Craig Cameron - 2010 Road to the Horse Winner

There is no better horse trainer in my thinking than Craig Cameron, known as the “Cowboy’s Clinician”, although I doubt Craig puts much stock in that title. I could just hear him say something like “I’m just trying to help the horse”.

I said months ago that the savvy horseowner would seek the guidance and knowledge of those professional trainers who make a living training horses and teaching riders. Impossible for some, due to financial or other restraints, to travel to a clinic and either participate as a rider or watch as a auditor – the next best thing is to obtain one of the many great books on horses, horse training, and horse problems.

Craig’s book, Ride Smart, is one of a series of many Western Horseman books. Ride Smart is my favorite reading material outside of a restaurant menu. Craig’s common sense and horse sense come out in the book. His side bar stories help articulate what he’s talking about, be it sacking out a colt or doubling a horse against the rail. What is slightly missing is his great sense of humor which is in abundance at any clinic he conducts all across the country.

From Bluff Dale, Texas, Craig was recently crowned the 2010 World Champion of Road to the Horse, which is a colt starting competition hosted every year in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Craig also has a ranch near Lincoln, New Mexico, where he also conducts clinics.
