There are many out there today offering a variety of services, but Cal may stand alone as one who has a true understanding of the good and bad of the show horse arena reaching high levels of success himself, has real world experience on farms and ranches, and understands the depths of true horsemanship being able to teach it to others while always keeping the horses’ best interest in mind.

The HORSEMANSHIP class is a continuation of the foundation class. In the Horsemanship class, we start mounted and only do a small amount of groundwork if deemed necessary for safety. The class consists of gaining better control of our horses feet through feel, timing, and balance. We work on building confidence with our horses, and helping the riders and horses react favorably to stressful and exciting situations. We work on straightness, different forms of transitions, and ways of moving the hindquarters and the front end. Cal will take into consideration, the riders in each clinic and adjust accordingly. Those who are only able to attend the Horsemanship class are encouraged to come and audit the Foundation class at no extra cost, in order to have a deeper understanding of their horses.
