Least Resistance Training Concepts (LRTC) is a non-profit
corporation founded by Willis and Sharon Lamm of California
for the purpose of researching and sharing humane and effective
techniques for gentling and training horses, mules and donkeys.
While one of LRTC's primary focal points is to improve the quality of life
for adopted wild horses and burros by providing practical training
information and free mentoring assistance, our intended beneficiaries
include all horses, regardless of origin, as well as their owners.
The reason we chose the name "Least Resistance" is that our
training development goals are aimed toward a training environment
which produces the desired results with a minimum of stress and conflict
with the horse. We're not trying to change the nature of the horse,
but instead create situations where his natural instincts and responses
will be productive and contribute to the learning process.
LRTC is a product of the
KBR Horse World training website, the former
LIFE Foundation Wild Horse Mentors, the accumulative efforts
of numerous volunteers and volunteer service agreements with public
agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM.)
The projects we are involved in include:
- Mentoring wild horse adopters
- National and regional horse gentling workshops
- Regional least resistance training workshops
- Internet based training support
- Proactive interdiction for troubled adoptions
- Placement assistance for horses needing readoption
- Temporary housing for BLM horses

This is a "grass roots" project. Programs and services are
offered at no cost whenever possible. Fees that are charged
are based on actual costs to put on programs. No person in
the organization is paid for his/her work. Office space,
most office expenses and housing for recovered BLM animals
are donated by the Lamms and KBR.
Additional expenses for such items as insurance, materials
and supplies and program costs which are not recovered by
user fees are funded in several ways:
