Welcome to Flattop Horsemanship
For more than two decades, Marty Gardner of Flattop Horsemanship has helped horse owners discover what's really standing between them and the results they're hoping to achieve with their horses.
Not by guessing at solutions, but by asking the right questions, listening carefully, and creating a plan that fits both horse and rider.
"I'm not looking to impress you with what I can do.
My goal is to impress you with what I can help YOU do."

Problem Solving
Jen Kennedy
“Marty has changed my world of horsemanship and I will be forever grateful. He has an outstanding ability to teach. After spending years, countless hours and dollars with 14 clinicians – I was still not able to solve my issue of not being able to get my horse to take the right lead. Marty solved this issue for me in our first lesson.”
Laura Laing
“What is most unique about Marty is his ability to identify areas to improve the partnership between horse and rider. His vast diversity and understanding of many different disciplines from classical dressage to Vaquero brings so much to those he teaches. Riding under the mentorship of Marty has helped elevate what we can get done and accomplish with our horses on our operation".
Leah Ogilvie
"There is such a genuine kindness, a true and honest desire to see others succeed and a quiet joy in just being present in the moment that radiates from under that flattop hat".
