HEADLINER: MICHAEL CANFIELD – LUCKY STAR HORSEMANSHIP
Michael Canfield- Lucky Star Horsemanship, Red Hook, NY
Like so many horse people, Michael found his love of horses at a young age. Serious study into the art of horsemanship began way back in 1992 when he purchased a “project horse” for the whopping sum of $200.00. He has been loping along learning, improving and eventually helping others with their horses ever since.
Today, Michael is the owner of Lucky Star Horsemanship offering education, evaluations, clinics and lessons throughout the U.S. from Michigan, to Maine, to Florida to California! Michael has been a Featured Presenter at Equine Affaire, Horse World Expo, Michigan Horse Expo, WNY Equifest, New York State Fair, Equus Fest East and many other events. His focus is bringing Horses and Humans closer together, developing strong partnerships and enriching performance utilizing the Cooperative Horsemanship approach.
