“The Master of the Dance”

An expert of the Piaffe and Passage, none have been able to match the brilliance and exactness of her horses. As the owner and producer of “The Magical World of Dancing Horses,” Dianne presents her stunning horses throughout the United States not as a Dressage exhibitor, but as an entertainer. Anyone who has had the privilege of seeing this marvelous show will tell you the power of it’s magic and the beautifully trained horses.

 Dianne’s background in the horse industry is wide and varied. Specializing in the training of the Arabian & then branching out to the Baroque breeds, she fell in love with the artistry involved in the training of dancing horses and spent ten years training with the finest trainers in the field of the finer art of the Haute Ecole. Her mentors are Albert Ostermaier, Arthur Konyot and Dorita Humphries Konyot.

 If you know Cowboys, then you know that many are grand storytellers, embellishers and tellers of tall tales. It is as true today as it was 100+ years ago. Each year as the clinicians arrive at Intrepid Farms they often gather and swap stories and tales of the “old days.” For those of us who are privileged enough to sit and hear these stories we were enriched and endeared beyond what is presented during the clinics. These senior horsemen share a life and times most of us can only imagine. Their stories are rich in characters, both human and equine. To listen is to take a walk back in time when the world was a much different place and horses were often a necessity, not a hobby or luxury. From the years of the Great Depression through WWII and up to present day, the experience, knowledge and wisdom arrived at through a lifetime of horses is priceless.

We have been so touched and moved by these intimate conversations and stories and felt that they must be shared with our guests. This generation of horsemen will soon come to pass. With that passing their personal stories and experiences will pass with them.

Light Hands Horsemanship invites you to join us at “the campfire” after dinner on Fri and Sat night. Grab a good cup of camp coffee, get comfortable and prepare to hear some grand stories. We feel you will be as moved as we were as each horsemen allows you to walk in their shoes, to feel the drama, and share the laughter and the tears that a life and times “a horseback” has given them.
