Jeff was born in Merced California and raised on the Central Coast, right in the heart of Vaquero country. Jeff is a 6th generation Californian. He is one of very few teaching the California Vaquero style of horsemanship
who was raised in the traditions. He travels around the world teaching horsemanship and preserving the traditions of old Spanish California.

Very excited to dig a little deeper into horsemanship and riding theory. Do you ever stop for a moment and wonder just what, exactly, you're supposed to be working on? Many of us may know "what" we'd like to do with our horses, but what does that boil down to in basic fundamentals? Find out in this series, continuing on today with the idea of "Balance & Strength"!

It was a lot of fun (and thought-provoking!) to visit with Anna, after having met her at Equidays here in New Zealand in '18. She has such a way with horses and words!
Anna Blake is a horse advocate, trainer, international clinician, and award-winning author of six books. Anna believes affirmative training principles build a Relaxed & Forward foundation that crosses over all riding disciplines in the same way that the understanding of Calming Signals benefits all equine communication. We hold a profound concern for the horse’s mental and physical welfare.
“It’s serious training but I keep a light heart because horses like us that way.” At home at Infinity Farm, on the windy treeless prairie of Colorado, with a multi-species herd of horses, llamas, goats, dogs, and our moral compass, Edgar Rice Burro.

It is an honor to have caught up with Colton Woods recently! We haven't met in person yet, but have enjoyed getting to know one another through social media and visiting on one another's podcasts. It is always enjoyable to visit with a like-minded student of the horse!
Colton is an evolving horseman who is dedicated to teaching his students a progressive horsemanship approach built on practical application and understanding of the horse on a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual level. Colton has a deep passion for bringing together the similarities and uniqueness, which both Dressage and the Vaquero Bridle Horse traditions have to offer. He is continually pushing himself personally and professionally to develop his own understandings, insights, and skill sets to help better serve the horses and humans that he is blessed to work with.
To Colton, horsemanship is not just a way to train a horse, but it is everything we do with our horses and in our own lives. Colton and his wife, Maredith, own and operate Colton Woods Horsemanship based in Lexington, Kentucky. They serve the their clients through their Online Video Library, the Heart of Horsemanship Podcast, teaching horse and human development clinics, training horses and teaching lessons.
