Our Services
True West Horsemanship LLC provides natural trust based horsemanship training rooted in the classical tradition of the vaquero and California bridle horse. We can prepare horses for any Equine Disciplines – no matter what you want to achieve with your horse – a solid foundation and a great working partnership will help you accomplish your goals!
Ranch-based Horsemanship Educational Adventure
We are so excited to develop a new avenue for educating horses and their people. Participants will be able to bring their own horses and be involved in advancing their practical horsemanship and equine communication skills while being involved with daily ranch operations such as working cattle horseback.
These weeks will be very limited opportunities to bring your own horse to further your skills and advance your partnership, including cattle work and problem solving on the range. This is not for beginner riders – it may include rough country, inclement weather, and jobs that must get done.
Our goal is to provide unique, educational experiences to advance people in the adventure of practical horsemanship.
Ranch-Based Horse Development
This is a selective program with a 3 month minimum training time and horses must be Started under saddle (this is not a Colt Starting or Problem Solving package). This unique program is for horses to gain practical experience with skilled handling and purpose, laying a foundation of partnership for the rest of their lives.
We will be able to provide opportunities for your horse to cover many miles on 20,000 mountain acres, where your horse will be ridden properly in diverse terrain, be exposed to myriad situations that provide occasion to grow confidence, be introduced to ranch roping, and gain experience with cow work including boxing, sorting and driving.
One of the most important and unique aspects of RHD is the dedicated time with YOU before you take him home – 1-on-1 time with Ben so you’re all on the same page!
