During a clinic conducted by my friend and mentor Buck Brannaman, I was asked a question-   Do you think that all Horsemanship is the same, just presented differently?

My answer was – No!

There is an aspect that is very important to the horse which is consistently overlooked.

This aspect is so important to the horse that it should be foremost in our thoughts.

Well, what is it?

There should be an awareness of what a horse prepares to do physically, mentally and emotionally.

To me, this is a basic understanding that I take to everything that I do with a horse.

Physically it is what happens laterally with a horse, thus the name -    

"LATERAL THINKING HORSEMANSHIP"

At my clinics this is what I offer to the students so that they can best gain an understanding of what they need to present to their horse no matter what discipline
