Horsemanship - A Life Long Passion

For nearly three decades Richard has dedicated himself to honing his horsemanship skills and to passing this knowledge onto others. His vast experience includes starting literally hundreds of horses that have gone onto almost every equine discipline imaginable. Richard's credentials extend from the rodeo arena and high desert ranches of the west, to being a highly sought after trainer and horsemanship clinician.

Richard considers himself a product of many great horsemen that he has had the privilege to ride with. The absence of a fixed destination fuels his passion. "The further I go in my horsemanship, the further there is to travel while on this journey!" From the weekend trail rider to the competitive world of three day eventing and reined cow horses, Richard makes it possible for people to realize their horsemanship dreams.

Richard's credentials include World Championship titles in the National Reined Cow Horse Association along with being an A rated judge. In 2007 Richard was named champion of the West Coast Equine Experience "$10,000 Colt Starting Challenge." He was also presented with the 2007 Monty Roberts Equitarian Award for outstanding achievements in Horse/Human relationships. Richard was also honored to be named champion in the 2009 Road to the Horse - Colt Starting Challenge in Nashville, TN. In July of 2009 Richard won the Super Cow Horse competition in Santa Ynez, CA. Most recently, in August of 2012, Richard was name Champion while representing the United States in an International Colt Starting Competition in Poland with competitors from Germany and The Czech Republic.

Much of Richard's work has been accomplished through the numerous clinics he conducts around the country. He also enjoys being a guest presenter at various Horse Expo's. 2010 proves to be a busy year with Expo's and Horsemanship Clinics schedule in California, Tennessee, Nebraska, South Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Hawaii, and Oregon.

A love for horses, knowledge developed through years of practice and study, and a willingness to continue learning, are the components that make Richard the “Masterful Equine Communicator” that he is today.

Richard, along with his wife Cheryl, reside in Ojai, California, at the historic Thacher School where he currently serves as Artist-in-Residence.
