Wayne Caslick Level Stock Horse Coach
Wayne Caslick – Level One Australian Stock Horse Coach
Wayne started working with Horses from an early age with the local trainers, one of whom bred Stud Book ponies. This man gave Wayne a solid foundation in all aspects of horses from husbandry, showing, riding, training and starting of horses. Wayne is known as the ‘eclectic horseman’ whereby he assesses each horse, before training or starting education, and uses the most suitable method which will bring out the best in each horse giving a solid foundation of education. These methods underpin the natural Horsemanship philosophy which is based on knowledge of how the horse thinks and behaves. Natural Horsemanship is so old that it is new again.
Wayne’s natural observation skills, understanding of horse behaviour and genuine interest in doing the best he can for the horse led him to doing more formalised study in Natural Horsemanship.
To date he has built up a very solid reputation amongst many disciplines (such as Endurance, Dressage, Western Pleasure, Pony Club, Pleasure etc) of producing, through his education of horses, a horse which is very safe, soft in response to riders commands, respectful and enjoyable to ride. But it does not stop there. Wayne believes firmly that if he is to train the horse then the rider needs to understand the philosophy and concepts as well so that the horse does not become confused. These concepts are not difficult to learn – they are all based on our body language, energy control and understanding the horse’s behaviour and thinking processes. The horse is a herd animal and is naturally looking for a strong leader – in a horse/human relationship, the human needs to be the leader. Wayne is teaching riders leadership and communication skills with their horses. A rider’s use of abusive behaviour, mechanical aids and bad attitude is replaced by knowledge and understanding and a more enjoyable relationship with their horse.
This led Wayne to putting together a training system for riders so that they can come to clinics and both the Horse And Rider can learn together.
Wayne looks at the horse in a holistic way such as conformation, health status, breed and any previous bad handling the horse may have endured. Wayne also assesses the rider of that horse to establish the level of confidence, level of riding ability, bad riding habits etc. Any of these factors can impact on the horse and rider training program. Wayne will work with both horse and rider on an individual level or small group situation. The number of people in Wayne’s clinics do not exceed 10-12 people. This allows for quality education of horse and rider and safety for both horse and rider.
Wayne is now an accredited coach with the Australian Stock Horse Society; he has his First Aid certificate as well as his Working With Children Check.
At the moment Wayne is conducting monthly clinics at Merriwa which has 2 vacancies or if there is a group of between 5-10 people in Coolah who would like to attend a clinic then Wayne can organise something for you.
Wayne is also available for Pony Club demonstrations and instruction for both the instructors and children.

About the Author
What kind of paint is used in face painting?
I’m doing a booth at a picnic—-also, are there websites that have info or templates for children’s faces? It’s at an open house for our Horse Farm.
Tons of paint *is* used, so you need to be careful. Only professional quality water-based makeup, *never paint* should be used. I strongly recommend Kryolan Aquacolor and Mehron Paradise. Both products can be purchased from Silly Farm Supplies at www.sillyfarm.com and they’ve always treated me right. LaRocks has Paradise at www.larocks.com and NorCostCo has a limited selection of both at www.norcostco.com (I strongly recommend Silly Farm though – they cater to face painters and have amazing service and all their products are at least safe)
For designs, Snazaroo’s website has an amazing selection at www.snazaroo.us . Click “photo gallery”. I do not recommend their makeup, it isn’t durable and it just isn’t as good as competing products. They say theirs is the safest, but I’ve talked to product reps from Mehron and Kryolan who disagree. All meet FDA regs for cosmetics (except for the blacklight Kryolan colors which are a special effects product).
I really look up to Mark Reid, both as a painter and a person (and hey, he has the same first name as me so that counts for something!), www.markreidart.com is his site and Silly Farm sells a DVD by him called “On your mark, get set, paint!” that is *VERY VERY* helpful and well worth the money!
