ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Jack has trained and showed professionally in the past, mostly working cow horses. He has also judged, both Western and English. A graduate of CalPoly at San Luis Obispo, California, he ran the horse unit at Fresno State, in Fresno, California, for four years and coached the judging team. Then he had his own training stables in Fresno. He was around Ray Hunt and Tom Dorrance back in their pre-clinic days, before they became famous, working with Ray for a number of years. He also rodeoed, and has cowboyed off and on over the years and given lessons to both adults and children. Out of the horse scene for a few years, he has recently begun some training, lessons, clinics, and helping with local and state 4-H horse activities. He also teaches computer classes and does computer accounting and repairs.
