DO WHAT!! Chris Cox winnner....

[TWHFAN1]

Chris Cox won the 2007 Road to the Horse. I can not believe he beat out Clinton Anderson and Stacy Westfall.! Met him in person and boy does his last name suit him....Cox..aka ####y...aka???? But he must have been good with his horse pick. Ok so I am not a huge C.C fan. I do a blend of PNH, C.A and think Stacy is a light in the womans horse world! All opinoins accepted! We all have our fav.'s!

I don't think DoWhat reads the horsey forum.

I do also like the Parelli methods for the horse that needs it broken down for em. I have seen wonders done with horses at the barn through the Parelli methods.

I think they all bring something to the table - you just have to be able to choose what will work with what horse. Horse choice does have a big influence when you have that caliber clinician working. We saw at last years competition that C. A. had put the least amount of actual riding time on his horse -tons of ground work, and he was able to pull off an awesome trail class at the end. I like C.A, C.C, Monty Roberts, and Junior McLaughlin in West Va.

I have to agree with Horselady.... I have tried D.R. and J.L. and can't understand half of what they are doing..... C.C. and Monty Roberts are great.....

I started with Parelli, up to L3 with my THW gelding and it did SO much for me as a rider and horse owner! However, I have expanded my horizons with Clinton, Craig Careron and Stacy Westfall. Everyone has something to offer, it is just all in who ya like. The extreme cowboy races with Craig are awsome!!They are going to do one at Loretta Lynn's 66ooarce ranch in Tenn. in June and Sept 07 with Craig!

I agree. Everyone has something to offer. I've watched D.R., J.L., C.A., C.C., & M.R. I like them all. It's interesting to see the different techniques. The only trainer I'm not sure about is Ken McNab on RFD TV. I watched one of his shows & he was working a horse up & down ditches & hills. The horse was getting more upset as the time went on & he just kept working it. I had to change the channel because it was way too obvious that the saddle had slid back about a foot from where it should of been and He was sitting on the horses kidneys. He did not get off and adjust it. ....then on another show he said that it was Safer to Run your horse down a hill than up a hill.

strange how?

 

[TWHFAN1]

Strange as in, I saw the one guy using a plastic bag to get the horse to move out...?? I use them to desensitize a horse, so why would I chase them with it. It scared the crap out of the horse. I saw the episode you were speaking of to. That is so old school, I work with some old timers that do the same thing. I hate it, so stressful for the horse.

 

[flarenuphope]

i like c.a because he is down to earth and you get results fast, unlike parelli, you have to work with them for a long time, but the results are good in the end. c.c at horse expo wouldnt even go to his booth and talk to ppl, he seemed snobish... but i like any trainer that gets results!

I was at a show I think a couple years ago. He had a really wild one that was dragging him from one side of the arena to the other. What was funny was he had gone through the talk about keeping your cool and then he just sorta lost his!! He got really peeved, jumped on his horse and then dragged the other horse all over the ring to teach him a lesson. He also snapped at his son within earshot of everyone, no biggie, everyone loses their cool at one time or another!

Didn't see that one. But I do know that he was trail riding at his ranch with a bunch of L1 people, showing off with a 2 year old and just the savvy string around its neck....Horse TOOK OFF. They didn't see him again till dinner. I also think they are a bad influence to children and adults alike by not promoting helmets...expecially when jumping a friggin picknic table! He lessons for everday people are good. Just take allot of commitment and time.
