Frank and Mary Norton own and operate Triple G Ranch in Putnam, IL. The team offers training for both horse and rider, as well as boarding services.

Frank has over 20 years of experience handling horses and has been a full-time trainer for 9 years. While there are many disciplines of horsemanship such as Natural Horsemanship and Vaquero Horsemanship, Frank believes that good horsemanship is just that - good horsemanship. Every horse is unique, what works for one horse might not work for the next.

Learning to Accept New Challenges

Mary's skill with people stems from 30 years of nursing experience and transfers into a special patience and kindness with horses. Together, they focus on using gentleness and patience to start colts, address problem horses, and provide advanced training. Frank considers it a privilege to prepare a horse for its first ride and looks at the process as an educational experience. "You wouldn't want to send your kids to school to break 'em, you want them to learn." It is the same way with a horse.
