Comments:  I had the opportunity to ride with and learn from Gary Bailey last month during a Joe Wolter clinic.  Joe had broken a leg and couldn't ride, and Gary demonstrated the roping and horsemanship concepts that Joe could not.  Gary demonstrated through the clinic that he is quite a hand in his own right, and his knowledge and skill as a horseman and roper made that clinic much more valuable to me and the others attending.  In the picture, Gary is demonstrating how to halter a colt for the first time.  If you have a colt that needs starting the right way or if you'd like a horsemanship and roping clinician to teach an event, you can do no better than Gary Bailey!

Comments: I attended one of Joe Wolter's Home Ranch clinics with my Quarter Horse after he had bucked me off and bruised my ribs.  After that episode, I lacked confidence in my horse and I suspect that he lacked confidence in me.  After four days of riding under Joe's supervision, that confidence has been restored and strengthened.  My horse is more responsive than ever before and I'm riding him better than ever.  Working cattle and roping horseback were new skills that Joe started me on and I'm looking forward to returning for more instruction in the near future.  If you have a chance to attend one of Joe Wolter's clinics at his home ranch or elsewhere, do yourself and your horse a favor and go!

Also Joe and Jimmie's hospitality were great -- I felt like a family friend rather than a clinic participant.  The accommodations were very comfortable and the food plentiful and home-cooked.
