"Tom Dorrance once said, 'You can learn anything with these three words – observe, remember, and compare.' He said that beyond that, learn to adjust to fit the situation. That always meant so much to me. The last time I was around Tom, he said, 'Don’t treat them like they are. Treat them the way you’d like them to be.' At the time, I didn’t know whether he was talking about horses or people. Later, I realized that he was talking about both. I remind myself of that from time to time. Because sometimes, people might come into a clinic defensive, scared, upset, or emotional. The best part of the person isn’t gonna come out the first day. But if I do my part and help them along, I get an opportunity to see the best part of the person as time goes by." - Buck Brannaman

Many world-renowned horsemen and clinicians look to Tom Dorrance as the man who 'started it all.' The man whose philosophy on horses and horsemanship revolutionised the way we look at this wonderful animal.

These DVDs contain hours of wisdom from Tom Dorrance himself - limited stock NOW ON SALE! 👇

“When riding count cadence with your horses feet. Do this when you are out on the trail, it will help you with your feel and timing. It is a simple thing, but it will take discipline on your part.
If you can get to the feet then maybe you could get to the mind, then maybe you could help to get the horse to let down. Maybe it would help you with leads etc. Maybe you could do the same on the ground as well. Horses learn to control each other through how they move each others feet. So there is a lot to this. This is not about dominance, maybe it is about learning to dance with each other, have a conversation with each other.” - David Stuart

🐎 Slobber straps, also known as Rein Leathers, attach the snaffle bit to the reins. They are designed to add weight to the end of the rein to slow the message from the hands to the horse's mouth, maximise feel and promote quick release for teaching the horse a soft feel.

Used with mecate (horseman’s) rope reins, they also allow the reins to be used as a lead rope. Ideal for younger horses and trail riding - where riding & dismounted work can be interchangeable, & leading and groundwork can be done without the need to swap to a halter.

“I am of the view that we need to continue to educate ourselves for our horses. I believe, that like the horse does not do things to be wrong, neither does the human. We often do not know how to be right for the horse. With experience and understanding we can often adjust to fit situations better.” - David Stuart

Make the Right Thing Comfortable with Bryan Neubert

Many times we find that horses have a side that they are comfortable with us on and a side that they would rather not have us. For many of us, knowing how to address this can be a difficult challenge. And, knowing that the horse is most likely imbalanced because he is unsure, addressing this issue without making him more unsure can be an even greater challenge.
