A lifelong student, Cal Middleton has been a working cowboy, a Buckaroo, a horse trainer, a cattle producer, NRHA judge, and has also worked as a behavior consultant in public/private schools specializing in children with learning disabilities and behavioral issues.
As a horse trainer Cal won a world title in reining, he won money and numerous accolades in working cow horse, AQHA, and many other associations, as well as a few honors in dressage and western dressage. Cal has learned from, and still continues to learn from some of the top cowboys, horse trainers and horsemen in the world including Laurie Hedlund, Frank Barnett, Martin Black, Al Dunning, Rachel Ory, Tom Pierson, Brent Wright, Shawn Flarida, Dave Weaver, Joe Wolter, Bryan Neubert, Peter Campbell and many others.
Cal now spends the winters in Florida where he trains horses for the public. The remaining
months of the year, he travels throughout the world starting colts, conducting horsemanship and
stockmanship clinics, and often taking clients’ horses on the road. He still takes time to day work
on ranches, and blocks out periods of time to cowboy most every summer.
In 2016, his first book was published, “Cal Middleton on Horses and Life”. In 2019, Cal began “The Horses and Life Podcast”. You can find more info at calmiddleton.com
