"I'm not a horse trainer, I'm a horseman.
What’s the difference?
A horse trainer trains horses; a horseman trains himself." – Chris Cox
These weekend tour stops provide a remarkable learning opportunity in a relaxed, entertaining setting. Enjoy demonstrations that reveal proven methods for interacting with the horse. Learn techniques that will build your confidence and increase your horse handling skills. From the foundation of ground work to the refinement of advanced horsemanship skills for building a rider’s confidence, Chris will show you his proven methods. Chris will also demonstrate his techniques by working with local problem horses. He'll show, step-by-step, his program for starting a colt.
Experience real horses, real people, real problem solving, up close and personal!
In addition to all the fascinating interaction with horses, you’ll enjoy shopping, family fun, and have a chance to meet Chris in person as he signs autographs and answers questions during the daily Q&A session .
