Dan McCarthy
Dan McCarthy, President of the New York Peacemakers of
the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association, is a man of
many talents. Although he
has thoroughly enjoyed being a musician, a teacher and a
businessman, Dan's true passion is horsemanship.
Inspired by his love of horses,
and influenced by Leslie Desmond. Dan has formulated a
personal training philosophy based on years of
experience. His approach to training horses, known as
"natural horsemanship", can best be defined as the art
of working, training and riding with horses in a manner
that works with a horse's behavior, instincts and
personality. The learning environment is low-stress and
emphasizes effective communication techniques that help
each horse reach its fullest potential. Dan believes
that natural horsemanship is more like coaching than
training.
