Master trainer Roberto Quijandría’s gentle touch and quiet confidence are the foundation for producing gentle, responsive horses. The hot-blooded Peruvians of La Estancia Alegre are known for their success in the show ring and on the rugged trails of New Mexico thanks to his patience and skill. Roberto grew up training horses in his native Peru, and since he arrived in the United States more than 35 years ago he’s worked with hundreds of horses to hone his craft. Whether it’s a complicated Peruvian reining pattern or a simple water crossing, Roberto brings out the best in a horse.  LEA takes a limited number of outside Peruvian Horses for Roberto to train from the end of October until March of the following year.

Roeliff Annon doesn’t call himself a horse trainer. He sees himself as a guide or facilitator, helping horses and humans find true connection. Trained first in classical dressage, he was introduced to Ray Hunt more than twenty years ago, and Hunt’s principles have informed and guided him ever since. Widely known for his work with feral horses, Roeliff also raises Spanish Mustangs on his ranch in Corona, New Mexico. He works with all breeds of horses and all types of students, helping them learn to better communicate with each other.

Raised amidst New Mexico’s rich diversity of culture and natural beauty by a Native American father and a mother who was intrigued and inspired by the Spanish Barb and its influence in the Americas, Roeliff’s introduction to horses began with an integrative approach. He learned to understand and respect the values horses brought to humans, and became adept at observing and communicating with horses. By working with challenging horses, he became increasingly attuned to their needs—and to creating bonds of trust through respect and response. In fact his most important insights have come from working with horses brought to him after all other efforts had failed and folks had no one else to turn to. Over the course of three decades, he’s also learned how to help riders with far less experience discover the same connection with their mounts. Roeliff finds that connection through visualization and acting with clear intent—he creates a dynamic kinship by listening with the eyes and adjusting mentally and physically to fit the situation.

STRENGTHENING THE BOND: ROELIFF ANNON 
2 DAY CLINIC  LABOR DAY WEEKEND
BUILDING CONNECTION AND PARTNERSHIP WITH HORSES

Have you ever felt like your horse is more focused on what other horses are doing than on you? Is your horse reactive to its surroundings in ways you don’t understand? Would you like to feel more connected to your horse? Then this weekend is for you. Roeliff Annon, revered for his ability to improve communications between horse and rider, is offering a two-day clinic at beautiful La Estancia Alegre in Alcalde to strengthen connection with your horse, both on the ground and in the saddle. Roeliff has a gift for bringing out the best in horses and riders, and builds confidence with a compassionate and positive style.

Whether you’re a serious competitor or a weekend warrior, this clinic is sure to improve the bond between you and your horse. We will work on the world-class extreme mountain trail course with numerous bridges and water crossings at the beautiful La Estancia Alegre as well as exercises in and out of the rings and round pens.

Ginger Gaffney teaches from the intersection of natural and classical horsemanship. She has an excellent understanding of balance from her studies in both disciplines. Ginger keeps her horses content and willing to work in balance, using the engagement of the hindquarters to lift the forehand upward. Helping her horses use the ring of musculature that builds, over time, the natural athlete inherent in each and every horse.
