Good Horsemanship

Horsemanship is a never ending education. Working in harmony with a horse is an art form, but it’s not meant to be rocket science. Understanding your horse’s perspective, being able to work with your horse in his time and always remembering that your horse has a reason for everything he does, are just some of the basic fundamentals of good horsemanship. Behind every great horse is a great trainer, and behind every great trainer is good horsemanship.
