Now based in Montreal, Canada, Richard grew up in Douglas, and worked on nearby ranches. He is an award-winning ferrier and former professional polo player. Richard now devotes his time to sharing his knowledge and expertise in the effective handling and training of horses. Richard will be offering his three-day horsemanship clinic on Friday, June 29th to July 1st at the Wyoming State Fairgrounds in Douglas. His techniques are based on the teachings of Buck Brannaman, Ray Hunt, and Tom Dorrance.
Horses have definite relationships within their herd.
They employ an observable and predictable communication system. Richard has developed an in-depth understanding of this communication system, which allows him, in essence, to become on the herd. Through a series of carefully designed exercises, you will learn a groundwork system that will revolutionized your relationship with your horse. By learning how they operate, how they learn, how they view their world, and how they interpret our signals, we can become far more effective in getting them to understand us and what we want. You can handle, train, and ride horses without this knowledge and understanding.
