Festival of Natural Horsemanship - sponsored by AQHA and the University of Montana Western http://www.lacensemontana.com/ranch.aspx

Mark demonstrated the natural trim on the LaCense Ranch, which trains horses using only natural horsemanship methods. Our good friend, Jeff Griffith, is a world renown clinician and accomplished instructor for the University of Montana. Natural Horsemanship classes for the University of Montana are held at the LaCense Ranch. This is the only university in the world that offers a bachelor's degree in natural horsemanship!
