Ed sits down with legendary horseman Cam Schryver. Cam has been a great friend of Ranchlands for many years, and he is widely regarded as one of the premiere horsemen in the country. For many years, Cam was the head of the horsemanship program at the world-renowned Thacher School, and he was also a two-time Extreme Cowboy World Champion. Now, in retirement, he lives and works on his family ranch in Oregon.
Cam’s horsemanship workshops at our Zapata Ranch are some of our most popular events year after year, and riders of all skill levels rave about Cam’s gift as an effective, patient, and gifted teacher. Whether you are a rider or not, you’ll be struck by Cam’s authenticity, humility, and quiet confidence.
Each year, we look forward to our friend Cam Schryver coming to visit. While he's here to lead a clinic, staff and guests of every skill level love spending time with him, learning from his words of encouragement and wisdom. He has a unique way of teaching that leaves you with the concrete steps that you need to improve and the confidence to do it.
In addition to being an excellent horseman, Cam has thorough experience as a teacher. For twenty seven years, he ran the riding program at the Thacher School in Ojai, California.
