Aaron's Biography

Aaron England has had a lifelong passion to learn what makes a horse tick.  From a young boy competing in 4-H to a young man earning a rodeo scholarship from Cochise College in Arizona where he earned an Associate's of Science Degree in Equine Science and Management, Aaron continued to search for better understanding of the horses' mind. 

Aaron's quest for more knowledge led him into many areas of horse-related activities.  He was president of several horse clubs and was a junior rodeo all around champion in his youth.  He supported his horse activities and furthered his education by working for horseman Bud Eipper on the C-E Cutting Horse Ranch and Bud continues to serve as a mentor and support Aaron to this day.  After college, Aaron gained further experience as the assistant farm manager and stallion handler at Dan Dar Farm, a race horse training and breeding facility in Washington state.

Returning to Arizona, Aaron and his father began a boarding, training and breeding program on their ranch near Tombstone.  Standing a well-bred cutting horse stallion, Docs True Grit owned by Bud Eipper, Aaron continued to learn and attended many programs in Equine Science from the University of Arizona, In 1996, he attended a Pat Parelli "Natural Horsemanship" demonstration and there saw the level of communication, trust and understanding with horses that he had been looking for.  Putting all else aside, Aaron began his four-year journey in developing his skills in Pat's program.  Working with countless horses and under Pat's tutoring, Aaron achieved his goals in Natural Horsemanship and became a Three Star Instructor, Certified Colt Starter and Difficult Horse Training Certifications.

With the Natural Horsemanship certifications completed, Aaron choose to branch off and became independent.  As a result he developed a new program "England's Versatile Horsemanship" which focuses on helping students achieve an accelerated rate of learning finesse with their horses.  Aaron is exclusive in his training philosophies in that he is using "Natural" training techniques to develop horses for competition at the highest levels of competition.

To continue the development of his new program, and to further his quest for additional knowledge in horsemanship,  Aaron moved to Kerrville, Texas to the Leon Harrel Training Stables in 2002.  As one of the world's leading cutting horse trainers, Leon allowed Aaron to build a solid foundation for a training program that offers both horses and riders a level of trust, communication and ability to compete at any level.   Simultaneously, Leon was able to learn about the "Natural" techniques that Aaron uses, and has applied that philosophy to some of his young colts and difficult horses.

After completing his studies with Leon Harrel in 2004, Aaron began his International Learning Center in Goldthwaite, Texas.  At the ILC today, Aaron is putting his dream into practice by training quality Cutting Horses for competition using his unique Natural Training Methods.  Additionally, Aaron uses the ILC as a teaching facility for Natural Horsemanship and Natural Cow Working.
