Mike Sikorski Bio

Mike Sikorski BioMike Sikorski comes from 30 years of sales and senior sales management in various industries, primarily construction equipment. This sales and management background has helped Mike develop his communications and interpersonal skills that allow him effectively coach and guide his students.

Mike Sikorski did not grow up with horses, but with a city boy's dream of owning horses some day. In 1996 Mike moved to New Mexico and the first thing he did was buy his first horse, a 2-year-old unbroken Appaloosa. It did not take long for Mike to find out that he needed to learn more about horses, and quickly.

Over the last eleven years, Mike has studied with many leading horsemen including: Buck Brannaman, Ray Hunt, Tom Curtin, Aaron England, Pat Parelli, and Linda Parelli.

In 1998 Mike and his wife adopted 2 BLM Mustangs, and 3 weeks later were surprised by the addition of a foal. This began Mike's experience and enjoyment starting horses and his love of Mustangs. Since that time Mike has started many horses including other Mustangs, PMU mares, PMU foals, and your average young horses.

In addition to the horses, Mike also loves working with people, so he specializes in giving human lessons. His approach is to become a coach for his students and to encourage them to grow their relationship with their horse as much as they can — yet at their own pace.

The horse — human relationship, developing mutual respect so that the horse understands that it's good to be with the person and the person understands that it is safe to be with the horse. Mike helps students with the following:

• Conquering fear and building confidence in both student & horse
• Becoming a quiet confident rider
• Paying attention to the horse & what he is trying to tell you
• Not allowing crowding in order to gain and enjoy proper respect from the horse

Mike enjoys watching (and helping) his students and their horse's progress on to more advanced riding and horsemanship.
