Trainers Hard at Work at Road to the Horse Competition

3/15/2014

0 Comments

 
The 2014 Road to the Horse competition is officially under way. Trainers Jim Anderson (of Canada), Antoine Cloux (of Switzerland), Dan Steers (of Australia), and Jonathan Field (of Canada) began the four-day challenge on Thursday. Participants in the Road to the Horse choose an unbroken horse and train it, over the course of four days, in front of an audience. Trainers and horses then display what they’ve learned in a judged challenge during the last day in which they must navigate a series of obstacles.

Designed to demonstrate the gentler and more positive methods to training horses, the competition has run since 2003 and has attracted renowned trainers including Stacy Westfall, Tommy Garland, and John Lyons. Guy McLean won last year’s Road to the Horse challenge, ultimately riding his horse bridleless during the last portion of his final judged run. Watch his winning ride below.
