Slowly we replaced sulkies with western saddles, trotters for the American Quarter Horses and became the students of the art of western horsemanship. I can honestly say that I\u2019ve been around horses and in saddle for all my life. <\/span><br \/>\n<span lang=\"en-us\"><br \/>\nI am a firm advocate of resistance-free approach to the horse, comprehensible and individually tailored way to teaching, with emphasis on feel, which we can only develop while working with horses. Every single day I want to go out and try to learn something new, which will help me with better understanding and cooperation with the horse. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-us\">I was very lucky to have parents who have been actively involved with AQHA activities in Slovenia and wider, so I was able to get a good insight in AQH industry. My parents also taught me, by example, the importance of moral values, ethic, integrity, respecting the rules and loyalty to the world\u2019s leading breeding organization. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-us\">All that helped me with becoming a member of the ECQHA organization team in 2014. It is a great honor to work and gather experience with experts in AQH industry. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-us\">In the autumn of 2017 I successfully defended my Bachelor thesis Use of genetic testing in Breed organizations of American Quarter Horses at the Biotechnical Faculty. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-us\">I am grateful to my family, friends, loyal customers and, last but not least, the DQHA, for their trust in me and support of my work and ambitions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vascerquarterhorses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_MARKO_aqha_02_960px.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vascerquarterhorses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_MARKO_aqha_02_960px.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span lang=\"en-us\">No gimmicks or special equipment, only commitment to understanding the horse.
