 EITAN
RETIRES FROM PUBLIC TRAINING IN 2009
Eitan has
retired from public training. He will no
longer be accepting outside horses. He
continues to train his own horses, make
DVD's, do clinics, equine expos and Light
Hands Horsemanship. His Cowboy Dressage
School of Horsemanship is a big hit and has
been full for each yearly session. He plans
to continue with this school and encourages
riders to contact him if interested.
Although retired he is still very busy, on
the road and often found in front of his
computer working on his latest video
production.
Eitan has a
number of his own young horses that show
promise and talent. He continues to train
them and may even show them in the future.
He will have young started horses and young
prospects for sale as well.
Having fallen
in love with Texas, the Gainesville
area he and his wife Debbie will be spending
part of their time there each year as well
as at their Wolf Creek Ranch in Grass
Valley, CA.

NOW AVAILABLE
POETRY IN MOTION
UNDERSTANDING THE HORSE FROM THE INSIDE OUT
|
Eitan has been
working on a new DVD for the
past two years. He is just now
finishing up the final touches
and it will be available for the
public in early March of 2009.
It is titled, Poetry in Motion,
Understanding the Horse From the
Inside Out. This video will
cover the horses muscular and
skeletal system and how it
relates to movement and cadence.
Eitan stresses that to be a
serious horseperson you must
understand the mechanics of the
horse underneath the rider. The
cadence and footfall of the
horse and the controlling of his
feet is another must know for
the dedicated horseperson. Eitan
covers all this so that it is
easily and clearly
understood. His use of
animation combined with actual
horses makes this DVD a must
have for "those that want to
know more." Already previewed by
some of the country's best
horsemen it is getting rave
reviews. |
This Poetry In Motion DVD is
"student friendly"
with menu and chapter selections
for easy review and learning. |

New Morgan Class Offered at 2009 Shows
If you attended a USEF Morgan Rules Forum in 2008, you had an opportunity to hear about a proposal that would bring Western Dressage to Morgan horse shows. You also heard and maybe asked lots of questions about just how this new class might work. The USEF Morgan Committee has continued to work with the group who proposed this and has attempted to work through the questions. The result of these efforts is a set of guidelines to help shows that wish to offer these classes and exhibitors who want to try something new and fun. Thanks to Kelly Dennison and Ellen DiBella for their expert work and problem solving and to the USEF staff for their patience. Enjoy your Morgan horses in yet another way this year!
For class information, specs and rules please go to:
www.morganhorse.com/news_events/latest_news/western_dressage
Western Dressage Division
The Western Dressage
classes would offer a place for the
western rider and horse to improve
them selves as individuals and
as partners through the use and
discipline of dressage. By using
dressage principles the western
rider will help their horse in
multiple ways such as cadence,
balance and carriage to name a few.
The use of dressage will help the
western horse to again work off his
rear end allowing for lightness in
the front end with a more natural
head set. Dressage itself will also
help greatly to maintain the
soundness of the horse for many
years.
It is important to
keep in mind that Western Dressage
encourages and will look
for “lightness.” In keeping with the
Western Tradition the “western”
allows the “dressage” to have a much
lighter contact, not always seen in
competition dressage.
If you are a dressage rider none of
this is new, but too many western
riders these teaching have been out
of reach or practice for them. It is
a "comfort zone" many in the past
have felt that "western" is not a
part of. We feel that the time is
right to open the dressage doors to
the western division. The
competitive bar will be raised as
well as the personal satisfaction in
knowing that "good " is being
done for both horse and
rider. These classes will also offer
a place where the western rider can
compete on a scoring system that
allows them to move "up" at their
own level. It is not just
a competitive format but an
educational one as well. For women
who wish to compete in reining but
can’t this is a perfect division as
an alternative.
The Western Dressage classes also
give a mature western horse (5 and
over) a place to be re-schooled with
the use of a snaffle. It is also a
place that a sour rail horse can
still be good competition horse. It
is a very good entry level for
individuals who wish to learn to
ride and show and riders returning
to competition. Plus it educates!!!
It is not the goal of the Western
Dressage classes to use Dressage
Horses under western tack. It is the
goal of the Western Dressage to
maintain the integrity and lightness
of the western horse and western
traditions through the use of
dressage. This is very important. A
western horse moves different,
Western Dressage can just help it
move "better"
Western Dressage is all about being
the best western horse and rider you
can be...
Dressage is not about the outfit or
the tack .....it is about the horse
(face it, we are all riding the same
animal) and if the western public
wants to participate lets give them
the opportunity. The rider wins, the
horse wins and the show industry
wins as well.

 EBH
Consulting opens in March 2009.
 Eitan
is now retired from public training.
He will continues to do clinics,
expos and make training videos. For
those of you who wish to take
advantage of Eitan's time, knowledge
and expertise he now offers a
consulting service. This service
will allow those that need his
evaluation or
recommendations on performance and
pleasure horses easily available.
You can make appointments with
him during shows, clinics, expos and
at your farm or ranch. We encourage
you to make the appointments well
ahead of time when possible.
Just a few of the
areas in any discipline that Eitan
can offer help are, self-carriage,
cadence, movement, balance, training
techniques and strategy's,
performance problem solving,
conditioning and supplying exercises
and the use of dressage to improve
the horse.

We have been buying horse
sheets and blankets for years and never been
quite satisfied due to fit, quality or
service. They were often big, bulky and
cumbersome. Last year we treated ourselves
and got our horses some Corcel sheets and
blankets. We are thrilled. They keep the
horses clean and comfortable with out all
that excess bulk and weight. They wear well
and are easy to wash in a normal large load
washing machine, no need to send them out
for cleaning and no need for the big
industrial machines. Corcel has been great
to work with.. they have taken good care of
us. I told Mark, we train 'um, you dress
'um. That about sums it up.
Please contact Mark at
Corcel if you are interested in any of their
products. They also make stall decorations
and many other horse related products.

Jenna
Rankin and Kasey Hoover Monty
receive accolades from Eitan and Debbie
and Cowboy Dressage.
In our career
we were fortunate to have won many good
classes and ribbons. There was always so
much more to us than just the wins and the
ribbons though. The young people who came to
study with Eitan have been our grandest
achievement. They surpass all that we have
accomplished in our equine career. Most have
been talented and dedicated young horse
people. Eitan was never easy on them and his
standards were high and extremely
demanding. Lots of long hot or extremely
cold, frustrating days were spent by
these students. Many would of faltered but a
select few rose to the demands set and their
determination and commitment to learn drove
them on. Like Eitan, the short easy way was
not for them.
While all of
our students have been exceptional there are
two wonderfully talented ladies who have
earned some special recognition. Jenna
Rankin and Kasey Hoover Monty. These two are
young remarkable talents. They not only
have the "gift" but a strong sense of
integrity and a true love for the horses.
They still have many more miles to ride in
their horsemanship journey but they
show exceptional promise.
When you are
fortunate enough to see these ladies work or
show horses, do not look just take into
account the ribbons they win, look at their
hands, how they use them, their timing,
their seat, the carriage and movement of
their horses. They are our grand award for
the time spent in this profession. To leave
behind such ladies is comforting. We feel
they will make a huge contribution to the
horse world as they grow and mature in their
horsewomanship journey. It is a lifetime
quest but these two are up to it.
Thank you Jenna
and Kasey for being part of our world. Deb
and 8
(If you have
any questions please contact us about any
others who may claim endorsement or
schooling with Eitan)

COWBOY
DRESSAGE SCHOOL
OF HORSEMANSHIP
COMING IN 2008
|
Eitan and I have been very fortunate. Our lives
have been enriched by good horses and good people. There was
never a morning we did not rise from bed and look forward to our
days work.
We have reached a time in our lives when we will
be cutting back, taking it easy and enjoying a bit of R & R.
We will continue to show and breed our own horses, do clinics
and expos and produce videos. In 2008 we will be closing our
doors to outside training horses and clients. The show world has
given us much but a new direction now lies ahead for us.
In Jan of 2008 we will be opening a "small
school". It will be our goal to share our knowledge with others
who wish to learn with Eitan on more personal bases. We will be
offering a 5-day course each month with a bit more informal and
low-key approach. We will take up to 3 people per course. You
will be able to bring your own horse. The courses we offer will
focus more on continued development of the well-started horse
and riders with focus on refinement and
lightness.
When putting together the format for this
learning experience we decided not to structure it but to let
the equestrian tell us what their personal needs are and work on
those. Because each person or horse may have different areas
that need to be worked on the students will get a wider and
broader over all education while at the same time getting their
own special attention.
Cowboy Dressage applies to all seats and disciplines.
Whether you ride western, addleseat, hunt, dressage or just enjoy the trails; Eitan's teaching will have a great deal to offer you. Eitan lives by and teaches the old and proven basics and principles of good classical horsemanship. You will be a better rider and your horse will be a better horse...we promise!
Yours,
Debbie and Eitan |

Natural Horsemanship
Explained From Heart to Hands Featuring a chapter on horseman Eitan
Beth-Halachmy
In my previous book, REVOLUTION IN
HORSEMANSHIP, which I co-authored with Rick Lamb, I
targeted the horse person who was unfamiliar with
Natural Horsemanship, those who were familiar with it
but disinterested, and those who were opposed to it. In
this latest book I am targeting the convert - the
believer in Natural Horsemanship, the student, and the
clinician who teaches it. I want them to know exactly
why and how it works. Understanding its efficacy will
reinforce and refine the users' methodology. The horse
is a highly intelligent species capable of exceptional
communication with the human being, but only if the
human has learned HOW to communicate. This book begins
explaining why Natural Horsemanship works, including
some concepts never before published. Next we examine
attitudes within the horse world and finally the
significance of horses in the 21st century.

Because we ask a lot from our horses we settle
for nothing less than the best supplements.
With the performance demands of our beloved
stallion Santa Fe Renegade we make sure he has
the support he needs to be at the top of his
game. Doc Sweeney's products have made a
noticeable difference in the comfort and ability
of our horses. We are happy when our horses are
happy!
EquiScentials Horse Care Products
developed by Dr. Tom Tweeten, a horse owner and trainer. His frustration with human care products adapted for horse use, with products that make the horse coat feel oily or like plastic, and with products that use synthetic fragrances lead him to start working on his first horse product, Coat Enhancer, in 1994. He introduced that product at Equitana in Louisville in 1996.
Utilizing his professional experience in chemistry and nutrition, he set out to define, then develop a line of products that would help maintain the coat’s natural shine and at the same time help reduce skin irritations causing itching and rubbing. As a competitor, he wanted products that would enhance the horse’s appearance, shortening preparation time for showing or just going for a trail ride.
It was important to have products that could be left on the horse without leaving the hair dry, attracting dust, or feeling slick, oily, or waxy over time. His knowledge of ingredients along with advice from veterinarians and aroma therapists, helped in achieving the results he was seeking.
Horses trained by Eitan... groomed by Equiscentials
"The horse business is a continuous pursuit of finding just the right products for your horses. From the end of their tail hairs to the tip of their nose you want what really works and what is good for them. After years of using many "glamour" products we have finally found in Equiscentials
the product that we are looking for. It meets
the high standards we set when it comes to
grooming and TLC. At the same time it is good
for the horse's coat and skin. A perfect
combination for the horse and those that love
them."

2006 Grand National
World
Equestrian Games--Aachen, Germany.
2006
 Our
trip to the 2006 World Equestrian
Games in Aachen, Germany was
the trip and event of a lifetime.
It was a great honor for Eitan
and Santa Fe to be asked to
represent the US in the closing
ceremony of WEG. Both Eitan
and Santa Fe were ready and
tuned to perform. Eitan and
his beautiful Morgan Stallion
did the United States and Morgans
proud. We made many new friends,
two legged and four legged.
Santa Fe was greatly admired
for his beauty and demeanor.
In stead of trying to write
about our experience I have
decided to post a large photo
gallery....the pictures say
it so much better than words.
Enjoy!
Note: The World Equestrian Games
will be held in Lexington, KY
in 2010. A great honor.

What a fantastic
trip we had this past February
06. Our much anticipated trip
to Brazil was even more enjoyable
and exciting than we had expected.
We are in love with the country,
people and of course their horses,
donkeys and mules.
Eitan was
asked to participate as a clinician
at the first Equine Congress
of Brazil. The clinicians who
attended were from many different
parts of the world. From our
own US Dr. Robert Miller DVM,
Lester Buckley, Jon Ensign and
Dennis Reis were sharing their
equine knowledge and wisdom.
Clinicians attended from as
far away as Switzerland and
Portugal. This event was organized
and the dream of Dr. Fernando
Rolim DVM of Brazil. He has
been a quest here at our ranch
on several occasions. He plans
to do another Congress in 2008.
The Brazilians
were wonderful hosts. They are
a hard working people full of
song and music. We ate like
kings, saw some beautiful horses
and visited some of the top
Lusitano Breeding Farms in the
country. To say that they were
"spectacular" is an understatement.
The Lusitano is an exceptional
horse, one that Eitan and I
fell in love with.
The Congress
was very well attended. We were
so impressed at how much and
how eager the people were to
learn Natural Horsemanship.
Even though it was Feb.
it was very hot and humid, Feb
being a summer month for them.
It made for a warm atmosphere
but it did not detour any of
the attendees.
If you are
young at heart and looking for
adventure and dream of your
own "big spread" Brazil should
be a place of interest. It hosts
some of the worlds finest cattle
and horses. It is a ranchers
paradise and still very, very
affordable. If we were
30 years younger we would be
in "Brazil " Since we
are not in our 30's anymore
we will just have to settle
for another visit next year.
Watch
for possible 2007 clinics in
South Africa, Hawaii and Alaska....

 David
Anthony has captured the
beauty of the Black Hills
and put it into his music.
Since the release of our
new video, "Dances With
Cows" we have had many folks
ask us where we found such
beautiful music to complement
our video. We found it in
the form of a relatively
unknown but wonderfully
gifted artist named David
Anthony. We fell instantly
in love with his voice and
song. His story is much
like many song writers and
singers: while their talent
is extraordinary it waits
patiently in hopes or discovery.
We encourage you to visit
David's website. It is well
done and offers a number
of "magical" cd's.
Please tell your friends,
they will thank you.

Dr. Robert Miller
and Richard Lamb
have just released
a new book, "The
Revolution in Horsemanship,
And What It Means
To Mankind." |
There has
been a change in how we
treat our horses: We no
longer "break" them to harness
or saddle; we "gentle" them
so they become our partners,
their natural grace and
athleticism restored and
enhanced through humane
and thoughtful methods.
The author describes how
the horse's mind works,
how horses learn, and how
the "revolution" has used
those principles.
A must read for anyone wanting
to expand their equine horizons.

Morgan
Grand National and World Championship
Show 2002
|
Wow!
What a Grand Show it was
for Wolf Creek Ranch, their
clients and their Morgan
Horses. Eitan has always
believed in only taking
his very best to Oklahoma
City and that he did. Santa
Fe Renegade, Temptation's
Answer, Futurity's Ultimate
Twist and Sunny Acers Ebony
Night finished the week
long competition with top
honors. Wolf Creek Ranch
swept the Open Western Pleasure
Division winning the World
Western Pleasure, World
Western Pleasure 4 Year
Olds and World Western Pleasure
3 Year Olds.

We are especially
proud of Alice Gibson
our apprentice of
5 years. Alice showed
Futurity's Ultimate Twist
(her own personal
project) to World
Wins for owner Ellen
DiBella in Hunter
Pleasure 3 Year
Olds.
Art Perry of Intrepid
Farm continued his
winning ways under
the Wolf Creek Banner
with Sunny Acers
Ebony Night in the
Parade Division
earning a Resv.
National Championship.
Art has been a participant
in the "Rose Parade
for over 28 years!)
Once again Eitan
introduced a top
three year old in
the Western Pleasure
Division. This years
young star was
Temptation's
Answerowned
by Fire Run Farm.
"Snickers" and Eitan
were on a mission
from the start finishing
the week with multiple
World Titles.
In a life time a
horseman may be
granted one truly
great horse. To
be granted such
a gift twice in
a life time is an
honor bestowed on
few in this industry.
Holiday Compadre
won the World Western
Pleasure twice by
unanimous votes.
The first in 1993
and the second time
in 1996.

In 2002
Santa Fe Renegade
and Eitan were to
make the World Championship
Victory Pass with
once again a unanimous
decision. Santa
Fe is a horse of
serious stature,
charisma and talent.
Not to mention he
is drop dead gorgeous.
You may remember
that he swept the
3 year old division
at Oklahoma last
year, also winning
the Open Stallion
Class. Eitan elected
not to show him
back in the World
Championships as
the young horse
had given his all
to capture his earlier
wins that week.
It was a gamble
as he was a favorite
to win the World
in 2001. Could he
come back and do
it in 2002? He did,
and he did it with
honors. We are so
very proud of this
fine young horse.
So, what are we
going to do for
next year...we have
some very nice coming
3 year olds in the
barn for next year.
Perhaps they too
will make a pass
down victory lane.

30th, 2002
Today,
another Morgan has earned world-wide
recognition and has exceeded his
notable ancestors as far as the
number of humans who know of him.
His name means 'friend' and there
is no better friend in promotional
terms as it pertains to the Morgan
breed than 'Holiday Compadre'.

Holiday
Compadre Officially Retires
We
have Officially Retired our wonderful
horse Holiday Compadre. He will
spend his future days turned out
to pasture. He will be breeding
mares for us here at home but his
book is now closed to the public.
Compadre has been a corner stone
in our lives. He has given us more
than we can express in words. We
wanted to give him something back
and felt it was time to just let
him be a horse.
Santa Fe Renegade will be following
in Holiday Compadre's footsteps.
We feel quite assured that he will
measure up and continue to educate
and thrill audiences.
Holiday Compadre thanks you for
your many years of support, friendship
and applause.

2001 Grand Nationals and World
Championship
What
a fantastic show we had. On top
of good ribbons we had a very good
time. The Grand Nationals is always
a mixture of hard work and anticipation.
The stress level can be high but
when it all comes together there
is nothing like it and all the work
is more than worth the effort.
We took our best 3 year old stallion
Santa Fe Renegade and our best 4
year old gelding Futurity On Your
Mark owned by the Rumens family
of Fire Run Farm. Both came
home World Champions.
