EVEN MORE ABOUT TAPADERO...

The Bridle Horse, Bruce Sandifer
Santa Barbara horse trainer, Bruce Sandifer, demonstrates the use of the hackamore — the first building block in the painstaking process of making a bridle horse. He then goes on to demonstrate the two rein stage, and then the ultimate achievement, straight up in the bridle.

Jay Harney
Jay, in addition to being a buckaroo, is an inveterate historian. As Jay takes us through his daily chores of cattle doctoring and checking the water, he also gives us an insider’s overview of Californio history

Deeth Harney
Young buckaroo Deeth Harney is typical of a breed of young cowhands who are reviving the old ways of doing things. Here we see Deeth in a cloud of dust as he moves some cows on an eighty-thousand acre Nevada grazing allotment.

Steve Dorrance
Bill and Tom Dorrance fostered the idea of “seeing the world through the horse’s eyes.” Though Tom and Bill have passed on, Bill's son Steve still lives on the family ranch on Toro Mountain, high above Carmel Valley. Steve reminisces about his Dad and all the insights he learned about building a relationship with your horse.

Leslie Dorrance
Leslie, daughter-in-law of Bill Dorrance, shares what she learned from Bill as she tacks up and gets ready to ride.

There's even more to Tapadero...Ernie Morris, Pat Puckett, Gwynn Turnbull Weaver and Dave Weaver, Dwight Hill, saddlemaker Dale Harwood and a host of others.
