Light hands offers the ability "to reach the horse's body through his mind; it's a greeting of sorts, a handshake of the heart." Clinician Jon Ensign

 "When a horse is taught to balance himself and not rely on the rider's hands to hold him in frame, lightness occurs." Light hands represent the highest achievement between horse and rider.

"Light Hands Horsemanship.... where you are a "guest, not an auditor."

Back By Popular Demand Jack Brainard
returns to LHH in 2010

We are very excited and honored to have Legendary Texas Horseman Jack Brainard as our guest clinician in 2010.  Jack brings with him a wealth of experience, education and horsemanship.  He is the horsemen's horseman.

Trainer, Breeder, Judge, Leader, Teacher, Author, Mentor and Friend are all accurate labels of Jack Brainard of Tioga, Texas, long known for his contributions to the equine industry and his lifelong commitment to horses and the people who enjoy them.
Jack Brainard has bred and trained horses for over 53 years and judged for a variety of national horse associations for over 40 years.

In 1966 Jack Brainard helped organize the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) and served as one of its original directors. Jack has is also a well respected author and has written two popular books: If I Were To Train a Horse  and Cowboys Past, Present & Future

Jack Brainard, at 85, still trains his own two-year-olds. Most days he can be found schooling numerous horses, teaching students, or traveling the roads to conduct one of his many clinics. His students marvel at his “easy to understand” presentation of the prerequisites and elements of the “flying lead change,” his positive and motivating approach to both horse and rider, and his never-ending enthusiasm for doing what he truly loves.

Richard Winters 2009 Winner of Road to the Horse joins LHH in 2010

Horsemanship – A Lifelong 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 dessert 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 Champion-ship Titles in the National Reined Cow Horse Association along with being an A rated judge. Richard’s most recent accomplishment was making the Limited Open Finals at the World Championship Snaffle Bit Futurity in 2008. Richard also earned the Reserved Champion Title, in the Limited Open Derby, in Stephenville, Texas, in 2008. 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.
 
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. 

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.

AN INVITATION TO AN ADVENTURE IN LIGHTNESS

“Equine Learning: From Birth to Maturity”

LIGHT HANDS HORSEMANSHIP™

May 20-23, 2010

It is with great anticipation that we again offer the equestrian public this new and innovative concept and format in the teaching of horsemanship for the third year. As all of us have traveled around the country teaching at clinics and equine expositions we hear the same comments. “Ok, you have showed us how to start a young horse, now what?” or “This is great to see such an advanced horse but how do we get there?” Always listening to the needs of our horse public the four of us decided to form a group of horseman in a clinic setting that will take you from “Birth to the Advanced Horse.”

Each of these clinicians are unique and committed to their particular field of teaching and training. One of the things that they all have in common and will stress in their presentations, is the use and development of “LIGHTNESS.”

“LIGHTNESS” is their cornerstone, it is what all 5 clinicians strive for from their “first touch thru advanced training”. You will see “lightness” from the hand held touch of a lead line to the hand and rein communication of the advanced horse and rider.

How do you create the “lightness?”. Join us May 20-23, 2010. in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley. These five horsemen are “MASTERS OF LIGHTNESS.” They will teach you, share their knowledge and create a desire in you to know more, to learn more. It promises to be a weekend not easily forgotten.

Welcome back to LHH IV from Dr. Robert M. Miller

The success of our 2007, 2008, and 2009 Adventures in Lightness at Intrepid Farms in California’s beautiful Santa Ynez Valley has encouraged us to do it again. The enthusiastic comments from our international  audience, representing so many different breeds and disciplines is hard to ignore. The social aspects of the event seemed to please people as  much as the education in horsemanship.  This events setting is beautiful, not a dusty uncomfortable arena or showgrounds but a private estate where every detail is attended to. Green grass, white fences, shade trees, mountain views and ocean breezes, and lots of beautiful roses and color. You will think you are at a resort so come prepared to really enjoy yourselves. 

So, May 20-23, 2010 we are going to do it  again. The theme will be the same: LIGHTNESS. What is “LIGHTNESS ?”  By  definition it is an immediate and full response to an absolutely minimum amount of stimulus (signal). In all disciplines, lightness in the use of the  reins, the hands, the seat, and the legs is too often overlooked.  LIGHTNESS and how to achieve it will again be the heart of this event.

"The Revolution Horsemanship has produced no finer teachers than the three gentlemen returning to California’s Santa Ynez Valley May May 20-23, 2010  Masters of subtlety, soft hands & quiet methods of Western, English, and Classical Horsemanship, they will demonstrate, on elegant horses, how to achieve complete respect and compliance without producing fear in the horse. This event will continue to inspire you and help you to achieve oneness with the horse."   

This event will emphasize the training of the horse from birth to advanced levels. I have met few people in my life who were born with the qualities of patience, persistence, empathy, dedication and gentleness that are necessary in a great horseman. These 5 gentlemen have those gifts and they will share them with you. 

That is our theme: “LIGHTNESS, The Training of the horse, from birth to finish.”

We all look forward to sharing our knowledge and love for the horse with each and every one of you once again.  This is an auditor only clinic, no need to bring a horse.... just come, relax, share and learn.

Robert M. Miller DVM
