- Learn the Native American way of breaking colts at unique horse training clinics with Stanford Addison on July 24-27, August 14-17 and September 11-14. Stanford, a member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, has spent many years as a horse breaker using traditional Native American techniques, and a method he calls "heyteyneytah," the Arapaho word for "respect," to calm horses. As Stan describes it: "This approach preserves the spirit of the horse. It builds respect with them and builds trust so that they want to listen to us because they know we won't hurt them." His results are amazing; what makes it even more amazing is that Stanford does all this from a wheelchair. Stanford, a member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, has spent many years as a horse breaker using traditional Native American techniques. Based on Stanford??u8482 s experiences and his keen observation of horse behavior, he has developed a method of horse breaking that is non-cruel, organic, and spiritual in nature. These elements combine to form a safe and humane horse breaking method to produce a finer horse. This non-forceful method of horse training engenders mutual respect and cooperation between horse and trainer. During this three-day, two-night special event, you will see the results of this unique practice to include development of self-knowledge, self-esteem, respect, and healing. You can stay at a nearby hotel or at the Ranch, but you must bring your own equipment such as sleeping bags, pads, tents, folding chairs, and any personal gear. You are also encouraged to bring your own horse! The Heyteyneytah Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping at-risk youth from across Wyoming and the Rocky Mountain West. These young adults have faced difficult life trials, such as physical and verbal abuse, drug and alcohol addictions, and racial discrimination on a scale unimaginable to most people. As you watch and learn Stanford??u8482 s unique methods of horse breaking, you will also experience Northern Arapaho culture and traditions as a part of daily life at the Ranch. As part of daily ranch activities, Stanford and his ranch hands prepare meals, complete a variety of ranch chores, hold talking circles to reflect on the day??u8482 s activities, and conduct nightly sweats in a traditionally constructed sweat lodge. You are welcome and encouraged to participate in these daily activities. In addition, Stanford and the youth will work one-on-one with you and the horses. Watching the at-risk youth discover a path to self-awareness by Stanford??u8482 s gentle promotion of healing of self and increasing self-esteem is an opportunity every human should see first hand at least once in his or her lifetime. Your attendance and contribution to this special event will allow Stanford to continue this important cause. Come to the Addison Ranch for personal discovery, spiritual enrichment, and emotional growth. Come to satisfy your curiosity or to enhance your own horse breaking. You will leave with an appreciation and understanding of superior horse breaking techniques, and a deeper love for your horse. Come lend a hand, learn and spread the word by attending this special event during the beautiful late summer weather of the Wind River Basin.
