Who is Kyle?
Kyle Rothfus (aka the OTTB Mare Guy) is known for his training philosophy that relies on establishing relaxation and a strong connection from the ground to result in a greater working relationship under saddle. Kyle is a Level 3L Certified Harmony Horsemanship instructor and a multi-year RRP Thoroughbred Makeover competitor. In 2017 he was honored as the RRP Thoroughbred Makeover Ambassador.
Kyle's calm yet upbeat approach will give you great insight into ways you can develop a stronger connection with your horse resulting in a horse that consistently responds with "yes."
Kyle has a competitive background in Mountain Trail Challenge, Classical Dressage, and Western Dressage, and he teaches regular lessons and clinics in building confidence, strengthening connection, trailer loading and Dressage fundamentals.

"Pay What You Can"
Kyle realizes that owning a horse can be very expensive, and he doesn't want that to get in the way of developing a truly safe and trusting relationship with your horse. He believes everyone deserves the feeling of connection with their horses regardless of their financial situation.
How Does it Work?
- Do you have a venue located within 200 miles of Toledo, Ohio willing to host for free?
- Possibility for venues more than 200 miles from Toledo, Ohio if travel is reimbursed.
- 1-day clinic for a minimum of 4 and maximum of 10 horses.
- Possibility to extend to 2 days if overnight accommodation is provided.
- Unlimited auditors.
- A blank payment amount field on the clinic registration form allows you to input whatever you are able/willing to pay, even if that amount is $0. Because this is handled in advance of the clinic on a secure online form, it remains private.
- Auditors can attend following the same "pay what you can" method.
- For any money received:
- 50% is donated directly to Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare Inc. This is the non-profit organization that transitioned Kyle's 2018 and 2019 Thoroughbred Makeover horses from racing in Puerto Rico to Kyle's farm in Ohio.
- The other 50% will be applied directly to the care of Kyle's 2019 Makeover mare Worthy of Wings. She will be available for sale after the Makeover, and Kyle will set her price based on her actual expenses, so funds received through clinics will help lower her sale price.
- Popular clinic topics to consider:
- Relaxation and Connection
- Working at Liberty
- Confidence and Obstacles
- Limited availability of dates.
