A Californio Horsemanship Clinic at Black Mountain Ranch.

We will introduce the beginnings of this style of horsemanship along with advanced concepts for riders to work towards. We expect a bridle horse to be capable of 4th level dressage, to jump 4ft (1.2m) without hesitation, to cut a cow as well as run one down in the pasture and stay locked on. He should be regulated enough to compete on the polo field and safe enough to take your little baby for a ride with no trouble.

These are the ethics of what we teach and help our students work towards in our horsemanship clinics.
