Welcome to Bauhr Ranch Horsemanship!
Through the troubles of a project horse,"Buck", Steve had began to study the philosophy of Ray Hunt and Tom and Bill Dorrance. When He started to offer this to Buck, the results were amazing. Steve and Carolyn have continued down the path of better horsemanship by spending time and training with some of the best horsemen of our day. They have come to realize how important a solid foundation is on our horses and that without it we will always struggle. Starting young horses is Steve's passion and Steve and Carolyn also work with project horses (i.e., problem horses) that didn't fit into conventional programs or that never received a solid foundation. Carolyn has been around horses her whole life-from her days as a young girl riding the Los Angeles riverbeds with her father, to her days jumping with Donna Maddox in Modesto, and now working on our ranch helping to start the colts and doing clinics.
***We have two new DVDs about to be released: Trail Riding, When You Are Ready to Leave the Arena and Spring Tune Up, Preparing Your Horse to Be Ridden After A Long or Short Time Off.*** We've added a new page to our site called "Developing the Complete Horse and Rider". It's a new program based on two aspects of the horse: the horse's self-preservation and our responsibility to understand it and work with it. Check it out here! |

Steve and Carolyn Bauhr have been riding and loving horses since they first laid eyes on them and were old enough to ride. It was actually through a lack of horsemanship that they began this journey for excellence in horsemanship.
We emphasize foundation training from colt starting to restarting of the older horse. Our program treats all horses we work with as if they have never been started, filling in the gaps as we go.We look forward to working with you and your special horse(s) in building that solid foundation that will allow you to pursue any type of riding you choose.
