U.S. Horsemanship

Horsemanship in the United States has a rich history and tradition.  Our sport has undergone huge changes since the days of Col. Guy Henry.  Check back with this page as I outline our wonderful horsemanship tradition.

For now, please peruse the links that I have included, the first being my blog about the history of riding at http://ushorsemanship.com/  

Thanks,

Barbara Fox
