Along for the Ride Symposium Recap

Along for the Ride Symposium Recap

Along For the RideOn the last week of February 2022, we traveled to the South Point Casino for the Along for the Ride Symposium Andrea Fappani, Shawn Flarida, and Nick Dowers. The brainchild of Andrea Fappani, this first-time event, brought together the leading money winners in reining with the express purpose of sharing ideas about horse training. The symposium featured the colt starting technique of 2-time Road to the Horse Champion, Nick Dowers. Nick started two colts up to their first ride. Watching and asking questions were Andrea Fappani and Shawn Flarida. Spectators not only asked questions, they got to see and hear how these very experienced horsemen reacted to each other.

The three-day event comprised day-long sessions from 8am until 4 PM. There were a few special guests, such as Arron Moses, champion Western Pleasure trainer. We got to see horses of varying ages and what they expected at different stages of their training. Nick Dowers, who competes n the Cow Horse world, demonstrated how he started his horse on cattle. Friday and Saturday evenings there were live Along for the Ride podcasts. These roundtable discussions were open to a variety of topics.

This was a unique event that provide quality information. I hope Andrea Fappani and the sponsors (the title sponsor was Teton Ridge) will host the event again. The crowd really seemed to enjoy the personal connection they made with all the people involved.

    Yesterday I enjoyed listening to the podcast of Nancy McKnight telling about her life with horses.
    I knew her before she was involved with Pony Club though she was, of course, very involved with horses. I really like that black and white photo of her jumping and wonder if there is any way I could buy a copy from you. Please let me know.
    Thank you!

      Thank you for listening. I really enjoyed that conversation too. About the photo, I do not own the rights to that. I would suggest you try to contact her son, Kelly, at McKnight Farms. I’m sure he would love to hear from you. The link is on that episode page. Thanks again for listening.

Breakaway From Cancer

Breakaway From Cancer Today we are doing something a little different. Often, I get requests from someone to be on the show. They have a good book, a new piece of tack, or a good cause. There's not enough content for an entire show, but it's worthwhile information I think you's like to know. Since I'm producing a long version every other week, I thought I'd experiment with a short podcast in between. Let me know what you think. Beth … [Read More...]
