July 4-10, 2008 
(Friday - Thursday)

Devote an entire week of horsemanship with Richard Winters at The Thacher School. Just you and your horse for an entire week. We’ll cover ground manners to lead changes, trail riding in the Las Padres to cattle working, and everything in between. 

We’re going to personalize this horsemanship week to your particular needs and desires. The Ultimate Horse Course is the most comprehensive and extensive event we offer. If you’re ready for more equine understanding and improved horsemanship skills, this course is for you.

Richard enjoys all of his meals in the dining hall, with the participants so he is available throughout the weekend. If you are unable to bring your own horse you can lease a Thacher horse for $50.00 per day! (An additional $250.00 for the weekend.)

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
