You are a gift to the world. The training makes the connection not the saddle. All horses benefit from dressage. I incorporate dressage principles into all training with my horses. I spent time in college starting youngsters or working with problem horses and always found success with dressage and natural methods combined.

I just recently found your channel, and I am extremely impressed. I get where you are at completely. I grew up on a cow/calf operation, and rope and work young horses. It wasnt until college that I stumbled upon dressage and loved every bit of it. Now I put a dressage foundation on all of my ranch/roping horses, and once you see the work it does for the horse, your eyes open.

A lot of dressage riders look down on cowboys but my mentor was a cowboy who had worked on several prestigious ranches in western Canada including the Gang ranch and the Wine Glass Ranch. He met Ray Hunt who sent him to meet Tom Dorrance some time in that period he was trained in classical dressage. I was at one of his clinics and there was a $100,000 dressage horse there. It was so hard he had to make a halter out of his lariat. After a little while he was sitting on a stool in the middle of the arena cutting cutting cows with that horse on the end of a 50 foot lariat. All nice and quiet. How many people can do something like that? The exposure to these ideas that came from Tom are priceless to me. But exposure to other disciplines can be very valuable as well. Nothing that makes horses better in mind body and spirit should be off the table. Exposing horses to many different things and helping horses to except those things is what every horseman should be doing. Great video. I liked learning more about you.

Great story Joseph, I enjoyed watching this video and am glad you told the story stressing the importance of 'training' the horse, as whatever discipline, whatever level of the rider, we are always training the horse in some ways. I have been watching all your videos and I really enjoy them, and am always learning from them, whether it is reinforcing something I know (but subconsciously doubt) or a different view on things, or something completely new. A little about me, so you know your type of followers: I have been riding also since 11-12 years old, with a 10 year interruption (when I was more into boys...) and once I was back, never left it. I was a week-end trail rider most of my riding life, with a little dressage and jumping training, tried some eventing but was not very good. And now that I am retired (since 60-year old, now 63) I ride almost everyday and do a lot more competition (dressage, combined test, caprillis, eventing, hunter paces, and of course trail riding and working in a ring at the barn). Please continue with your wonderful videos. Thank you! Danièle

There aren't many like you Joseph.......not in the dressage community. It's my opinion that the hard core dressage riders/trainers are firmly set in their ways, whether they realize it or not. The other prominent demographic is dressage amateurs who are looking for alternative methods with a built-in "magic bullet". I haven't met many who are rational and open minded about the true objective of horsemanship being "training" and the value of an open mind. I'm part cowboy (or cowgirl), myself and I welcome having a foot in both worlds for the freedom it offers. Hope to hear more about you and your progress.

I’m a western rider who watches your videos because horsemanship is horsemanship regardless of discipline. My goal is always to have a horse yield softly to light pressure, whether rein, leg, or seat. I personally prefer the floaty little western jog (a lovely compression of energy) over a big forward trot. But the way to get there is the same.

Hi Joseph, I'm so glad you answered my comment :) Even the best rider has always something to learn I think, that's what is beautiful with horses! We never stop learning. I live close to Paris but I'm from Normandy (called "the horse land" in France you know... green grass and rainy days). I'm not a professional rider but I own a 6 years old thoroughbred named Diable Noir which mean Black Devil... he doesn't deserve his name, he's an adorable horse, really pleasant to ride. But also very sensitive, that's why I never really try to train him in hand. I prefer to do nothing instead of doing anything wrong without a trainer to teach me. But maybe I will start to learn him the piaffe in-hand thanks to your videos... :)

You might be interested in checking out this guy. He doesn't ride English, but his training principles are useful to all. He's also really started to explore relationship-based training, which flies in the face of a lot of "conventional wisdom" but is very quickly proving itself and helping a LOT of horses. For clarifications on the principles he mentions here, check out his Principles of Training series here on youtube. I'm not saying what you're doing doesn't work - obviously it does.

Thatvranch in oregan sounds like a lot of the outback stations in Australia where everything revolves around a water supply and most water troughs are fed by artesian water bores with windmills on them as there is no power to run a pump to get the water from so deep doewn up to the surface the cattle stay near the water trotroughs and other animals would come in for the water too like big mobs of kangaroos and feral donkeys wild horses and also camels Australia has more. Wild camels than any other country they are not really wild but are the descendants of camels brought over by the Afghan cameleers that helped explore the outback and were let run wild when no longer needed like the mustangs and Australia s wild horses or brumbies as they are known they all hang around the water supplies and the water allows the kangaroos to breed up into numbersvthat the local area can’t support and they begin to starve and then must be culled to keep the numbers viable or else they 5urn the area into a desert
