Gentle Horsemanship


Extreme Mustang Makeovercanter

logoEd was honored to be selected as a participating trainer in the Extreme Mustang Makeover competition Oct. 22 - 24 in Murfreesboro, TN.  In conjunction with and under the sponsorship of Carter Farms in Chattanooga, TN, Ed picked up his untouched mustang on July 17th.  These wild mustangs were recently rounded up from the open range in Nevada.  Each of the 100 trainers selected to compete in the Extreme Mustang Makeover will have 100 days to train their mustangs and then bring them to Murfreesboro, TN in October to show, before a live audience and a panel of judges, how much he has been able to accomplish with his mustang.  This promises to be a very exciting event! 


Spanish Stallions

Ed recently worked with renowned trainer and popular entertainer Laura Amandis and her Lipizzaner and Andalusian performance stallions. http://www.lauraamandis.com/.

Laura and her fine stallions spent a few days at the Ed Dabney Gentle Horsemanship Training Facility as we helped her start her young Lipizzaner stallion and worked on the art of classical riding, advanced liberty performance and the mounted haute ecole' movements.

Ultimate Horsemanship Challenge

Ed was invited to judge the Ultimate Horsemanship Challenge which was held on June 28th at the Rockin S Arena in Buckhead, GA  http://www.ultimatehorsemanshipchallenge.com/ .  Ed was impressed with the high level of horsemanship ability shown by all of the participants.  "I encourage folks to become involved in these types of events.  Negotiating difficult obstacles with your horse provides great benefits in building better relationships between horse and rider and certainly increases mutual confidence and trust."  Congratulations to Sue Vetsch and her crew for producing a top notch event!
