Submit a Demo Horse: Chris Cox Horsemanship Co. : Clinician, Two-Time Road to the Horse Champion, TV Host, Equine Educator

Chris will be using horses during his demonstrations at each live event. If you would like to submit your horse for one of the categories listed below, please fill out the online form listed at the bottom of the page. We require a DVD, VHS, 8mm, or video clip of your horse and its problem. If your horse is chosen, one of the CCHC staff will contact you at the phone numbers that you have provided.

Chris is looking for horses in the following categories:

Problem Horse - Bucking Problem demo - We are looking for a broke horse that has developed an extreme bucking problem. All horses must be broke, please no green broke horses. We do ask for you to submit a video of your horse, we understand due to safety reasons for not riding the horse in the video. If you would just show the horse saddled being worked in a round pen or lunged and as much information you can provide about past bucking history.
Problem Horse - Trailer Loading demo - The trailer loading demo deals with a horse that will not load or is rarely able to load. We would like a horse that requires a lot of work loading into the trailer or rarely does load. A horse that will load partly or runs backwards out of a trailer will not be considered. Please submit a video showing the horse and the owner trying to load the horse into the trailer and the horse refusing to load.
Problem Horse – Headset demo - The perfect headset horse is one that usually is ridden with a tie down or just has natural high headset and wants to pull on the bit or carry its nose in the air when you are riding or pulling on the bit. Please no green broke horses. In the video, please show the owner riding the horse without a tie down or any other headset restraint.
Colt Starting demo - We ask for a halter broke 2 or 3 year old colt or filly. The horse must not have been saddled or bridled or any riding. Please show in the video the colt/filly being led around or moved around in a round pen or turnout.

Please Note: All Horses must be under 14 years old. For all Tour Stops, horses must arrive at the facility by 5:00 p.m. on the Friday before the tour date. For Expo arrival time call the office at 940-327-8113.

There is a $150 one time fee for Chris to use your horse in his colt starting and bucking horse demonstration. There is a $100 one time fee for the Headset and Trailer loading demo horses. The Building Rider’s Confidence demo is free. The fee is payable upon selection of your horse by the CCHC staff. This fee will be refunded if we do not use your horse in a demonstration.

Repetition: Repeating in small steps is a good way to help your horse to gain confidence and understanding. For instance, when you first put on a saddle pad, take it off again right away. Do this again and again until the horse understands that one step and has confidence that it is a safe thing. The horse needs to understand that pressure doesn't last forever. He needs to understand that the saddle goes on, but it comes off too. He needs to understand that he'll go in the trailer, but he's not trapped and will be able to get back off. The repetition makes the step a part of the horse's library of “knowns,” so that now that step can be built on without resistance.

Chris Cox Signature Fixed D Snaffle Bit

$75.00

Personally designed by Chris, this signature 5" snaffle feature a unique fixed D ring snaffle. This special design helps to pick up the outside of the horse's mouth toward the direction of the rein (unlike a snaffle whose D or O ring swivels and just slides across the tongue). The special contour of the mouth piece places pressure on the bars of your horse's mouth, not his tongue. It has been Chris' experience that this special bit design discourages a horse from flipping his nose out and encourages them to soften and bend at the poll more readily.

I think the integrity of Chris' training speaks for itself. It is no dog and pony show. No glitz, no nonsense, just training.
