Description

An informal and candid podcast discussing real world horsemanship with respected and experienced experts. Daniel is a guy who is good with horses. He has a background in cutting where he was predominantly involved in developing aged event horses and started over 1000 head of colts, many of whom went on to win lots of cash. A very bad horse wreck at a horse show, involving his niece, prompted him to begin working with people and showing them a no BS version of how to not get killed by their horses. He's since worked with thousands more horses and people from varying disciplines and breeds including many last chance problem horses. In addition to his general horsemanship knowledge he is an internationally known expert on bits and how and why they function. He has a well rounded knowledge base of horsemanship and is working hard at his communication skills with his own species. His wife is a firm believer that he really likes the sound of his own voice and that is the real reason he's started this podcast. http://dauphinhorsemanship.com/

Tucker is a thoughtful guy with an interesting perspective. He talks about the work that they do, the country an...
Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info. This guy has been coming across my reels a lot lately.

Scott Purdum owns/operates Advantage Horsemanship and bills himself as a rider confidence coach and horse behaviorist. He seemed interesting. What you'...

Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info. It's time for our newest Q & A with Nicole Shoup. Nicole takes your questions from our facebook group, Bits, Spurs, and Good Sense, and brings them to the podcast. We talk about the term "sacking out". And then get into desensitizing, freeze and things to keep in mind. This leads to shut down horses and that rabbit hole. Next, what about horses that don't like to be caught? One of my fav...

This is a warmup for him, as he'll be part of the interview for a future guest. He takes me through the lightening round questions and ads in a few of his own. How many points will he give me?

He is also a very high level horseman and very competitive gu...
Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info. Describing Nahshon Cook is an unenviable task. He's not easily put in a box.
