Dennis Brouse: Building a Better Bond with Horses

Host of hit TV show “Saddle Up with Dennis Brouse” gave up the corporate world to develop simple and safe training techniques

When Dennis Brouse left the corporate world in the mid 1990s to dedicate himself to horses on a full-time basis, many people thought he had gone mad. After all, why would a businessman who had a family to take care of step away from his successful career?

But for Brouse this seemed like the only solution in overcoming his frustrations with the methods horse trainers were teaching him. The techniques seemed inconsistent, and he wasn’t seeing results.

“The more I got into it, the less it really worked,” said Brouse. “It got to a point where I was so frustrated that I almost gave up on horses.”

But instead of giving up, Brouse, who has been riding since the age of 14, decided to tackle his troubles head on. He sold his business and immersed himself completely in the world of horse training. He was relentless. He spent thousands of hours working on his own horses, as well as other people’s horses.
