  • Bruce Sandifer may teach bridle horse skills but Bruce says bringing the old Californio method back forced him to become a better student. The Californio method of balance and timing was created by the Mission vaqueros to train a horse that is totally fluid in any movement while staying in perfect balance on any type of terrain. Bruce is convinced horses are happier and perform better.

    Excellent explanation of going through the stages of a full finished horse. Also, great explanation of the process and reason for the steps. Those who do not train this style have no clue except for what they’ve heard or think. Unless you’ve trained your horse in the Californio style, don’t demonize it because you will be called out like Gerry.

    Love his outlook for vaquero horsemanship and cattle methods. Very efficient and sustainable for everything involved in this lifestyle.

    I love watching true bridle horses & good horsemen. It is like watching a beautiful, fluid dance, whether they are working cattle or running a reigning pattern.

    I'm a dressage lover but Sandifer---he's just described JP Giacomini's equivalent in lightness dressage practice. Admirable, I love the interview---wonderful!
    JP is as different from many people's idea of dressage as Sandifer is from western pleasure. I love both styles of horsemanship. Thank you for sharing this interview!

    This type of horsemanship should be taught to everyone believes they are a "cowboy" or "horseman"! He explained very well the spade bit in a short period of time. I've never used a spade bit and I'd definitely love to learn how. Good interview for sure!

      A spade bit is a Vaquero tradition that should be left to the dust of time. It is a harsh bit. One tiny miss cue and the horse tosses his head and opens his mouth to try and relieve the pain. Carefully watch most horsemen that are riding with a spade bit, and you will see what I am describing.

    Use of Spade bits are a compromise to training and knowing your horse properly in my opinion. Working of of the leg and seat can be much more effective and provide a better connection between the horse and rider. Also spurs are overused at times.

    The fluid beauty is even more so when using a rope halter and a lead line converted to reins.

    I find fluid beauty in using a rope halter and lead line converted to reins. Which I don't use much. I use mainly body cues.
