Profile Information

A Bit About Me and my Horse(s): I'm from Australia and founded Stephenville, Texas-based Downunder Horsemanship in 1998 after moving to America in 1996. I'm a two-time winner of the Road to the Horse colt starting championship, a head-to-head competition between top equine trainers in which each uses his own training method to train an unbroken horse to ride in just three hours. In both competitions, my grand finale was riding the horse standing on its back, while cracking a stock whip. I try to inspire the dreams of all levels of horse enthusiasts with expertise and a no-nonsense, results–getting approach I call “The Method.”

Training Tip of the Week: Learn the One Rein Stop for greater confidence in the saddle.

The One Rein Stop is the first thing I teach every single rider in my clinics as soon as they get on the horse’s back. Why? Because once they realize that they can stop their horses anytime, anywhere, whenever they want, you wouldn’t believe the amount of…
