Jonathan Field Horsemanship 2021

by

Canadian horseman, Jonathan Field, will present a clinic at Cottonwood Creek Equestrian Center in Cottonwood, California from November 5th through the 7th, 2021.  Jonathan has an inspiring story of his journey from oil field driller to master horseman and he has taken all of those experiences and packaged them into a program called Inspired by Horses.  The program is “designed to teach owners how to become excellent horsemen and women, and overcome any fears” that they, “horse and human, may be experiencing.”

From Cottonwood Creek’s website:

Jonathan refers to his program as Inspired by Horse® because it is the horses that inspired him to develop it.  Teaching you to think the way a horse thinks keeps your horse interested in you, allowing you to gain access to something very special – the ultimate relationship with a horse.

With Jonathan’s natural ability to communicate, he’s made his program fun and easy to understand. The Field Horsemanship Program begins with an 80% focus on teaching you the skills, abilities, talents and traits to become a horseman or horsewoman and use these skills to further your horse. .

He is a gifted teacher, presenter and horseman with a driving passion to share his message. 

Only twelve rider spots will be available for this clinic, however, they unlimited spots for auditors.  The Clinic is $800 ($740 before October 1st) and auditors are $30 per day or $75 for all three days.

Craig Cameron Horsemanship

by

Think Smarter, Ride Smarter, Communicate more effectively.  Join Texas Hall of Fame Cowboy and 2010 Road to the Horse World Champion, Craig Cameron when he, returns for 4 full days of Horsemanship.  You will learn and enjoy Craig’s educational & entertaining teaching style.  

“I used to work for Craig and witnessed firsthand the positive changes that come from riding with him. Clinic after clinic, his students left with a better understanding of how to work *with* their horse (“not against him,” as Craig says), how to give respect to get respect, and how that translates to a more consistent and obedient horse. Sure, people also had a great time and laughed at his cowboy wit, but most importantly, students left as better horsemen.Personally speaking, my horsemanship skyrocketed because of Craig. It’s amazing just how much and how quickly I learned from him. My horse really responded to his methods, and I now have more control, more confidence, and a softer, quieter ride. I *genuinely* recommend riding with him if the opportunity arises -– what I learned from him changed everything; how I ride, how I approach horsemanship, how I view myself.”– Megan Kilcup
