Join us this weekend at Snake River Arena in Blackfoot, Idaho for a horsemanship clinic with Carson James! We do have stalls and RV hookups available if needed. Sign-up online at Snakeriverarena.com.

Carson James comes from a Vaquero background and got his start working on large cattle ranches, riding horses all day, every day in real situations where things have to work.

His training foundation is based on feel, timing and clear communication.

What Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt laid down, he's working to carry forward, shaped by starting hundreds of colts, riding thousands of horses, and remaining a student of the horse.

This horsemanship clinic is open to all levels of riders. All horses are welcome as long as they can walk, trot and lope on a loose rein. Please bring a longer lead rope, flag and an O-ring snaffle (just in case).
