T & T Horsemanship is dedicated to the belief that the development of true horsemanship requires dedication of time and understanding to fully comprehend what the horse has to offer humans. That horsemanship is an art form, and should not be limited to specific disciplines, but rather the development of a willing partnership between the horse and it’s human. Then, the possibilities are endless!

 Tom Curtain

Tom Curtin grew up in the Big Sky State of Montana where his father had an outfitting and packing business. Tom was extremely fortunate to be around and work for some of the most famous ranches of the west; among them being The King Ranch, The Four 6's , Johnson Ranch and the 7D Ranch. Along with beneficial settings for horse training, Tom also had the chance to learn from many inspirational men in the horse world. Buster Welch, for example, had a significant influence on how Tom now views and trains the horse. Ray Hunt and his wife, Carolyn, also played an active role in the formation of Tom's horsemanship. Ray showed Tom how to look at things from the horse's point of view, an invaluable aspect of horse training that Tom still honors today. Along the way, however, a constant figure in Tom's life was his father who remains today an exceptional horseman and an accomplished teamster. |

 Paul Dietz
http://www.pauldietzhorsemanship.com
Paul Dietz is a humble horseman and not "just another" horseman/clinician. Paul's knowledge of horses is exceptional and he is gifted with communication and teaching skills reaching far beyond the average and into the handful of "top professional" horsemen today. He has figured out what he does best and is doing it: teaching people on a very personal level about the incredible journey that can lead to a oneness between horse and rider; developing an effortless, soft connection, the thoughts of the horse and rider becoming one and ultimately leading to directing the horses feet. Paul is in touch with the internal, invisible intent a true horseman must have which initiates the connection between horse and human before any external moves are evident.
Paul is based in Phoenix, AZ, but offers large and small clinics from coast to coast as well as demonstrations. His clinics are geared toward the ability and interests of the participants. He doesn't have a preference about whether the participants use English or Western saddles or what discipline they prefer. There isn't a discipline that doesn't involve moving the horses' feet. Paul directs the learning process creating the environment for understanding the importance of that control and how to achieve it effortlessly. Only with that control can we hope to hold the key to timing, placement and direction essential for the job at hand. |
