The following three articles and policy statement share reactions to the 2014 Horseman's Calling event. We note that one is written by a supporter of natural horsemanship methods and so does not entirely meet the opinions of EBTA members. But we felt it was a great article and provides some excellent balance. We also highly recommend the videos and article written by Epona at http://epona.tv/blog/2014/april/horsemans-calling.
