Day OneĬamp started on a Friday afternoon with registration, followed by a welcome meeting. I already knew the schedule would be too full for much relaxing, but little did I realize that “boot camp” would be a better description than “clinic” for this intense experience. “Have a relaxing time,” my mother said before I began the trip from Southern California to the Josey Ranch. Why should I not train with the best?Įven though Josey clinics are designed to improve the horse and rider partnership, I was able to make special arrangements to borrow a horse. Josey, give nearly a dozen clinics a year at their 200-acre ranch in Karnack, Texas, and almost an equal number on the road. She and her husband, world champion calf roper R.E. Martha Josey is a legend in the sport, with more trophy saddles and buckles won than anyone could ever use in a lifetime.
