aBOUT rICHARD wINTERSFor almost 4 decades Richard Winters has been pursuing and perfecting the art of horsemanship.
For all these years, Richard and his wife Cheryl's motto has been "Enjoy the Journey!” From teaching his first clinic at a junior college in the early 1980s, the Winters’ have literally traveled around the world sharing his unique brand of horsemanship. Understanding horses and perhaps more importantly, understanding people, has been the key to Richard helping literally thousands of people achieve their own personal horsemanship goals. |
In the summer of 2017 Richard and Cheryl's journey is taking an unexpected yet exciting new turn. Richard accepted the invitation to be "Director of the Horse Program" at the historic and prestigious Thacher School in Ojai, California. This college preparatory boarding school has a 125-year history of academic excellence and strong horsemanship. Thacher has always believed that the challenges and responsibilities of horse care and horsemanship have the ability to teach life lessons that reach to the classroom, relationships, careers and beyond.
With over 120 horses, a state-of-the-art facility and a top-notch Horse Department Team, Richard recognizes that his goal is not simply to teach a bunch of young people how to ride horses. "At Thacher I have the opportunity to invest in tomorrow's leaders. Through horses I have a chance to instill some life lessons and character traits in some great young people during four of their most formative years. It's a program with literally a century of success. I'm privileged to be a part of such a legacy." - Richard Winters
