Johnny Leverett 's Cowboy School and Horsemanship
New this year Johnny will be offering a real cowboy experience at his Green Mesa Ranch in Parlin, Colordo. Cowboy School will include learning how to rope, work cattle and trail riding and is available to all levels. The 300 acre Colorado working ranch adjoins thousands of acres of BLM land with endless miles of trails. Cowboy School will also teach students the basic fundamentals of horsemanship stressing a foundation of communication, understanding and a relationship built on mutual respect and trust with your horse. Johnny's Cowboy School, Clinics & Weekend Workshops appeal to all abilities, from basic skills for beginners to more advanced instruction and problem solving. Many horse owners of all abilities are missing the basic fundamentals of communicating, understanding and leading their horse with confidence. Johnny simply stated it at a recent private clinic demonstration: "If you try to force, you'll have a fight you probably won't win. The best control you can have is mental cooperation and understanding." Johnny's Cowboy School, Clinics and Weekend Workshops are meant to bring riders to a point where their horses will do what the rider asks and the horse will perform willingly and with respect in a non-confrontational environment. If you want to experience a safer, more enjoyable relationship with your horse, establish confidence between you and your horse or want to learn to rope and work cattle, then sign up for a real cowboy experience. Rejuvenate your spirit and relieve the stress from your typical everyday life while focusing on your own relationship skills through patience, confidence, commitment and self-esteem through horses.
Horsemanship Clinics fill to capacity quickly, so it is suggested to make your arrangements to attend well in advance. Workshops focus on one or two topics such as saddle fitting, trailer loading, ground work, how to get over your fears and gain your horses respect etc. These Workshops are customized to fit the clients needs. Boarding and overnighting of horses is available at the ranch, with proper health papers. Directions to Johnny Leverett's Green Mesa Ranch, Parlin, Colorado, 81239: Off County Road 75. The ranch is located 13 miles east of Gunnison, Colorado, .3 of a mile past the QT Parlin Store. |
For more than thirty years Johnny Leverett has been quietly demonstrating his unique way of "helping" a misunderstood horse, starting a young colt or helping a person experience a life-changing relationship with their four-legged companion. Those who have been fortunate enough to know or work with Johnny agree that he stands as one of the best "unknown" horse clinicians in the country. In any profession there are those few individuals who excel above the rest. Johnny has a unique gift in being able to communicate with a horse's language, emotions and motivations.
The Green Mesa Ranch was voted the "Essence of Colorado" and is one of the most unique and beautiful places to ride on the the western slope. If you're a fisherman, bring your pole. The ranch offers quality fishing and is a good way to relax at the end of the day.
