Ep. 27 Nahshon Cook, Classical Dressage Trainer, Author, Poet

It was a pleasure as always to get to chat with Nahshon Cook. He’s from urban Denver, Co and came across dressage in the way that suites him best, uniquely his own. Nahson is one of a kind and hard not to like. He’s intelligent, philosophical, and insightful. It is on my bucket list to watch Blazing Saddles with him.
This chat ranges from rehabilitations and problemed horses to diversity within the horse industry as a whole. We talk about the different schools of dressage (Nahshon is originally from the French School) and some of his favorite old masters, and our thoughts on the times and different styles of horses of the day influencing the way the masters taught.

He is the author of:
A New Beginning
The Killing Fields
Communion
Being With Horses
Horses See Us As We Are
