In Memory of Chad Holland

The award “To be a better horseman” is in memory of Chad Holland.

Chad believed that being a good horseman was an important factor in the communication between the person and a horse. He believed in the importance of giving the horse a good experience the first-time you interacted with them, gaining their trust and confidence. It was all about making a better world for horse and man. Chad was a contributing individual in bringing Ray Hunt horse breaking methods to this country. Ray Hunt held nine clinics at the Holland Ranch ranging from colt starting to horsemanship classes. All clinics were filled with participants.

Chad believed that whether you were in the rodeo arena, show world, breaking a colt or working cattle on the ranch horseback, you need to communicate with your horse and understand the feel the horse is giving you. As a horseman himself, he roped with the best, showed several AQHA Champions and spent countless hours horseback on the ranch.

•38• HELP HORSES AND THEIR HUMANS REACH THEIR POTENTIAL BY WORKING TOGETHER

The not-for-profitMontana Center for Horsemanship (MCH) is the first and only educational equine center in the United States to focus exclusively on ‘Natural Horsemanship’—a philosophy that’s based on understanding horse behavior, and bridging the gap between natural and conventional training to provide a stronger, more rewarding foundation for riding, working, and interacting.

Thanks to a unique partnership between MCH and the University of Montana Western, professional and amateur horsemen and horsewomen are brought together to improve and expand horsemanship in the broadest sense of the word.

MCH is guided by several fundamental objectives: to help individuals achieve personal and professional success in the equine industry; to enable horses to learn more effectively and find more ‘horse happiness’ through a specialized program; to energize the community as a whole; and to perpetuate a fundamental tradition of the American West. www.montanacenterforhorsemanship.org www.facebook.com/MontanaCenterforHorsemanship
