Welcome To Les Vogt's COWHORSE U :: Les Vogt CowHorse U Program: Study Program for the Performance Horse by Les Vogt

Les Vogt Has Enjoyed a Lifetime of Developing Champion
Performance Horses, and He Believes You Can Too!

In his Cowhorse U Programs, 15-time World Champion Les Vogt will train you to use his strategies (and his secrets) to create sensational performance with your horse.

Les Vogt has combined a highly successful career training champion horses and riders with a decade of traveling the globe as a sought-after clinician to create instructional methods and materials that are easy for riders to understand and put to use. Unlike many training videos that only show you the perfect moves, these programs feature Les in an actual training mode on horses that are making mistakes just like yours do – except now you get to see how to work through the problems and end with success, without ever having to get mad or frustrated!

What people say about the program

The Foundation Level covers all the early training that goes into a top notch performance horse. Les shows you how to create softness in the neck and body control with an easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach. Plus the material in the foundation level isn’t just for reining and cowhorses, but can improve your performance in any discipline. We’ve received sensational feedback from riders telling us that their barrel, horsemanship and even dressage patterns have improved dramatically after going through the program with their horses.

The Maneuvers Level takes the great foundation that ysou’ve created and shows you how to continue to develop the fast turnarounds, lead changes, speed control and sliding stops that you’ll want to compete in reining or working cowhorse classes. Again you’ll see Les in actual training situations on horses that are being introduced to the concepts for the first time. You’ll learn how to identify where problems are coming from, and give you the tools you need to tune up your performance.
