Among his many accolades, Richard won the National Reined Cow Horse Association World Championship and earned the NRCHA Hackamore Circuit Championship title in Pueblo, Colorado. He is a AA rated judge. Winters is a Road to the Horse Colt Starting Champion and returned for six years as their Horseman's Host. He also won the International Colt Starting Contest in Poland.

After serving as The Thacher School's Horse Program Director for two years theWinters are embarking on a new yet very familiar adventure. Richard and Cheryl had been looking at Texas properties for 15 years, and have found their dream property just outside of Weatherfod, Texas. This is now the new home base for Richard Winters Horsemanship.
Richard enjoys traveling and helping horse owners gain the experience needed to take themselves and their equine partners to the next level. "To stretch the envelope and encourage people to do a little more than they would do on their own is very fulfilling." International travels include Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, Mexico, Poland, Scotland, and Sweden. A love for horses, knowledge developed through years of practice and study, as well as a willingness to continue learning are the components that make Richard the "Masterful Communicator" he is today!
