Craig Cameron
Craig has created a program that builds confidence and trust between man and horse. Rather than fight the animal, he offers patience and understanding that leaves the horse wanting to do what is asked of him. In the early 80’s Craig was fortunate to meet a man named Ray Hunt who opened his eyes to the art of working through understanding when training horses. Building upon his experiences, Craig uses a philosophy of teaching that eliminates rough handling of horses earning him a well-deserved international following.
Craig’s hard work has not gone unnoticed In 2002, he was awarded the prestigious Working Cowboy of the Year award by the American Cowboy Culture Awards Committee, he was one of only three men selected to participate in the First Whisper Challenge Competition in August of 2002. Craig is also featured weekly in Hoof Beats on cable TV and is a regular on R-FD-TV. Cameron’s cowboy humor, often compared to Will Rogers, and his common sense approach (Craig calls it horse-sense) are opening the eyes of horses and horse enthusiasts world-wide. Put to the test by countless numbers of tough horses, Craig Cameron is still going strong. He was recently asked by a reporter, “I guess you are going to “ride until hell freezes over.” Craig’s reply, “When hell freezes over, I am going to start riding on ice,” The reporter’s response, “...and that’s Craig Cameron.”
