Just imagine the improvement that you and your horse could enjoy with consistent, uninterrupted, and quality instruction invested in your partnership! Add to this the support and guidance of Richard’s coaching through each new challenge, and this is what will transpire at this years “Ultimate Horse Course!” With a week devoted to progressive horsemanship, we’ll cover everything from ground work to trail riding, confidence building, and cattle working. Richard’s goal is to elevate your current horsemanship experience to a new level of knowledge and leadership.
Cost: $1,700

"The Ultimate Horse Course offers many diverse experiences; arena work, trails, and cattle work. These experiences, paired with Richard’s knowledge and great communication, build the skill and confidence of both horse and rider. I'm looking forward to the new challenges and lessons 2010 will bring!"
--Cathy Felter

Ultimate Horse Course II
June 27-July 3
For the first time ever, Richard will be spending a week helping good riders reach for the next level of horsemanship. All riders must have attended a Richard Winters Ultimate Horse Course or an Advancing Horsemanship Clinic with Richard. Participants must be comfortable and confident trotting and loping their horses consistently in a group setting. Richard will challenge each participant to “step up to the plate” and be the horseman their horse deserves.
Cost: $1,700

We will incorporate the following riding options throughout the week:

• Riding Arena - 100x200

• Gymkhana Field - 4 acres

• Cow Arena - 150x250

• Polo Arena - 200x300

• The Las Padres National Forest. Richard’s goal is to elevate your current horsemanship experience to a new level of knowledge and leadership. 

Richard enjoys all of his meals in the dining hall, with the participants so he is available throughout the week. If you are unable to bring your own horse you can lease a Thacher horse for $50 per day! (An additional $250 for the week.)

Here’s what past participants have to say:

"It is obvious that Mr. Winters is the consummate horseman, instructor, and disciple of the natural horsemanship movement. What I observed was a man who is an outstanding teacher. Mr. Winters so structured the course that all riding levels could be accommodated at the same time. Mr. Winters, ever the watchful teacher, helped all of us on an individual basis to attain our goals for the course. Yet we all learned by what he was teaching the others."                                                       
-Ronald A. Griffin, M.D.

"I had seen the Richard Winters Horsemanship program on RFD-TV and was very impressed with Richards' ability to clearly communicate his ideas to his audience. True to his tv program, he was even better in person. With such a mixture of riding ability, age and discipline, he was able to offer something for everyone attending the clinic. After a full week of nothing but "horse", I certainly have come away from this clinic with a better understanding of my horse and have gained the much needed confidence in my ability to communicate and handle him."                                     
-Ginny Smith
