Zen Horse

Zen Horse
The English term Zen master is often used to refer to important teachers, especially ancient and medieval ones. However, there is no specific criterion by which one may be called a Zen master. The term is less common in reference to modern teachers. In the Open Mind Zen School, English terms have been substituted for the Japanese ones to avoid confusion of this issue. "Assistant Zen Teacher" is a person authorized to begin to teach, but still under the supervision of his teacher. "Zen Teacher" applies to one authorized to teach without further direction, and "Zen Master" refers to one who is a Zen Teacher and has founded his or her own teaching center.
We have several Zen Master’s in the equine industry, accomplished horsemen and horse women that have outstanding ability to teach us skills to improve our abilities with handling the horse.
Today I am showcasing one of them Chris Cox. His new book part of the Western Horseman Series is “Ride the Journey”. A step-by-step guide to authentic horsemanship. 18 chapters with over 200 color photos reveals his common-sense approach to becoming a better horseman or horsewomen. His step by step training methods allow you to establish a strong foundation for your riding program as you gain the knowledge and confidence necessary to reach your horsemanship goals while riding in the arena, on the ranch or down the trail.
Chris helps you put horsemanship theory into practice as he guides you from equine psychology and equipment basics through groundwork and trailer-loading. As you progress, you learn to develop a natural head-set on your horse and a ready response to leg cues-the basics for collected movement and advanced maneuvers. Chris’ chapters on trail riding, cattle work and starting colts ensure that you make the most of your growing skills in fun and challenging ways.
