"If you decide early and in advance where to go; the horse will then go there"

"The trained horse is one that understands the rider's intentions from his slightest indications and immediately responds to them with exactness, lightness and energy; he is sensitive to the leg and light on the hand."
Fort Riley, Kansas 1945
Horsemanship and Horsemastership

I did this video for a group about the California style bridle horse. About the use of the brace or neck rein and moving the shoulders. Appropriate for a finished (or nearly) California style stock horse.

This is a student of mine. Terre and her 22 year old gelding Journey.
A year ago Terre was too frightened to lope. She knew she was missing something. But her desire and determination was stronger than her fear.
Now every time I look around she is cantering like she’s whistling a tune. She has done the homework diligently and with commitment. All I did was keep encouraging her to try.
Now she is working on perfecting the transitions. Reaching beyond what she thought was possible a year ago.
I encourage people to lope/canter their horse.
Yes there is a lot of good work to be done at the walk and in the trot. But you will be missing the full range of motion a horse has to offer if you leave out the canter. It’s like riding only 2/3 of the horse.
Great job Terre! Best student ever!

Bio

Jim Groesbeck is first and foremost a horseman. He has been riding and training horses for 40 years. From pack strings in the mountains of the Sierras, to training champion performance horses.

Jim’s approach to horsemanship was greatly influenced early on by the work of the renowned horse master Ray Hunt. He has started young horses for working cow horse, reining, cutting as well as jumpers and dressage horses. Studying with an eclectic group of great horsemen and top Dressage trainers, Jim is always seeking more knowledge and blending that understanding into his training. Quarter horses, Arabians, Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds even Mustangs and mules have all been a part of his horsemanship history.

Besides his excellent training and instruction, Jim has achieved much success in the show world as well, winning a division championship at the Snaffle Bit Futurity in 1995, and long listed for the 1998 inaugural USET reining team. Currently he has received success and recognition in the International sport of Working Equitation. Working Equitation enabled him to improve the precision and correctness of his training, while maintaining his roots in the Stock Horse style of making the California Bridle Horse.

Jim believes that good horsemanship starts with feel, and an understanding of the principles of behavior and foundation training, which is adaptable to practically every form of riding. His teaching philosophy is simple. In the words of Ben Franklin:
