As some of you may know, I have recently returned from the Road To The Horse 2012, which is the World Championship of Colt Starting, an international colt starting team competition in Tennessee. We had four hours, split into two sessions, to get a basically untouched three year old colt caught, taught to lead, pick up his feet, saddle and ride, walk, trot, canter correct leads, weave through upright poles, a narrow alley way, over a tarp, over some jumps, push through some pool noodles, swing a rope, drag a log, open and close a gate, ride up on a narrow raised sidewalk, ring a bell and then into a water box. 

In the previous article of starting the young horse we talked mainly about building confidence and acceptance of ourselves and our tools. The tools we use and how we use them help them with more than just that particular piece of equipment; it spills over into many things and the horses overall confidence. Whatever it is we show our horses must be consistent to have it last. I find four to seven sessions in a row and the horse will remember a year later. It might be a bit rusty, but they haven't forgot.

The first time I started a young horse I was 13 years old, and then I started doing quite a few when I turned 17. For years I started horses for people and I didn't get paid much, which was good, because I wasn't getting much accomplished.

Welcome!

This is the home of Natural Horsemanship Clinician and Horse Specialist Glenn Stewart. We hope you will enjoy the virtual Horse Ranch. We've tried to make this an interesting place for you to visit and mosey around in with a bit of information and inspiration. We'll tell you all about how you can begin or further your knowledge of Natural Horsemanship through hands on help in our camps and clinics. We have the Stages Program & Assessments so your progress and learning can continue while you are at home, a three month Horsemanship Course for those looking to making a lifelong change in their abilities with horses, adventures and holidays you can experience with us, some exciting horse products we use, and other things that we just plain think are fun.

We've asked the question "Do you remember why you got into horses?" It is our belief that everyone whose lives have been touched by horses had a plan, a vision or an inspiration of how good it could be. Or maybe it was just the warmth of their manes, the wonderful smell or the way you felt better about everything whenever you were around them that got you started. Whatever it was, we hope you remember and better yet, you are living it. If you are we would like to be a part of that experience. Perhaps you've forgotten or gotten far away from the original dream, why you got into horses in the first place. We would love to to remind you of what that was and bring that dream into your reality. The possibilities are endless and best of all, we've found a way that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results with horses.

For everyone who has been a student of Glenn's in the past, we would like to thank you. What we do wouldn't be possible without you. For those of you we have yet to meet, it would be an honor to be a part of your horse experience in some way. For all of you, we hope you will be inspired to come see us at the real Horse Ranch, our home where we live our dream with horses. Thank you for your interest.

Sincerely,

Glenn & Dixie Stewart
