2010 CLINIC SCHEDULE HAS BEGUN...See CLINICS for current schedule. Also this 2nd DVD in the Jaquima a Freno Series is HERE!!!!!
year, private and semi-private 1/2 day clinics will be offerred during the month of May with Richard at his place in Alturas!! email for more info.
PURPOSE FOR THE CLINICS
I feel that there is a need to preserve and bring back the true Vaquero methods of horsemanship and horse training. These clinics will focus on helping the rider make transitions from snaffle bit to hackamore, hackamore to 2-rein, 2-rein to straight up in the bridle. Riders will learn the methods I use in training my horses for rein work, working cattle, and just everyday riding. Riders will learn traditional equipment use, the reasoning for their use, and proper rider etiquette. Riders will receive a better appreciation and understanding of their horses, equipment, and themselves. There will be something to be learned for all levels of riders and horses.

VAQUERO HORSEMANSHIP
Here is the latest feedback from the newest DVD just released January 10, 2010!!!!
"Hi Nancy & Richard; we just finished watching Jaquima to Freno - it was amazing. Thank you."
"Just stunning filming, great sound, and of course Richard’s content is unmatched."
"I just finished watching your DVD, which I enjoyed immensely. It is very well made, easy to follow, thorough and brilliant. Thank you for offering this informative and traditional insight into the knowledge base you have. It is a treasure to say the least."
"Just finished watching Richard's DVD. It is phenomenal! I am disappointed that I have to be away this weekend and won't be able to ride because I want to put it into practice right away. It clear and concise. The amount of
information is overwhelming. It will be an excellent tool to prepare for the clinic.
Definitely exceeded my expectations which were already pretty high!"
"I received the DVD on Thursday and have already been right through it twice. It is extremely helpful and ideal for where I am with my horse. It also gives me a lot of confidence that I am doing the right things and that, with practice and patience, everything will fall into place. This is a very valuable addition to my video library. I look forward to getting the next part later this year."
"We have received your Jaquima a Freno Series and wanted to thank you for taking the time to create such an inspiring, informative, passionate set of DVD's."
"You guys put out an amazing video! "
"Thanks for the great DVDs! There was a wealth of information, the knowledge pride, and understanding that comes with this type of horsemanship is so appreciated."
