- Craig Hamilton - www.craighamiltonhorsemanship.com
- Craig Hamilton believes horsemanship is not just about fixing a horse, but it's about a relationship. He has the ability to not only show you what is going on with your horse, but he can explain it in a way that brings you into the horse's mind with him. He has developed an effective, easy-to-understand and considerate program so students can find their own listening and feel. Craig is "Improving lives through considerate horsemanship." From Mustang gentling demonstrations for the BLM to helping the everyday horse owner achieve respect and listening for a better relationship with their horse, Craig has a program that works. Craig is also a third generation National Finals team roping contestant in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Assoc, or PRCA, having qualified twice for the finals in '86 and '87; he was the Arizona Working Cowboy All Around Champion; he has also taught horsemanship/colt starting clinics for the largest working ranch in Canada: Douglas Lake Cattle Company. Craig is also a regular clinician for the working Paniolos on the famous Parker Ranch in Hawaii.

- Paul Dietz
- http://home.att.net/~pauldietzhorsemanship/
- Teaching Horses and People
- Whether starting a colt, or helping you to
better understand your horse, or helping to
solve any problems the two of you may have,
I can help. My goal in Horsemanship is to help
you find a friendship with your horse--to help
him to learn through teaching with the instinctional,
natural language of the horse and not forcing
him with gimmicks or pressure. As you learn
more on how the horse thinks and moves, there
is nothing the two of you can't achieve. With
this method you can gain confidence and learn
to prepare your horse for any situation or maneuver.
This process will also give you a friend and
partner that you can learn to learn together
on the ground or on his back.

- Karen Scholl - www.karenscholl.com
- The only thing I love
more than horses is people. My deepest desire
is to help people enjoy their horse by expanding
their skills to have even more safety and fun.
It's amazing to me how deeply horses bond to
their owners when they have greater understanding
and confidence. It's a very special feeling
that can hardly be described... you just have
to experience it for yourself.

their horses, not only for their benefit, but for
the benefit of their horses. His clinics have the
enthusiastic recommendation of a wide variety of

you and your horse up for success. No horse

at all times while gaining new ground through
positive measures in and out of the round pen.
