Vaquero

The word Vaquero means “cowboy” and has been Anglicized to Buckaroo. The Vaquero are the legendary horsemen of the western USA.

The Vaquero, the legendary Spanish horsemen who introduced the style of horsemanship that is now recognized as natural horsemanship.

We promote the Vaquero style of horsemanship, connecting people with clinicians, horses, equipment suppliers and basic training information.

Understanding Ray Hunt

I have learned a lot from watching Ray Hunt videos and reading his books. I think that many folks pick up one or two quotes but don’t dive deeper to understand what Ray was pushing – good horsemanship.
To Bute or not to Bute:

Bute is overprescribed and overused, and unfortunately many horse owners are unaware of the longer term implications of its use.
Styles of Horsemanship

I used to think that there were styles of horsemanship, types, varied by something exogenous – some external variant, a piece of equipment, a type of horse, whatever. Now, I finally understand that horsemanship is horsemanship, there is no such thing as bad horsemanship, such a thing is simply not horsemanship at all.
