Don't miss the fun stories told by Vaughn and illustrated by Kim at the bottom of the page on each lesson! This is one of the most powerful and influential statements that I have ever heard: In order to be understood, first we must understand. And believe me I've heard and read a lot of motivational and positive statements. But I know that one of the most important things about being a horse trainer is learning how to live in the horse’s world. I know that if we want the horse to understand us, first it is our obligation to know exactly what makes the horse tick and function. We must live in the horse’s world rather than insisting that they live in ours. We don't travel to Spain and expect everyone to speak our language. Instead, in order to have a good experience in that country, we learn to understand their language. 2 for 1 Special Value! You get Course Levels One and Two as a package for the same price! Vaughn Knudsen's Compass Horsemanship Academy This method of horsemanship is for those who are seeking a deeper understanding. For those who want a deeper connection with their horse. I have spent a lifetime learning from the best horsemen in the world, and also from the best teacher of horsemanship - the horse. The training methods offered in the Compass Horsemanship Academy courses work by design. Each training concept works with the way a horse is designed physically as well as the way the horse is designed mentally and emotionally. The methods are different than those offered by the majority of the horse training world. This is because the concepts teach us to communicate with the horse in his world rather that expecting him to understand the human world. I do not offer any horse training methods to you which will not stand the test of time. I am excited to work with you and your horse on your journey towards greater understanding and better horsemanship! -Vaughn Knudsen Your Instructor Vaughn Knudsen Vaughn Knudsen grew up in the Elko, Nevada area on his Father’s working cattle and horse ranch. Vaughn rode and trained horses for many years with Tom and Jim Dorrance where he gained a strong foundation for his horse training. Born with a passion to try to understand what makes a horse tick, Vaughn has spent the past 40 years of his life in search of those answers. He has trained and shown horses in the American Quarter Horse Association and the American Paint Horse Association for over 30 years. Vaughn was responsible for the training and showing of 15 horses to their APHA and AQHA Championships. Vaughn has also trained and shown horses to earn World and Reserve World Titles as well as money won at major NRHA Competitions.

With 40,000 people in attendance, Knudsen was the keynote speaker at the Minnesota Horse Expo. He has taught numerous private clinics across the country. In his workshops, Vaughn teaches how to reorganize the energy balance within the horse, how to develop a deep inner connection with the horse and changing fear to curiosity, along with how to lock in a spin, build a sliding stop, lead changes, and loping round circles on a loose rein. Vaughn Knudsen has published horse training videos, written a book, offers an online horsemanship academy, and has developed and patented new horse training products.
