“I recently had the pleasure of attending a Cal Middleton Reining Clinic. It was such an enjoyable day of instruction that no one even minded the summer heat! Cal is a gifted trainer, showman and clinician and has the innate ability, not only to see what the horse and/or rider may be doing wrong, but to explain how to correct it in a way that even a novice can understand and execute.

“When Cora got interested in riding, we went to Cal. He taught her the fundamentals of horse care and riding. He also got her horse, Sonya, in shape for having a beginner on her. Cora has now been in a parade and showmanship classes. She is having a blast riding Sonya. Thanks Cal.”

“Our first encounter with Cal Middleton and his expertise regarding horsemanship and training was about 4 years ago when my husband surprised me with a horse he bought from Cal for my birthday. She was one of his saddlebred’s and the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. She was 2 years old and sorrel with a flaxen mane and tail. I was ready to get on her and ride the next day, even though I had not been on a horse since I was very young. Cal had his work cut out for him, trying to explain to me...
