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.

Ride the JourneySM: Life is a journey, and my journey is with horses. Come Ride the JourneySM is my way of inviting you to join my life, learn the lessons I've learned and continue to learn from the horse, and make the horse, to some extent, your life and journey as well. The journey lasts until the day I die, because the way I see it, there will always be something for me to learn from a horse or another horseman. Don't forget: the difference between good and great is passion. And I hope you'll share my passion for the horse.
Chris teaches you how to find your centered seat. He talks about three seat positions: (1) front of saddle, (2) center of saddle and (3) back pocket of saddle. These positions are essential to achieve maximum effectiveness while performing maneuvers with your horse. He will show you how to establish balance and timing so you get in rhythm with your horse. No matter what discipline your horse is used for, English or Western; this video will teach you the correct equestrian seat.
The recent clinic in Tunica, MS was the best thing my wife and I have done since having our twins. I'm not a trainer, roper, or cutter, but still love my horses the same. The bond you have with your horse steps beyond what you breed, what you wear, or you do for a living. You helped me understand that the frustrations I have is due to the things that I don't know, not with my horse. You hit it squarely when you stated that the more you understand, the more you search to know. This weekend, I learned a lot about the mind set of horses, but I think I learned just as much about myself. It is amazing to see that the things we don't understand is often the obvious. It's the human, not the animal that over-complicates things! Perfect weekend!!
