Welcome to Three Rivers Horse Training, LLC, located at the Grey Cliffs Ranch in Three Forks, Montana

"My true love and passion has always been horses, and I began riding before my feet hung past the skirt of the saddle. I was born in Arizona and raised in Illinois, where I started riding at a competitive show barn. Since, while also earning a bachelor's degree, I have worked throughout the West on ranches, as a backcountry guide, packing mules and starting and re-educating horses for both outfitting and rescue operations. Through this variety of experience I have been lucky to work with many different people, horses and mules, and each one has taught me so much. I'm so excited to have this opportunity to work out of such a wonderful facility and to continue to learn and grow from those around me, both equine and human, and hopefully return the favor!"
—Alex Mufson, Three Rivers Horse Training, LLC, Owner & Trainer

Alex focuses on foundation work, and aims for good, well-minded horses that can be taken in any direction, from ranch work to trail riding to the show ring. Achieving this willingness in a horse comes from allowing them the space to make decisions, rather than insisting that they shut out the situation. The goal is to present the horse with a number of fair options and the chance to try them all, and to set it up so that being and working with the person is the best one.

This kind of partnership requires attention to not only the horse's physical movements, but also to where their thought is, as the mind is what is directing the body. A horse that is focused on the task, whether that is a cow, a trail or a pattern, will necessarily set their body up to get it done. If the horse takes this responsibility upon themselves, the result is going to be softer, squarer and more productive than anything a rider could have ever forced.

With this philosophy, Alex welcomes all breeds and disciplines.
