Craig Cameron |
|
A Native Texan
Craig Cameron, one of the original clinicians, is on the road more than 44
weeks a year covering 80,000 miles demonstrating the style of horsemanship
he has perfected in the last 23 years. Called the “public defender of
the horse,” Craig dedicates himself to those who educate their horses by
first educating themselves. At an age where most have long since retired
the thought of starting colts, Craig Cameron known as “The Cowboy’s
Clinician,” starts hundreds of horses each year; plus his four-day
clinics held at his ranches in Bluff Dale, TX and Lincoln, NM blend
education with entertainment. Clinic topics
range from basic to advanced horsemanship, colt starting, ranch and cattle
work, problem-solving, reining and trail obstacles. This year he plans to
incorporate horse-camping and back-country riding techniques into his
lesson plans. Craig has created a program that builds confidence and trust between man and horse. Rather than fight the animal, he offers patience and understanding that leaves the horse wanting to do what is asked of him. In the early 80’s Craig was fortunate to meet a man named Ray Hunt who opened his eyes to the art of working through understanding when training horses. Building upon his experiences, Craig uses a philosophy of teaching that eliminates rough handling of horses earning him a well-deserved international following. |
