Horses and Riders Invited to Horsemanship & Roping Workshop

Located mid-peninsula on County Highway A, just north of County Highway EE, Jesus “Chewy” Jauregui’s Horsemanship Ranch is the site of year-round horsemanship training and development in Door County.

Known by many as Door County’s own horse-whisperer, Jauregui adheres to the caballero (vaquero or buckaroo) tradition of riding in lightness, collection on a loose rein, and working the reata (lasso). These are the same roots that spawned the Spanish Riding School and other classical dressage schools of Europe. Chewy uses gentling techniques to teach the horse appropriate responses to humans – proving the effectiveness as a certified wild mustang trainer and national competitor. Now, he wants to share this knowledge with others.

Horses and their riders are invited to attend “Horsemanship & Roping,” the first in a new series of regular workshop events at Horsemanship Ranch on July 27 or Aug. 17. With everyone saddled up, he provides hands-on instruction to riders mounted on their own horses. Friends, family and the general public are welcome to observe.

The one-day workshops begin at 9 am and wraps up at 4 pm with a short break for lunch. The cost is $75, including lunch and a beverage. Space is limited to no more than 16 riders per session. To reserve a space, call 920.839.9787 or 920.493.1127 or email [email protected]. For more information call HorsemanshipRanch.com.
