Steve's Teaching/Training Philosophy is to build confidence in both the horse and the rider and by doing so create a partnership that will succeed.

Steve's training is especially geared towards Eventing. Since strong event competitors are required to develop defined skills in Dressage, Cross-Country and Stadium Jumping, his teachings always encompass the differences, the similarities and how the three equestrian formats relate and interact.

In the past ten years, Steve has qualified nearly a dozen times for the regional championships and has successfully placed in the ribbons (including Reserve Champion) on four occasions on three different horses.

Steve's students, however, are the proof of his training efforts and methods. Over sixty horse and rider combinations have qualified for the Area IV and VIII Regional Championships in the past decade. On ten occasions they have placed in the ribbons including four Reserve Champions. These are impressive accomplishments considering they are competing against riders from nearly half a dozen states.

Students of Winsom Farm have also been crowned Illinois State 4H Hunter and Dressage Champion and Reserve Champions, IDCTA Show Series Dressage and Combined Training Champions and Reserve Champions. IHJA State Reserve Champions and several Indiana and Illinois local jumper show champions and reserve champions.
