Craig Cameron

One of the most successful horse trainers and clinicians these days is Craig Cameron. He’s been around for quite a while doing his horse thing but television has really allowed the public to see him. I like his RFD-TV Ride Smart series that covers all kinds of interesting things and lately his Extreme Cowboy Race program. He’s also been selected to be one of the three contestants in the 2010 Road to the Horse competition that starts today.

From his website:
“A Native Texan Craig Cameron, one of the original clinicians, is on the road more than 44 weeks a year covering 80,000 miles demonstrating the style of horsemanship he has perfected in the last 23 years. Called the “public defender of the horse,” Craig dedicates himself to those who educate their horses by first educating themselves.

“At an age where most have long since retired the thought of starting colts, Craig Cameron known as “The Cowboy’s Clinician,” starts hundreds of horses each year; plus his four-day clinics held at his Double Horn ranch in Bluff Dale, Texas and in Lincoln, New Mexico blend education with entertainment.

“Clinic topics range from basic to advanced horsemanship, colt starting, ranch and cattle work, problem-solving, reining and trail obstacles. This year he plans to incorporate horse-camping and back-country riding techniques into his lesson plans……

“Craig, a life-long rancher, working cowboy and horse trainer, has just about done it all from cow-calf, stocker operations, custom hay-baling, or capturing wild cattle for fellow ranchers. After years of bull riding on the professional rodeo circuit and successfully operating his cattle business, Craig, decided that it was truly the horse that attracted him. He soon discovered his aptitude for communicating with the horse and meticulously refined and nurtured this talent. He wanted to give back something to the horse. When he was ready, he began conducting western horsemanship clinics and demonstrations to help riders increase their knowledge and understanding of their horse and to keep the cowboy tradition alive……

“Craig has worked with and for such notables as Lynn Anderson, Ralph Lauren, Ty Murray, Michael Martin Murphy, Cody Lambert, Bum Phillips, Charmayne James, Bob Moorehouse, Buck Taylor and others. Singing artist Red Steagall says, “Cameron’s year includes hundreds of public appearances nationwide, in Europe and in the Canadian Provinces. He always entertains the crowd and he’s as good with a horse as anybody I have ever seen.”

And like everyone these days he has a line of products that you can get at his website.
