Spending his summers in the north country MT., and his winters in the valley of the sun AZ., Newt made the most of every day with his horses and clients.
There isn't a lot of change in Newt's activities since his begining to now. With this picture of him shoeing his first horse at 4 years old you can see he was consistent with the way he chooses to spend his time. Well, maybe there's no shoeing hammer in his hand, but picture is proof that horses always have. Newt was also a consistent student. Although his activities don't vary, his techniques were always advancing with his continuel thirst for learning. This also made Newt a great teacher.
Newt has answered his thirst for learning by surrounding himself with friends and professionals in several different equestrian industries. Just ask him questions about you favorite horse event, his list of friends in that sport with make you reach for your autograph book.
Newt has raised children, taught school, instructed hundreds in the rodeo arena, and still loves to help someone who wants to learn. Having worked on ranches in the north country where he raised a family after years of the rodeo life, Newt shares life stories as he instructs in his clinic. Horseshoeing instructor for the University of California, he has a lot to say about a well shod animal.
Lessons from Newt were from a Horse perspective
Newt does not intend on giving riding or roping lessons.
This teacher is going to prepare your horse for the performance that you desire from the horse. Show horses, rodeo, rope, or ranch horses, they will stay sound longer.
Riders / Trainers
The cow trains the horse, this aproach is not to make you into the horse trainer, and not to make you the perfect rider. You will gain an understanding of how your horse works that will take the pressure off of you and your horse.
The cow is getting the lesson from "us". My horse and I.
The horse is not my student, I'm not the trainer. Cows train my horses.
