe. These include futurity wins, international national championships also Gold Medals in reining, working cow horse, rodeo, western pleasure, western riding, trail, showmanship, hunter under saddle, jumping, pleasure driving and dressage.

Doug is very passionate about sharing his knowledge with people, so that horses can overcome their "people problems". See for yourself why so many people around the world have become so inspired by the simplicity of his program, and the confidence and skills they have developed to become better leaders, confidence builders, and good omunicators with their equine partners.
