Quality herbs and supplements for your horses and other animals

An early explorer and adopter of Natural Horsemanship, author and trainer. His books include: Sadly Ray Hunt has passed away but his mastery of communicating horsemanship to humans and horses lives on. Many trainers today including Dr Robert Miller, Parelli and Roberts cite Hunt as instrumental for them in their own horsemanship evolution, 31 August 1929 – 12 March 2009. Hunt was a cowboy with a mission. One of the country's top horsemen, Hunt was a familiar American hero with a surprising slant on what horsemanship is all about. With unorthodox methods, he emphasizes cooperation and respect over coercion. Hunt not only out-cowboys the cowboys, but also persuades others that getting along with a horse means working on ourselves.
