“Training through Understanding” is the motto of Jim Thomas’ Bar T Horsemanship. Jim feels if you understand what your horse needs to learn, then give it to him, you will improve your relationship.

And, Jim Thomas ought to know. Jim has started scores of mustangs for the BLM and competed in many Mustang Makeovers. He travels the country year around teaching people how to build a stronger bond with their horse.

As one of the speakers at the Best Horse Practices Summit in Durango, Colorado, October 8-10, Jim will be sharing what he has learned about Evidence-Based Horsemanship. More importantly, Jim hopes you be able to take the principles learned at the Summit and put them to work Immediately for you.

Best Horse Practices Summit

Ranae and I are headed to Durango in October for the Best Horse Practices Summit. This intimate horse expo brings together experts from all aspects of horse behavior and is sure to add to our horse knowledge. The BHP Summit is limiting attendance to 200 people ensuring everyone gets the focus and attention they need. We are looking to take away valuable horsemanship tools from the Summit and hope to meet you there. You can register here.

Matt Sheridan Norco Horse Affair 2017

We welcome Matt Sheridan to his third visit to the show. Matt is a 5th generation horseman and knows his stuff. As part of the Norco Horse Affair 2017, Matt is presenting several topics to horsemen attending the event. On this show, he discusses the moving the horse from the hackamore to the bridle and the challenges trainers will face. Matt is also planning a session on “Bits and Biting”, explaining the different mouthpieces and how the horse is expected to respond to them.

As a special treat, there will be a basic Ranch Roping segment hosted by Matt. People will get the opportunity to pick up some tips to improve their Ranch Roping.

For those who show, Matt offers some tips on how to impress the judges. Matt has held his judges’ card for years. He is an experienced showman. Because he has been on both sides in the show ring – competitor and judge – his insights carry extra weight in helping you become a better showman.

Ask the Trainer

Matt participates in our first Ask the Trainer segment by answering a question sent to us by Bobby Chastain. If you have a question for a trainer, send it to John@whoapodcast.com.
