Road to the Horse

Guy McLean, one half of the Australian duo that swept Road to the Horse International 2012, announces his bid for Road to the Horse gold in 2013, this time by himself.

Road to the Horse 2013 will bring horseman from around the globe to compete in the World Championship of Colt Starting. Unlike the team format of 2012, these horsemen will represent their countries as individuals.  As the first of four competitors to be announced, McLean will carry the Australian flag and has his sights on once again being on top of the world. The remaining 2013 International competitors will be announced one by one in upcoming weeks.

In just three days inexperienced colts transform into willing partners.  Clinicians work through the process using their own style of natural horsemanship giving spectators a chance to learn from the best in the world, all in one place.

The event will expand into the AllTech Arena inside the Kentucky Horse Park on March 15-17, 2013.  Tickets for this electrifying event are on sale now at roadtothehorse.com and are going fast. Don’t miss out on the hottest ticket in the equine world!

The Kentucky Horse Park, renovated for the 2010 World Equestrian Games, was designed to host events like Road to the Horse.  The site has hosted a multitude of national and international equine events and boasts an on-site campground, nearby racehorse farms and historical sites. With these

Producer Tootie Bland is excited that Road to the Horse is on the road to Lexington.  She calls the Kentucky Horse Park a “world-class facility” and a perfect place for the event’s many supporters to explore and enjoy.

Road to the Horse Nation members will also benefit with “Legacy Seating” in Lexington, which will allow them to find their home away from home at Road to the Horse. Seats chosen for the 2013 event can be retained in their name for years to come. No more hassles to insure they get the best seats in the house.

Sylvester, Texas, March 14, 2012 — It was the shout heard around the world as Guy McLean, covering his face with his hands, threw his arms in the air and grabbed teammate Dan James after hearing Team Australia announced as winners of Road to the Horse International March 11 in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

In an intense and close race over three days filled with excellent horsemanship and a few moments of high drama, Team Australia made what will now become a prolonged visit to the United States even more worthwhile with the win.

James of North Arm Cove, New South Wales and McLean of Hervey Bay, Queensland, went into the final round of competition, the challenging obstacle course, in a close race with Team USA, made up of veteran clinicians Craig Cameron of Bluff Dale, Texas, and Pat Parelli of Pagosa Springs, Colo. Team Canada, consisting of British Columbia horsemen Glenn Stewart of Baldonnel and Jonathan Field of Abbotsford, were no slackers, either, having taken on two challenging horses to make it to the obstacle course.

Producer Tootie Bland threw the first twist into the event before the competition even started, offering a total of 40 points to the team willing to switch horses selected from the remuda of well-bred American Quarter Horse geldings provided by the Four Sixes Ranch of Guthrie, Texas. After a brief conference, the only team to take the bait was Team Canada.

Even so, Team USA took the first round of competition from inside the W-W Livestock round pens with a combined score of 691 from head judge Mike Kevil of Arizona and judges Jack Brainard of Texas, Dr. Robert Miller of California, Cody Lambert of Texas, Hugh McLennan of British Columbia and Australian Wayne Robinson of Texas.

Going into the second round, Bland didn’t have to add any new twists because Mother Nature added her own, hitting the guts of both horse and man. Pat Parelli’s original remuda selection was replaced for its protection while Dan James suddenly fell ill during the morning demonstrations. Judges and contestants met to determine a fair solution, agreeing that Parelli would receive a new horse and begin again at 5:30 a.m. the final day, while James’s business partner, Dan Steers, would be allowed to serve as wrangler for Guy McLean during the morning training session. James, in the meantime, received prompt attention from the production crew who provided fluids and medication and ensured that he received IV fluids to combat dehydration. James did return for the afternoon session to continue training with his horse. At the end of the second round, Team Australia had the slight upper hand with a score of 715 to Team USA’s 699. Team Canada followed with a score of 673.

The final round, the challenging obstacle course, has always been the game changer, and Bland, true to form, made it even more so, coming back with an offer to award 60 extra points to the team who would switch horses again. So, after a quick conferral, Teams USA and Canada stuck to their original mounts, and Team Australia made the switch, saying they would never be able to live it down at home if they didn’t.

Snap that whip times two, Guy McLean adds an element to the classic Road to the Horse pose.

McLean was the first to take on the course aboard Remember Sunset, a gray gelding trained initially by James. After a bit of “getting to know you,” McLean established the partnership and started off on his declared moves, which required a walk, trot and canter both ways of the ring, a 180 degree turn each way, mount and dismount, stop and back. Then onto the obstacle course where the gray seemed to grow in its acceptance of McLean with every step, taking on both mystery obstacles (a bell suspended over a bridge, which was required, and a water obstacle, which was optional). McLean then ended his performance standing on the back of the horse, snapping two whips simultaneously.

James, on the other hand, took Valliant Paddy, a sorrel trained and purchased by McLean, confidently, but carefully through the course, with moves that were somewhat cleaner. He hit a snag when crossing the ground tarp, but once he showed the horse resistance was futile it was smooth sailing from that point forward.

Team Canada had strong performances as well, with Jonathan Field completing the course in solid fashion on Fletches Stoli and Glenn Stewart making a nail-biter of a performance, spending a great deal of time in the round pen saddling and working Sixes Peg prior to starting the obstacle course and bringing the house down with his own exuberant finish.

Craig Cameron takes jump with pizazz!

Craig Cameron of Team USA brought his usual humorous perspective to the obstacle course, as well, while Pat Parelli, allowed to go last due to the late start with Bucks Attraction, gave one of the best performances of the day, working his palomino horse sans bit throughout the AQHA-sponsored obstacle course without a hitch and completing it to the roar of the crowd.

Scores were displayed to the crowd at the close of each round and before the mental math was complete, Team Australia was crowned the winner with a total score, including the bonus points, of 2,780, with Team USA in second with a score of 2,687 followed by Team Canada with a score of 2,471.

“This was truly a great birthday,” said McLean, celebrating March 11. “I have so much admiration for the other horsemen who were here today and am so thankful to everyone who supported us. I just can’t believe it.”

James, who also purchased his horse following the event, said he was shocked. “It was so close,” he said. “I really didn’t know how it would go, but this was an amazing competition.” Both trainers were awarded with the AQHA Traveler award for their win and the purchase of their horses.

McLean will continue with his tour of the United States and said he will likely travel back and forth between Australia and the U.S. for an undetermined amount of time, while James is taking up residence at Taylor Made Farms in Lexington, Ky., which will serve as a base while he travels the U.S. and works with Taylor Made Sales operations.

“I am so proud of all the horsemen who took part in this competition,” said Road to the Horse producer Tootie Bland. “Making it a team competition brought out the best in all of these great horsemen as they worked together for a common goal. It was so gratifying to hear them encourage and advise one another throughout the event and I believe our sold-out audience really appreciated their comradery.”

In addition to a $10,000 cash prize awarded to the charity of their choice, Team Australia took home Martin Saddles with custom Gist conchos memorializing Road to the Horse co-founder Steven “Dooky” Bland, custom headstalls from Daryl Davis and Flying D Enterprises, custom saddle pads from CSI Saddle Pads, hats from J.W. Brooks and custom braided romal reins from elite US braider Kyanna Fejes.

James, in a follow up message to Tootie Bland, summed his feelings up best. “Did this weekend really happen?,” he said. Road to the Horse will follow the progress of James and Remember Sunset and McLean and Valliant Paddy throughout the year.

Road to the Horse will head to Kentucky March 15-17 in Lexington, Ky. Information about the event and ticket sales will be available in May. Go to www.roadtothehorse.com for more information or call 325.736.5000.

Living in Noodle, Texas, doesn’t often lend itself to offering a person an international perspective on things, but I got a wake up call to how international Road to the Horse has become a couple of months ago.

I have to admit, when I think of places Road to the Horse might be popular,  I think of countries like Australia or Canada . . . the countries four of this year’s competitors hail from. Italy, Germany and other points across “the pond” in Europe also come to mind because of the great work the American Quarter Horse Association has done in expanding it’s reach there and around the world. But probably the one place I never thought I’d get a phone call from was Israel.

Israel. Kind of appropriate for this month since we are celebrating holidays that were born in that country – Hannukah and Christmas. When I think of Israel, I think of deserts, the conflict with the Palestinians that we constantly hear about on the news, but I don’t think of horses.

Amir and steed near the sea of Galillee

The phone rang here at the ranch and on the other end of the line was a fella named Amir Shalev. He is working to help other Israeli riders learn more about natural horsemanship and comes to the U.S. each year to attend Chris Cox or Clinton Anderson clinics. He told me that there were about 4,000 horsemen in Israel and most of them know nothing about natural horsemanship. Now, he was calling to find out if he could “screen” a Road to the Horse DVD for young riders and show them more about what natural horsemanship was through the skills of those who are best at it.

You can guess my answer. It was a resounding “Yes!” Amir wanted to charge for attendance, which we agreed to if he agreed to donate the proceeds to a youth group in his area (copyright laws kept him from keeping the money).

More than 80 people came to the event and eight of the group ordered DVD’s to learn more about natural horsemanship.

Thrilled doesn’t begin to describe how I felt. When Steven and I started this event more than 10 years ago, we could not imagine what it would do to educate people about natural horsemanship. In our minds, we believed horsemen in the United States and maybe Canada would get on board to see these horsemen and women perform what some see as a miracle, but is, in fact, a method that is best for the horse and the long-term relationship we often look for to get the most from that relationship.

Road to the Horse is and has always been about the horse and the fact that it has gone beyond our borders is truly incredible. Thank you for making it happen.

Road to the Horse fans typically wait with anticipation to learn the identities of clinicians and judges, but even more so of the acclaimed Four Sixes horses that will make their way into the arena March 9. At that moment, fans will have the opportunity to see them live for the first time and perhaps claim one as their own. To add to the excitement, the American Quarter Horse Association, representing the official breed of Road to the Horse, will award the purchaser of the winning horse a coveted “Traveler’s” trophy.

Road to the Horse starts it’s three day run in Murfreesboro, Tenn., at the Tennessee Miller Coliseum. Already close to a sell-out, remaining tickets are available at www.roadtothehorse.com.

Thundering into the arena March 9 will be a band of brothers who have spent the last year of their lives roaming the legendary canyons and pastures of the 6666 Ranch in Guthrie, Texas. Selected by Dr. Glenn Blodgett, 6666 horse division manager and head veterinarian, the horses are progeny of horses who trace to the historic stallions of the Four Sixes, including great American Quarter Horse foundation stallions, Grey Badger II, Hollywood Gold and Joe Hancock. The Four Sixes continues its influence in current generations with the mark of former champions Dash for Cash and Streakin Six, as well as Tanquery Gin, and currently stand an impressive array of both performance and racing stallions that includes NCHA Futurity Champion Royal Fletch and AQHA World Champion Genuine Masterpiece.

Four Sixes American Quarter Horses are bred to have cow sense, speed, gentleness and good looks. Some are kept for use on the ranch, others are trained for racing or performance competition, and some of the best are regularly consigned to several of the most prestigious auction sales in the United States, including an annual sale put on by the Four Sixes along with other noteworthy ranches.

All Four Sixes horses presented at Road to the Horse will be available for sale to the public, including those being gentled by competing clinicians Craig Cameron, Pat Parelli, Jonathan Field, Glenn Stewart, Guy McClean and Dan James. Interested persons may make inquiries at the Four Sixes booth during Road to the Horse.

To learn more about the Four Sixes, go to www.6666ranch.com. Horses will be available for preview on-line at roadtothehorse.com and at the event.

Some great Canadians have crossed the border to bring their talents and influence to the United States. Actors like Michael J. Fox. Entertainers like Celine Dion. And even great rodeo competitors like Robin Burwash. But a new brand of Canadian influence is heading to the lower 48 as Canadian clinicians Jonathan Field and Glenn Stewart come to Road to the Horse International.

Featuring three teams of clinicians from the United States, Australia and Canada, Road to the Horse International will be held at Tennessee Miller Coliseum in Murfreesboro, Tenn., March 9-11. Nearly sold out, the remaining tickets are now on sale at www.roadtothehorse.com.

Field, of Abbotsford, British Columbia, has a gentle demeanor that translates clearly to the horses he trains. Starting as a hunt seat equestrian, Field began his professional career with horses following a tragic accident that nearly amputated his arm. While in the hospital, Jonathan’s mind kept returning to horses and to the dream of the connection he wanted with them. That vision gave him purpose and conviction, and Jonathan decided to dedicate his life to achieving that goal: To become the best horseman he could be. Jonathan’s success is not a surprise when you consider the gracious help, time and experience so many wise and talented horseman have personally shared with him. This willingness to share knowledge has sparked Jonathan to go the extra mile to help a student or a troubled horse, sometimes late into the evening at a clinic. He’ll say the best way to repay your teachers is by passing it on to others.

Stewart, of Baldonnel, British Columbia, admits that his methods have changed over the lifetime he has spent with horses. Moving from what was seen as traditional cowboy methods to natural horsemanship has made Stewart one of the most recognized clinicians in Canada. Glenn’s work and knowledge with horses is very diversified; he has taught clinics and given demonstrations for some of the top Lusitano breeders of Brazil,  puts on Colt Starting clinics in the Rocky Mountains 100 miles from the nearest road, and prepares performance horses for competition and sales.  He also does management consulting for equine facilities, implementing his Horse Development Program for everything from breeding farms, cutting horses, hunter jumpers to working equitation and dressage.

Australian Dan James and 2012 Road to the Horse clinician first caught the eye of Road to the Horse producer Tootie Bland when he first took to the arena at Project Cowboy, co-produced by the blazing fast blonde and Extreme Mustang Makeover creatorPatti Colbert.

“I kept my eye on him, because there was an idea brewing in my head about Road to the Horse and taking it to the next level,” Bland said. “Project Cowboy was a great proving ground for him because I not only got to see what he was like as a horseman, but I also got to see how he related to the audience and what he might be like on camera. Needless to say, he became my new Robert Redford, looks and all.”

Project Cowboy returns to the arena, times three, when it comes back in 2012 and Bland will be there scouting for her next new star.

Project Cowboy, presented by the American Quarter Horse Association, seeks the individual who best represents the spirit of the cowboy. Cowboy isn’t the clothes you wear or the saddle you ride, but a state of mind. From equitation riders to rodeo competitors, mailmen to ranch hands, ordinary to extraordinary, Project Cowboy puts riders from all different disciplinesthrough the paces to find the winner, who will ride away with $10,000 cash and many benefits to help launch their equine career.

Competition will take place at the Horse Expo Pomona February 2-4, 2012 in Pomona, Calif., for cowboys only; at the Western States Expo in Sacramento, June 8-10, 2012, for cowgirls only; and then for both men and women at Taking The Reins August 17-19, 2012 in Madison, Wis.

“The fact that Project Cowboy is expanding its reach by offering men only and women only events, along with events in different areas, makes it a must-see for people searching for that great horseman or horsewoman who may be among us, but not well known,” Bland said. “Road to the Horse adds to that picture by providing them a platform to prove themselves even more.”

Road to the Horse is a one-of-a-kind experience thatcombines education and entertainment for an all out horsemanship experience.

The competition has in the past taken three internationally known, elite horse trainers and clinicians and puts them up against each other for the esteemed title of Road to the Horse Champion. These competitors choose a horse out of the remuda, a group of 10 horses, and they begin building a relationship between horse and human.

Unlike a horse show, these competitors are judged not only on a final test of skill, but the means to the end result. The goal of Road to the Horse is to teach horsemen and women that natural horsemanship is a kinder, gentler way of working with horses.

Road to the Horse fans continually ask the question, “What were the scores of the competitors?” While the event program included a score card a couple years ago, never before have the competitor scores been released to event attendees. Featuring a new international team format, Road to the Horse in Murfreesboro, TN on March 9-11, 2012 will be judged and scored a bit differently than in the past, including a live display of the scores at the event.

Gathering the best of the best from across the world, Road to the Horse 2012 International will feature the all-star lineup of Guy McLean and Dan James on Team Australia, Jonathan Field and Glenn Stewart on Team Canada and Craig Cameron and Pat Parelli on Team USA.

“Each team member will be responsible for putting their best foot forward and contributing to the team score. Because Road to the Horse 2012 International is a team effort, we’ll not only be displaying each competitor’s individual round pen and obstacle course scores broken down into judging categories but also the total team scores bigger than life on the Road to the Horse Jumbo-Tron,” says Tootie Bland, Road to the Horse owner and producer.

After the largest ever Road to the Horse remuda comes thundering into the arena in all the glory that the Four Sixes Ranch has to provide, the colt selection process will begin. The competitors will walk two by two into the midst of the remuda, carefully surveying the behavior of each horse in order to determine the best matches for their team. Each clinician will choose a colt with the assistance of their teammate. After their selections, they alone will be responsible for starting the career of their new equine partner.

A grand total of 4 round pen challenges, 2 on Friday and 2 on Saturday, will give competitors the opportunity to display their horsemanship ability and prove exactly why they were chosen to compete in the World Championship of Colt-Starting. Each round pen challenge will consist of 3 round pens set up in the arena, with one competitor for each team in a round pen. The second competitor on the team will offer guidance, advice and support to their teammate from outside the pen during the session. Although the clinician on the outside of the round pen is not allowed to touch or train his teammate’s horse, he can earn points for teamwork.

Friday will kick off the competition with the first round pen challenges while the second round pen challenges will take place on Saturday. The scores from each competitor will be displayed on the Road to the Horse Jumbo-Tron immediately after each round pen session and will be broken down into individual judging categories.

Sunday will feature all six individual competitors completing their own obstacle course on the colt that they started during the previous two days. After all six obstacle courses have been completed, all course scores will be displayed on the Jumbo-Tron and the totals of all sessions will be provided to determine the winning team.

To further test the merit and confidence of the international teams, Bland will announce an optional “twist” at the event that will award bonus points towards the competitors should they accept the challenge.

“We’ll find out how confident they are in their team and if they are gamblers or not. No one knows what the twist is but me. I always like to throw in a surprise for both the competitors and the attendees. Of course there will still be two mystery obstacles during the obstacle course, but this is an added bonus that will leave you holding on to the edge of your seat!” says Bland.

A variety of seating tickets are available ranging in price from $80-100 for general seating to $150-200 for premier seats with all tickets good for all three days of the event. A special seating block is available for Road to the Horse Nation members, where they can cheer on their favorite competitors while enjoying camaraderie with fellow members and horsemen.

Also, don’t miss out on tickets to the Prichards Distillery VIP Suite, where you can meet and mingle with the competitors, judges and other influential people in the equine industry while enjoying catered meals, adult beverages and live feed of the event from comfy couches.

The entire equine industry has been abuzz since the 2011 Road to the Horse Legends event which matched the United States’ three largest superstar clinicians against one another in a horsemanship duel of epic proportions. The twenty million dollar question everyone has been asking since is “How are you going to top this?” Event Owner/Producer Tootie Bland’s answer? Go global, find the world’s best clinicians, place them in an innovative international team format and let them go toe to toe for the World Championship of Colt Starting at the 2012 Road to the Horse March 9-11, 2012 in Murfreesboro, TN.

“Going global means new horsemen, new styles of horsemanship and an exciting challenge to see who’s the best in the world.  Road to the Horse will host the first ever International Match in Colt Starting. We have invited Australia and Canada to see if they can match the talent in the United States. National Pride is on the line and we will find out in Murfreesboro who rules the world.  This is going to more horsemanship in one arena than ever before. I can’t wait for this one!” says Bland.

Traditionally, three to four clinicians have been matched up for this prestigious competition which gives competitors just a few short hours over two days to train an untouched young horse to accept a rider in front of a standing-room-only live audience and the attentive eyes of the worldwide equine press corp. While training has been limited to two days in the past, the 2012 event will feature round pen sessions on all three days.

“We’re doubling down! Never before have six clinicians shared the arena floor and never before have we paired competitors up in a team format. Road to the Horse is known for its twists and turns and we’ll definitely have some challenges the competitors will have to face. The excitement of this event is destined to be Tennessee’s equivalent of the Kentucky Derby,” says Bland.
