Cantwister Barrel Clinic
"Controlling your emotions is the biggest challenge for a horseman.” ~Buck Brannaman
The Cantwister Barrel Racing/Horsemanship Clinics were a great success. Special thanks to Ray Faustman and Faustman Ranch and Kathleen Rittenour and Rittenour Equine Center for hosting the clinics at their great facilities. I also want to thank everyone who helped me out at the clinics, by husband, David, sister, Shelly Roberts & Todd McDowell also Shondria Miller, Beth Ann Jackson and Dawn Allen with Broken Wing Equine Therapies. I plan to have a couple clinics in the spring so be sure to come back and check here on my website for updates on the Spring Cantwister Barrel Clinics.

And I wanted to add everything was well organized and laid back and I really thought the videos were helpful. Also was nice of you to print out all the information for us to go over at home. It was a nice day away for me!
I had a really good time yesterday at your clinic and really think a lotof the exercises will help with my horses. The whole clinic seemed well run and I feel I benefited a lot from it, and saw a lot of the other riders improve too.

Teresa Roberts Quay, This quote reminds me of you because you don’t just tell us what to do, or explain how it’s done; you show us and also give us enough knowledge to succeed in the world of barrel racing. You spend a lot of time with each individual and their horse to get them to the next step. We may not have the fastest horse, but after your clinic we sure do have the perfect pattern!! You sure did INSPIRE me in your clinic and I think everybody there would agree with me. You truly are the best!! (: Thanks so much for all the work you have put into me and Gracie so far. Can't wait until the next clinic!! (:
Sara Spisak wrote: Had a wonderful time at Teresa’s clinic. Teresa stressed the importance of horsemanship and consistency. It’s important with anything you do with your horse. We worked on the pattern without timers being set-up and I loved this because it allowed me to focus on getting things right with my horse without worrying about what the timer was going to read. It was an enjoyable day and I feel I took away as much information if not more than I would from a three-day or weekend clinic. Glad I was able to attend and meet a few new wonderful people in barrel racing
