Olsen’s Grain is proud to host world-renowned horseman and clinician Buster McLaury for two Horsemanship Clinics during Olsen’s Arizona Equifest.  Buster presents his Horsemanship 1 & 2 Classes on Friday, September 16th at the Prescott Rodeo Grounds.

Buster McLaury brings a unique perspective into his clinics and demos. Having made his living cowboying all of his life, he has worked literally thousands of horse and hundreds of thousands of cattle. Over 40 years around livestock has provided him with a wealth of information, experience, and stories which he readily shares with others.

Each Horsemanship Clinic has space for up to ten individuals along with your horse. Cost is $100 for a 3 Hour Session. If you sign up for both classes, the cost is $150 per class.

Horsemanship 1 Clinic – Friday, September 16th – 9 am to 12 pm

Buster believes that good horsemanship begins on the ground. He believes that the understanding, confidence, softness, attitude, etc. that you have on the ground with your horse will carry right over into the saddle. This class is designed to help the horse and human develop their relationship in the saddle.  Most of the session time will be spent on proper and safe leading, lunging, backing, and ground manners. Some time will be spent riding after Buster determines the groundwork is satisfactory. Class size limited to 10 riders with horses.

Horsemanship 2 Clinic – Friday, September 16th – 1 pm to 4 pm

This class is designed to help achieve a higher level of communication between the horse and rider. It emphasizes the rider’s awareness of what the horse needs to do with his feet and balance, cues, seat position, etc. so that he can be more clear with his instructions to the horse and make it easier for the horse to understand and do what the owner is asking. It should also make the rider more aware of where the horse is in his understanding of what the rider is asking, and help the rider learn to work with horse right where is, so that the rider can better prepare his horse for what he needs to do in the future.  Class size limited to 10 riders with horses.

Sign up and pay the registration fee before September 3rd at any Olsen’s Grain location or call 928-636-2321. Don’t have or want to bring your horse but still want to learn Horsemanship from Buster? Come audit the event all day for $25.00
