Ranch Horsemanship: How to Ride Like the Cowboys Do »

Since the early 1990s, Montana-raised Curt Pate has used the skills and horse-training techniques he learned as a ranch cowboy as an equine clinician, and his experience as a rodeo announcer and auctioneer only help his presentation delivery. Curt's horsemanship, colt-starting, and working-ranch presentations are popular at horse fairs, public and private clinics, and guest ranches nationwide because he adapts his ranch experience to serve any rider desiring self-improvement and a well-broke mount. He and his family now live in Montana.

This books tells how almost any rider of almost any level of expertise can adapt ranch-horse-training techniques to help his or her mount become a safer, more enjoyable ride. Pate's step-by-step methods offer a hands-on and in-your-own time approach well-suited for most recreational riders. Each chapter includes do-it-yourself ideas appropriate for the small-acreage horse owner.
