Tim McGaffic was introduced to Ray Hunt during the 1980s while working with difficult horses on a Colorado Ranch. That experience changed his thinking about how to handle horses and set him on a journey to search out Tom and Bill Dorrance and horseman of similar philosophy. The principles that these great horsemen put forth were applicable to working with the stock and dogs on the ranches and Tim pursued his education with many of what now have become legendary horse and stockman. Low stress stockmanship and horsemanship went hand in hand and as a ranch manager made sense for the bottom line and the welfare of the horses, people and stock. In 2004 Tim took a job managing a ranch in Hawaii and spent many years applying these principles to a unique situation. Tim recently returned from Hawaii to manage a small ranch in Colorado and to establish an educational program for the betterment of horses.
