"I never fault anybody for
being last and not knowing
much. But if they don't have
any try or have any guts or
determination, not only are
they not going to get any
good with horses, they're not
going to be good at
anything." - Buck Brannaman

Spirits first show at the Elko fair.
It didn't go quite as planned but not bad for a ranch horse and practicing in a hayfield.
You don't need the fanciest horse or the fanciest facilities to compete.
Sometimes you've gotta make the best with what you've got.
I would rather try and fail, than stay in my comfort zone.

HORSEMAN
There are horse trainers, horse traders and horse whisperers. There are show men, show boaters and show offs. There are fast talkers and would be magicians.

But then there are true Horsemen and Horsewomen, and these are harder to find and sometimes even harder to recognize because they are often tucked away in quiet hidden places, working slowly and silently without national recognition or appreciation.

Often times, the true horseman or woman does not have the most horses in training or those horses that are exceptionally bred or high priced. Often times, the true Horsemen and Women do not have access to big money owners or run through dozens and dozens of prospects in order to find the few that can take the pressure of aged event prize money or high profile exhibition. Many times, the true horsemen and women are slow and steady, methodical and patient, training on an individual horse's timeline and not to a rigid show schedule set by the seasons or show management.

These people recognize a horse's physical and mental capabilities and showcase their assets without sacrificing their bodies or minds. Horsemen and women take their time developing their horses' skills and confidence through a traditional steps, one before the next, placing just as much credence in their teaching relationship and equine partnership as they do in show pen results. Horsemen and women are humble because their reward comes from within; from knowing that they have taught through kindness, patience, fortitude, and logic. Their rewards coming from creating a confident horse that works with them and not for them, horses that are not scared or intimidated, horses with solid foundations that last season after season and that carry a gamut of riders from the experienced non pro to the Amateur to the Green Reiner. Always Dedicated. Always Patient. Always Consistent. Whether it be riding young horses, resurrecting older horses, or maintaining the Steady Eddy, a True Horseman is one of the first ones to throw a leg over in the morning and one of the last ones to pull their boots off in the evening.
Horsemen and women are a pleasure to watch in the arena or on the ranch as they diligently and patiently impart their knowledge and logic to both horses and students.

In an era where the horse industry is so economically driven and success is measured primarily in prize money and accolades, the tradition of the true horseman and the process of training horses seems to be changing; giving way to an assembly line mentality where immediate success and financial compensation take precedence over handcrafted quality and longevity. Dedicated to their craft, loyal to their students, ambitious, hardworking and a role model for anyone interested in making their way in an industry dominated by pressure to build great animals in less and less time, old fashioned horsemen are women are now Artisans, assets to our heritage and traditions and harder and harder to find.

A thoughtful teacher, a thorough instructor, a gentle hand, a firm guide, a rational yet fearless showman, the greatest compliment that I think could ever be given to someone who works with horses, is to be thought of as a Horseman.

"It's the control of the feet through the mind that a person [should be] after. If you've missed that on the ground, [from] the start, why you've missed the part that means the most to the horse, The person should be focused on getting the best possible connection with the horse on the ground through feel - if they want to have those parts of the horse available to them when they ride." -Bill Dorrance

"The horse is very sensitive. He can feel a fly land on him. I know you all know this, because you put fly spray on your horses. He can feel a fly land on him, yet you're tugging on him, pulling on him like he weighs a million pounds. You're not working with what nature gave you; you're DESTROYING what nature gave you." - Ray Hunt

Thoughts of Tom Dorrance

18/06/2024

It's a matter of timing... to approach a horse with a so-called philosophy where you wait til the horse does something wrong and then you beat on him or punish him afterwards - it's not even logical. Yet the horse isn't so different from us in order to learn, you have to make mistakes. Then you re-calibrate, make a decision, try something different and try again. And the idea with a horse is when you see things going in the wrong direction, then you redirect his mind. You don't wait for him to get into trouble, you try to keep him out of trouble, Parenting is very similar - you know a long time before something's going to go wrong, so if you redirect them and you're going to be the parent and help to guide them, there's no reason you should have to beat on a kid (or a horse) to get him to respond to you."

Ranch c**t I named "Licks".
I've got a few rides on him now.
He's very reactive but we are becoming friends!

Tom Dorrance once said:

"Don't treat them the way they are.
Treat them the way you'd like them to be

At the time, I wasn't sure if he was talking about people or horses.
Later, I realized he was talking about both. " - -Buck Brannaman

Exposing colts to the ropes is a huge part of my ground work!

🦄☮️

☮️🦄🩵

I could listen to this sound all day!

Kestrel at work!🩵🦄☮️

☮️🦄💛

Having control of the hindquarters allows you to take control when a colt gets lost or spooked. Ground work pays off when you climb on their back. ☮️🩵🦄 Kestrel a 5yr old Mustang.

"Kestrel" coming up to me on the fence. No halter. No force. Just a true connection and FEEL. It's amazing what a horse will do for you when there is a bond.☮️🩵🦄

Not very often does a person get to push 2,000 head of cows. I sure love my job and the things I get to experience daily. ✌🏻☮️🦄

Horsemanship begins with partnership, not dominance. - Tom Dorrance.
