I have been training horses for over 30 years and value the western horse lifestyle in my approach to training. Giving clinics and seminars on how to reach your full potential with your horse through the training foundation of Cowboy Dressage makes me happier than a full breeze from a corn-eatin’ horse.

In these moments of creative expression, of harmony and partnership, my horse doesn’t care what I look like, what I am wearing, or what saddle I am in (as long as it fits); he cares about how I am sitting. He doesn’t really care how long my whip is, the style of my boots, or even the type of bit I use, or don’t use; he cares about how I use them.

In our own personal horsemanship journey, it is important to remember that we all have a belief in our horse. A belief we want to share with someone. Everyone wants to share their passion with other like-minded people. You are a part of ____add your own place____ where you are free to share that passion.

Membership into a world of horsemanship is just a belief that, together, you and your horse can do something great. Harmony and partnership between you and your horse and rider being the essence of what you should build.

Dutchess, my new rescued mare, “met” up with Patriot over the summer. In spite of the fact that she thinks she’s a little wild weanling in a great big mare’s body (when it suits her). In spite of the fact that she’s got a fat-Morgan’s-health-drama diagnosis, it looks like Patriot will add another part to his resume since they are expecting a June foal.

Giddy-up and have a great holiday with your four-footed gift!
