Who is/are your favorite Big Name Trainer(s)?

PLEASE DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A SO-AND-SO IS BEST THREAD.

If the spirit moves you to be less than pleasant, please sit on your hands.

Me first! I love Lynn Palm, I've ridden in two of her week long clinics in Michigan. I also idolize George Morris.

Your turn!

As far as breaking things down for beginners to understand the theory and basic methods, I like John Lyons.

Alot of mine are dead and gone or not out in the spotlight to be BNT's. But, one who is still there is Ray Hunt.

Deceased is OK, too.

Ditto that. I love Tom Dorrance.

Modern Day Pleasure - I don't know anything about them and have never seen a clinic but the fact that they have so many older horses still going and so consistent, I have to think they are doing something right - Jason Martin and Charlie Cole.

Cleve Wells

Not that I have ever actually had to do any training...or riding...but I have always found John Lyons to have very simple explanations and methods that make sense right away to me. Subscribed to his magazine for two years, and enjoyed all of his training articles.

Never appreciated his religious spew at the beginning, but meh - I just skipped past it.

I have been to a Craig Cameron clinic and I liked him. He worked with a mare from the barn I leased from and I also got to meet him. That mare sure tested him but he made some progress. I also really like CA.
