Natural Horsemanship Resources

Bill Dorrance and his brother Tom were among the founders of the modern natural horsemanship movement. "I've always liked horses," Bill said, "and I've always wanted to help them do their job better, whatever it was that they had to do." On his website, you can read about Bill's book, True Horsemanship Through Feel, and his video on making reatas.

HorseCare

HorseCare is a site for naturally kept horses. Rather than take things for granted we want to encourage you to question why you do certain things to your horse, to maybe try different, kinder methods, and generally be more aware of daily habits that become a routine without considering whether or not they are helping the relationship between you and your horse and your ability to communicate with it. We want you to speak up about anything you think is questionable within the horse industry, on the local show level to the top competitions. Let's make our horses lives better, brighter and happier. It's up to us.
