A Lifetime Dedicated to Horses

Fred Fisher's passion for horses began with his very first ride and has shaped his life ever since. Originally from New Hampshire, Fred moved to Arizona as a teenager, where he immersed himself in every opportunity to ride, learn, and improve.

Rather than avoiding difficult horses, Fred sought them out. He studied accomplished trainers, observed countless horses, and developed an understanding of what creates willing, confident, and successful equine partners. Over the years, he has ridden hundreds of horses—including Arabians, Quarter Horses, Paints, and many other breeds—and has worked across a wide variety of riding disciplines.

With decades of hands-on experience, Fred has combined proven training principles with his own thoughtful, effective methods to help horses and riders build lasting partnerships.

Experience That Goes Beyond Training

Recognizing that soundness is the foundation of every successful horse, Fred also became a professional farrier. Through years of dedication and practice, he built a respected farrier business serving Phoenix and the East Valley.

His knowledge of hoof care, movement, and equine biomechanics provides a unique advantage for both the horses he trains and the owners he coaches. Healthy, comfortable horses perform better—and Fred understands how every aspect of their care contributes to long-term success.

A Practical, Proven Approach

People have long turned to Fred for help solving challenges with their horses. His strength lies in identifying what's missing, simplifying the process, and helping both horse and rider progress with confidence.

Fred's patient, consistent methods have produced successful results with horses of every age, breed, and experience level. From first-time riders to accomplished competitors, he helps each partnership develop the skills needed to succeed.

His philosophy is simple:

First, teach the horse how to learn.

Then establish a solid foundation of essential skills that every horse needs, regardless of breed, discipline, or previous training.

Once the horse understands those fundamentals, Fred teaches the rider how to communicate them effectively. He helps riders develop the mental picture, timing, and feel necessary for clear communication, allowing horse and rider to work together instead of against each other.

As both horse and rider gain confidence, their partnership grows stronger, making nearly any discipline or goal achievable.

Training for Every Goal

Whether your ambitions include:

• AQHA, APHA, or APHC competition
• Western or English performance events
• Open horse shows
• Trail riding
• Ranch riding
• Building a dependable family horse

Fred develops each horse with the same strong foundation before tailoring the training to its individual purpose and potential. This thoughtful, systematic approach creates confident, responsive horses that are enjoyable to ride and ready to perform with consistency, trust, and reliability.
