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.

Well, finders keepers losers weepers—when you ride with an absence for formality, you begin to understand the movement of the horse; you can then begin to affect that movement. When you can feel the movement of the horse—balancing yourself on top of the horse through all of its movements—you are now in a position as a rider to be able to listen to the horse through the seat and communicate to the horse. It is a lifelong pursuit to educate your horse, and it is a lifelong pursuit to develop your seat. Get out on the trail and feel that rhythm! A change is as good as a holiday.
carry the same rhythm throughout their own body. Stiff riders with stiff seats do not understand what their horses are doing. During my youth (so long ago), my horse and I spent a lot of time in competitions. It was like closing the barn door after the horse bolted because unfortunately, I have spent years unlearning many of the things that I was taught during that time. One was to focus on holding a very formal position–very still, stoic and stiff–in my seat, rather than focusing on being relaxed and free with an emphasis on moving with the rhythm of the horse.
