"Making Horse Sense"
Link to Deseret News article by Dave Gagon, staff writer
Excerpt from article: '``To my knowledge it was Tom Dorrance who started Resistant Free Training,'' says Knudsen. ``Tom learned from the horse itself. He watched horses in their natural habitat, observing their behavior and duplicating that as a person.'' Today, Knudsen applies what he learned from Dorrance, along with techniques picked up or developed over the years as a trainer of professional show horses.'
