Show notes
On the road again. This time we head out to Horse Expo Pomona for the three-day event held on Super Bowl Weekend. Horse Expo Pomona had a fantastic lineup of Clinicians including Clinton Anderson, Jonathan Field, Pat Parelli, Craig Cameron, Warwick Schiller, Brandi Lyons, Mary Kitzmiller and many more. There were seminars and presentations going on at four different venues throughout the day.
Kristine WridingThere was live music by Kristine Wriding and three buildings filled with vendors catering to the horse and rider.
While I could only stay for the first day of Horse Expo Pomona, I was able to interview some of my favorites. Jonathan Field talks about a free video series he is introducing on his website, 31 in 13. Jonathan is an effective clinician and a wonderful interview. We spent a good 15 minutes talking about my project horse Scratch before we got into a general discussion about his horsemanship. Check out JonathanFieldHorsemanship.net for more details.
Clinton AndersonClinton Anderson was making his return to Horse Expo Pomona after an almost 10 year absence. Clinton has big plans for a show idea coming up in 2017. While he would not reveal any of the secrets of the new production, if you listen to the words he says, rearrange the letters, you'll exactly what he is up to (that's a joke unless you figure it out, then let me know).
My friend Laura Rene Johnson was competing in the Ultimate Super Horse Challenge and we got and insight into the tension that these competitors feel. Laura did a great job with her horse Star.
I had heard, from many of you actually, that Warwick Shiller is an effective horseman. While he used to be a reining horse trainer, Warwick now travels extensively sharing his horsemanship knowledge. He is very active on Facebook and is available to answer questions. Check out the group Warwick Schiller Performance Horsemanship or WarwickSchiller.com.
Warwick SchillerCraig Cameron is out to have a good time. He's as much an entertainer as he is a horseman. His down-home style and simple explanations of his exercises are the reason he is one of the top clinicians out there. We even got to talk to one of Craig's apprentices, Anton Hagstrom. Anton is from Sweden and is learning a lot from Craig. Check out CraigCameron.com.
Interested in Helping the Show?It takes a lot of time an money to put on the podcast. I've been willingly footing the bill on both for four years now. My equipment is wearing out. My travel budget is shrinking. If yo want to help, there is a simple way to do it. I've partnered with Patreon. You can contribute any amount. Anything you would care to send along would be greatly appreciate. Thanks.
About UsWelcome to the Whoa Podcast about Horses and Horsemanship. I am your host John Harrer. Along with my wife, Ranae, each week on the show we talk about some aspect of owning a horse. It could be feeding or supplementation. It could be bits and bridles, tack, or cowboy boots. We cover training problems, or competing in shows. We talk to farriers and horse chiropractors. We talk about movies, books and magazine articles. And, we travel to places we think you would like to take your horse. That’s what the Whoa Podcast is all about.
