Kari Crawford's love of horses drove her to find the best, kindest way to interact with these creatures in a manner that is of the greatest benefit to both human and animal. She is well known for her work with problem horses, including wild mustangs and severely traumatized saddle horses. Her gentle, effective techniques have given many horses a second chance at a promising life with a human partner.
