“Riding in the Jaquima” Jaquima a Freno Series – Part 3

"When you say horseman I think of Richard Caldwell. He has studied a horse from top to bottom and from in side out.... and studied the spade more than any one I know."

Ted Robinson

Seven time NRCHA WORLD CHAMPION & NRCHA MILLION DOLLAR RIDER NRCHA HALL OF FAME.

Richard Caldwell trains his horses using only traditional Vaquero style methods. He learned these methods while working as a buckaroo for thirty years on a variety of ranches, including the great MC where he was Jigger Boss.

Richard has won 100,000+ in NRCHA, NSHA, NCHA, & other cow horse events with limited amount of showing. He has received the National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA)Superior Title on 7 horses, has been awarded the NRCHA certificate of ability on numerous horses, and has been a finalist multiple times. He is the only person to date to have won the NRCHA Triple Crown Hackamore on a 3 year old and has started horses that have gone on to win over a million dollars in reined cow horse, cutting and reined events. He has also received a variety of Snaffle Bit, Hackamore, Two-Rein and Bridle Championships outside of the NRCHA. Richard was and still is very active with various stock horse and ranch roping competitions. Along with his extensive show record, and demanding clinic schedule, Richard has also achieved the highest ranking of Master Farrier.

Richard currently resides in Alturas, California. He moved and settled into Alturas in 2003 and set up a training facility there. Prior to then, he was active in Stock Horse competitions, primarily with the NRCHA.

He uses, represents, and sells quality gear from top makers (& friends) that he has met through his travels.

Richard also travels extensively conducting clinics for intermediate and advanced riders who are looking to perfect their own style of riding, many are on the same path creating fine Bridle Horses. In 2011, Richard will be heading to Europe where he has been asked to conduct his horsemanship clinics. He tries to limit his clinics to an average of 15 a year, as his time is thinly spred between clinics, training horses, and various competitions. When he is not busy competing and giving clinics,he is at home riding and training horses, most being his own.

This is a great way to continue your learning and progress with your horse. Send videos of your progress and get feedback without having to wait for the next clinic you can attend.

The cost is $50 per 30 minute video. (Please don’t send your only copy, videos will not be returned)

New for 2012

Richard will be taking in 2 horses for training. There will be a 90 day evaluation period to see if the horse has the ability to make a good bridle horse. If they are accepted there will be a minimum 1 year commitment. The horses will be traveling with Richard to clinics, day work, roping events, cow work, possible showing, and a buddy horse to start colts. The horses will have a lot of exposure and free lessons will be provided if desired. If you are serious about have a true bridle horse, contact Richard today!
