Who is Richard Cadwell?

 

"Richard Caldwell trains his horses using only traditional Vaquero style methods. He learned these methods while working as a buckaroo for thirty years on a variety of ranches, including the great MC where he was Jigger Boss.

Richard is an active competitor. He has received the National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA)Superior Title on 7 horses, has been awarded the NRCHA certificate of ability on numerous horses, and has been a finalist multiple times. He is the only person to date to have won the NRCHA Triple Crown Hackamore on a 3 year old and has started horses that have gone on to win over a million dollars in reined cow horse, cutting and reined events. He has also received a variety of Snaffle Bit, Hackamore, Two–Rein and Bridle Championships outside of the NRCHA. Richard was and still is very active with various stock horse and ranch roping competitions. Along with his extensive show record, and demanding clinic schedule, Richard has also achieved the highest ranking of Master Farrier.

Richard and Nancy Caldwell currently reside in Alturas, California. They moved and settled into Alturas in 2003 and set up their training facility there. Prior to then, they were both active in Stock Horse competitions, primarily with the NRCHA.

They use, represent, and sell quality gear from top makers (& friends) that Richard has met through his travels.

Richard also travels extensively conducting clinics for intermediate and advanced riders who are looking to perfect their own style of riding, many are on the same path creating fine Bridle Horses. In 2011, Richard will be heading to Europe where he has been asked to conduct his horsemanship clinics. He tries to limit his clinics to an average of 15 a year, as his time is thinly spred between clinics, training horses, and various competitions.

When they are not busy competing and giving clinics, they are at home riding and training horses, most being their own." from http://www.vaquerohorseman.com/
