ABOUT CAL MIDDLETON

Cal’s journey through his professional life with horses has been a constant upward evolution. Cal has mainly been focused on two ideas; gaining knowledge, and sharing that knowledge with others. The understanding of the horse that he worked hard to acquire throughout his life and career was never quite enough, as he was always searching for something deeper that would fit a greater number of horses. He was invited to attend a clinic with Peter Campbell, who learned horsemanship and ranching from the great Tom Dorrance. Tom Dorrance is the man that started it all, teaching his stockmanship concepts to, not only Peter Campbell, but also to Ray Hunt and others who helped popularize many of Tom’s methods. Like so many others, Cal was intrigued with Peter’s approach to the horse and spent as much time as he could learning from Peter until Peter’s death in 2017. Cal continues to learn from the older generation, he rides horses for the public, gives clinics, offers consulting services, and takes every opportunity he can to mentor the younger generation through his apprenticeship program. Cal has been teaching clinics and helping others with horses professionally since 2005. He has learned from so many trainers, horsemen and women, as well as from his own experiences.

Cal published his first book in 2016, started the Horses and Life podcast in 2019 and has contributing author to many equine magazines for over a decade. Cal also has a passion for children and has worked full time as a behavioral implementor and consultant inside schools and homes. He also worked 8 years as a high school wrestling coach, among many other jobs in the real world. 

This clinic will give you the opportunity to work on foundation and horsemanship. With Cal's in-depth skills as an instructor, this clinic will be invaluable for novice to experienced riders alike.
