“I’m here for the horse,
to help him get a better deal.”

- Ray Hunt

Ray Hunt was not only an exceptional horseman but also a profoundly influential educator. His clinics, which he pioneered, transformed the way countless individuals approached their horses.

Through Ray’s clear guidance and emphasis on "feel, timing, and balance," he empowered people to better understand horses from their perspective.

Ray and Carolyn Hunt's travels across the country, and indeed the world, simply made it possible for many more horse people to experience Ray's practical approach firsthand.

Beyond animal interaction, his philosophy encourages self-awareness and empathetic leadership, ultimately influencing individuals to cultivate their best selves in all aspects of life.

Whispers of the wild, in the dust of the trail, the legacy rides on,
with tales that unveil.

Bill, Tom and Ray embody the essence of 20th and 21st Century Horsemanship. Their teachings honor the American West cowboy way of life.
