Chris Bohenek brings over 14 years of working horseback experience in handling both horses and cattle to his students. After having worked for different ranches throughout Montana, starting colts and taking care of cattle, Chris and his wife Lynne, relocated to the Bitterroot Valley of Montana to start their family and business. Chris has started over 850 horses and does all his cow work from the back of a horse. Chris’s unique experience with horses and cattle has given him an approach that is low stress and helps both the horse and the cow to learn from the “release” rather than from “fear” and “pressure”. Chris takes his approach to his clinics and demonstrations, that he does locally as well as abroad. Chris believes that by using good foundation horsemanship with the Vaquero philosophy, integrated with his “Core Balance”™ exercises and combining this all with low stress cowman-ship, will help horse, rider and cattle to better communicate for a stress free learning environment . Chris also works with neighboring cattle and is always building quality Vaquero style ranch geldings, as well as taking in select outside horses for training throughout the year.
