Clinic Description:
Day 1: Horsemanship
These classes are designed to help develop a stronger horse and rider partnership. The
emphasis is on building the skills needed to advance the rider toward their goals, whether on a
ranch, on the trail, or in the show ring. Riders of all levels and disciplines will benefit from Joe’s
insights and deep understanding of the horse-human connection.
Day 2 & 3: Cow Working
Cow working classes are for any rider wishing to start their horse on cattle, or to further
advance a horse already working cattle. Riders learn about position, timing, pressure points and
how to utilize their horsemanship skills to track, sort and cut cattle. The emphasis is on horse
3
and rider teamwork, developing a horse that truly wants to work a cow and on using low-stress
livestock handling techniques that pay off on the ranch and in the show ring.
Day 2 & 3: Ranch Roping
Joe, in concert with Bill Dorrance, is credited with starting the first ranch roping clinics over 25
years ago. He has a vast amount of knowledge and experience to share with riders who not
only want to improve their skills with a rope but also want to further develop their horses for
ranch work. Joe focuses on the shots and techniques needed for doctoring, branding and other
day-to-day chores encountered on a working ranch. Students will have an opportunity to work
in a herd and with other ropers to hone their cattle handing skills and advance their abilities to
work as a part of a team.
All 3 days: Colt Starting (offered before and after regular clinic hours)-Limited to 6 horses.
The colts will be worked with before and after clinic hours and possibly during lunch break
should he feel it is necessary for the colt. Cost is $600.00 per colt.
This class is for horses that haven’t yet been ridden or may have been ridden, but are still very
green or have some problems that might be helped by restarting with a different approach.
While Joe may work with each horse individually, the intent is to help every rider prepare their
horse and ride it themselves for the first time. Joe’s ultimate goal is for each horse to be
moving freely with a rider so that they leave the clinic with a solid foundation on which to
continue further training.
Cancellations:
Cancellations are handled on an individual bases. Deposits are non-refundable. If a rider
or horse becomes unable to complete the clinic, no refund will be given as the Ride/Clinic host
or instructor cannot be responsible for unforeseen problems.
Video & Audiotaping:
You are welcome to take still pictures during the clinic and colt starting. However, Videotaping
is not allowed.
Horses:
The State of California requires all horses entering the state to have a Negative Coggins within
the last 12 months. This test takes some time, so if traveling from out of state, please plan
ahead. Your horse should be healthy and in good shape – you will be in the saddle most of the
day. You should be able to walk, trot and canter comfortably on a loose rein.
Horsekeeping:
Please try to arrive before dark as it makes it easier to find your way around. The stalls are
covered. If you need or want shavings they are available to purchase or you can bring your
own. Bring a water bucket and your feed.
You are responsible for cleaning your own stall daily and before you leave. If stalls
are not clean upon departure you will be charged an additional $25.00.
Hay:
If you need to purchase hay, the local feed store, Shasta Feed 530-347-6033 has good quality
Hay.
