Argyle, Texas

                 

Trace Moffett - www.alliancefarm.com
Full service natural horse training, boarding, horseback lessons, facility specializing in Arabians for the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area. At Alliance Farm we believe that starting a horse in a way that they feel they have a "good deal" and are safe with their rider helps them to go on and be better show horses. Once these horses move into the unfamiliar world of showing and performance, they will need a strong foundation to fall back on to be able to find a familiar spot of safety. The horses that we have started like this are truly better, calmer and happier show horses for many years. Although we don't get every horse at the beginning of their training and show career, we will try to take the time and teach them the basics so that they will have a place of familiarity also. It depends on the individual horse as to how well it will accept relearning the basics. Most all horses will find the "good deal" If they are shown how.

 Craig Cameron    

Craig Cameron - www.craigcameron.com
Native Texan Craig Cameron, one of the original clinicians, is on the road more than 44 weeks a year covering 80,000 miles demonstrating the style of horsemanship he has perfected in the last 23 years. Called the “public defender of the horse,” Craig dedicates himself to those who educate their horses by first educating themselves. At an age where most have long since retired the thought of starting colts, Craig Cameron, known as “The Cowboy’s Clinician,” starts hundreds of horses each year; plus his four-day clinics held at his ranches in Bluff Dale, TX and Lincoln, NM blend education with entertainment. Craig has created a program that builds confidence and trust between man and horse. Rather than fight the animal, he offers patience and understanding that leaves the horse wanting to do what is asked of him.

Chris Micek  

 
Chris Micek - www.4mhorsetraining.com
I have been working with horses for over 15 years now and love every minute. I utilize least resistence training principles to get the best out of a horse, following the mindset that gentle methods yield greater results. Building a solid foundation that leads to a road of trust and communication that creates your perfect horse. I enjoy starting young colts, as well as correcting behavior issues with older horses. I never saddle break a horse; I saddle train a horse, so there is never a loss of trust. I train pleasure horses for trail riding and general riding in pasture. However, I absolutely love the rush of training a performance horse for cutting and reining. The satisfaction of teaching a horse to be the peak of its potential is unparalleled. With that said, if you have ever had the pleasure of being on the back of a well-trained horse, you know that joy. Simply put: I just love my job and I enjoy working with horses and the people who own them.

Brent Graef - www.brentgraef.com
This journey we call "Horsemanship" goes very deep. It can be as deep as we want to take it. It's more than just working with our horses... it's about relationships. It's about the truth of the relationship you have with your horse, your loved ones, and yourself. Brent Graef's views on horsemanship have been influenced by the teachings of some great horsemen... among them Ronnie Willis, Buck Brannaman, Joe Wolter, Ray Hunt... the philosophies of Tom and Bill Dorrance.
