The Horsemen’s Re-Union

A gathering of the best at the Horsemen’s Re-union.

What if there were a colt starting competition that wasn’t really a competition? What if there were 20 of the best horsemen/women from around the world who got together to start colts just like they would if they were on their own ranch? What if YOU could watch close up and personal? This is The Horsemen’s Re-Union.

On this week’s show we speak with Martin Black, one of the producers of The Horsemen’s Re-Union where these “What if’s” turn into reality. Martin tells us about this unique competition going on April 15th-20th on the Central Coast of California at the Mid-State Fairgrounds in Paso Robles. You can see some of your favorite horsemen and clinicians start two colts each over a five day period. You get to see how colt starting was meant to be.

Included in the event are a concert and dinner loaded with lots of entertainment.

The are a wide variety of ticket packages available. For tickets and more information check out the Horsemen’s Reunion website and you can find them on Facebook to get updates on the schedule.

The New Whoa Podcast about Horses and Horsemanship

January 1, 2013 by John Leave a Comment

The Whoa Podcast

We start the new year with our new name The Whoa Podcast About Horses and Horsemanship. Initially we called our show the DUH podcast. We changed our name to the Whoa Podcast for a couple of reasons, most notably because many folks thought we were affiliated with Downunder Horsemanship. We are not. We just learned most of what we know from using the Method and wanted an avenue to share that knowledge with others.

Now we want to spread our wings a bit and explore other aspects of horses and horsemanship and perhaps build a brand ourselves. Now, we hope to explore other aspects of the horse world. We’ll talk about training, of course, but from a number of differing philosophies. We also hope to talk about horse-keeping and care. And, we want to add a little culture by talking about movies, music and books.

We think you will like the new show. Ranae and I are just like you dealing with the challenges of horse ownership while juggling work, family, and other life commitments. Join the Whoa Podcast and “stop by” our show as we learn together.

We hope you find and like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

A Conversation with our Farrier Sean McRoberts

A Conversation with our Farrier Sean McRoberts

We keep our horses unshod or “barefoot” and our farrier, Sean McRoberts comes out about every eight weeks to trim them up. Sean has an interesting life. He spent years riding bulls professionally and almost made it to the NFR. He traveled around the country following the rodeo circuit until injuries and age led him to retire from bull riding. Now he makes a living working with horses’ feet. But Sean loves to compete, and he is a top team roper. He knows a lot about horses, cows and cowboys and he’s got a lot of stories to tell.

The sound quality is not always the best, but I love the sound of the nippers, rasps, and even the birds and dogs making noise. What does your farrier talk about? Feel free to share your experiences with us email us at john@whoapodcast.com. Thanks for listening!
