Unique program presents natural horsemanship methods used at Le Cense Montana through book and DVD.<\/span><\/p>\n

America\u2019s Horse<\/span>, January 10, 2008<\/span> \u2013 The American Quarter Horse Association, a longtime industry leader, continues its innovative path by being the first association to offer a comprehensive horsemanship book. Developed through an educational partnership with La Cense Montana, \u201cAQHA\u2019s Fundamentals of Horsemanship: Step 1\u201d and \u201cAQHA\u2019s Fundamentals of Horsemanship: Step 2\u201d are guides to horsemanship and training techniques developed to bring horses and their owners closer.<\/p>\n

Each book contains more than 100 step-by-step photographs to demonstrate 30 exercises to help people develop better relationships with their horses. A 90-minute DVD is included with each book and demonstrates each exercise using the scenic La Cense Montana Ranch as a backdrop. The program was reviewed by a panel of AQHA professionals to ensure the methods were safe and easy to understand.<\/p>\n

AQHA has long been dedicated to educating current and would-be horse owners and, as a recognized industry leader, has developed educational programs that are widely used throughout the world. \u201cAQHA\u2019s Fundamentals of Horsemanship\u201d advances the Association\u2019s mission statement to develop diverse educational programs, material and curriculum that will position AQHA as the leading resource organization in the equine industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more we understand how to work with our horses, the more pleasure they bring,\u201d said Ward Stutz, AQHA\u2019s director of education, member programs and youth activities. \u201c\u2018AQHA\u2019s Fundamentals of Horsemanship\u2019 is intended to give horse owners new tools to use while building a lasting partnership with their horses.\u201d<\/p>\n
