Stone Horse Mongolian Horseback Expeditions

March 28, 2017 by John 4 Comments

Stone Horse Mongolian Horseback Expeditions

horse expeditionsDo you have a bucket list?  Have you ever thought of taking a horseback expedition? How about a desire to travel to exotic places?  Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ride a Mongolian horse?  After all, the Mongols were one of the first horse cultures.  

When I began doing this podcast I never dreamt it would go around the world. Through the internet, the show has downloads in over 80 different countries. It is amazing and, just between you and me, I hope some of those listeners aren’t trying to learn English from me.

When Keith Swenson emailed me from Mongolia wanting to talk about his horseback expedition rides I was immediately captivated. I’m not sure what your picture of Mongolia is, but mine was a cold, dark, barren place I had seen in a “b” movie.   After talking with Keith and visiting his website and YouTube Channel I had a totally different picture.  I really needed to know more about his company, Stone Horse Expeditions.  Stone Horse has expeditions to Gorkhi Terelj National Park, Mongolia Wilderness, Khan Khentii Mountains, as well as excursions to the Gobi Desert.

If you are exploring using the Trans-Siberian Railway you can take advantage of their Train to Ger and experience authentic Ger hospitality and culture.

Tom Hagwood More Than Mustang Millionaire

March 20, 2017 by John Leave a Comment

Tom Hagwood More Than Mustang Millionaire

Tom HagwoodMost people know Tom Hagwood because he won three straight events in Fort Worth including the Mustang Million.  But, what many people may not know about Tom is how he came to his first BLM mustang.  It was out of necessity.  It was 2008 and the economy was in the dump.  People weren’t paying to have their horses trained.  Tom Hagwood needed to work, but didn’t have a horse.  He picked up a little mustang from the BLM.  After thirteen rides, he put the horse to work.  

The horse not only impressed Tom, but he impressed others as well.  When one of Tom’s friends suggested he enter a mustang competition, Tom scoffed.  But friends convinced him he was good enough to make some money at it and Tom gave it a try.  In a classic story of rags to riches, Tom Hagwood won the Mustang Million on a horse named Merv.

I caught up with Tom at his ranch in Powell, Wyoming with his wife Arianne, and daughter Tommi Jean.  We talked about the secrets to winning a mustang competition, horsemanship, and life in general.  He also tells me how to perfect his signature turnaround.

Bill Cameron Extreme Cowboy Race

January 24, 2017 by John Leave a Comment

Bill Cameron Extreme Cowboy Race

Bill CameronBill Cameron has been competing and showing horses all his life.  As a youngster, he planned to go to the Olympics until he came down with mononucleosis.  He wanted to be a jockey and rode two horses to wins until he grew.  In 2009, he entered the Equine Affaire Extreme Cowboy Race in Pomona.  He won that competition on I’ll Cowboy Up.  From there, Bill Cameron has excelled in Extreme Cowboy Racing.  In 2012, he was inducted into the Extreme Cowboy Association (EXCA) Hall of Fame.

Today, Bill Cameron is chairman of the Extreme Cowboy Association Advisory Board.  He is a Level 5 (the highest) EXCA competition judge and an EXCA course designer.

As part of our 2017 goal, Ranae and I have chosen to participate in the three EXCA races being hosted by Shades of Gold Ranch in Leona Valley, California.  We went to Bill Cameron Ranch to learn more about strategy and training.

Lindsay McKenna Wind River Valley Author

January 17, 2017 by John Leave a Comment

Lindsay McKenna

Lindsay McKennaLindsay McKenna has led a full life, and it’s still going strong.  She broke a wild horse at age 12, took flying lessons at 17, and joined the Navy in 1964. And, those are only a few of her accomplishments.  Because of her military service, Lindsay McKenna is sensitive to military experiences.  She writes what she knows, and she knows about veterans and PTSD.  She has written so many novels dealing with military and mercenary subjects, she earned the nickname “Top Gun of Women’s Military Fiction.”

Because of her military service, Lindsay McKenna is sensitive to military experiences.  She writes what she knows, and she knows about veterans and PTSD.  She has written so many novels dealing with military and mercenary subjects, she earned the nickname “Top Gun of Women’s Military Fiction.”

But Lindsay McKenna knows about horses too.  Her new books, the Wind River Valley series, deal with horses and ranching life.  Because Lindsay has been around horses all her life, has even owned her own ranch where she bred and raised Arabians, I wanted to have her on the show.

Behind the Scenes

Lindsay is a wonderful storyteller.  A funny thing about the interview.  I have recorded over 100 different shows now and, as many of you know there has been an occasional glitch.  Most have been minor problems with volume or a poor phone line.  This podcast took two tries.  Lindsay McKenna tells the story of being struck by lightning when she was nine.  It’s an amazing tale.  After our first conversation, when I went to edit the audio, as soon as gets to the part in the tale where the lightning strike takes place, there’s nothing but static.

Two days later I request another interview.  Lindsay graciously agrees.  We have another great conversation.  Near the end, I ask her to once again relate the lightning bolt story.  No more than thirty seconds in, the line goes dead.  We reconnect several times with the same result.  You’ll hear part of what happens on the podcast.

Military Adventure Romance

Now, I must admit, I’m not a romance novel reader.  Lindsay McKenna created a whole new genre called Military Adventure Romance.  Most of you know I listen to quite a few books on Audible.  She has several there (Lindsay McKenna has written over 175 books and sold over 23 MILLION copies worldwide!).  Almost all the ratings were 4 and 5 stars. Her new book is Wind River Rancher.  We talk about the inspiration and reason behind the story.  She sent me a copy and I’m looking forward to reading it.

The Life of Mustang Man Bobby Kerr

September 8, 2016 by John 1 Comment

Bobby Kerr, The Mustang Man

bobby kerr

We have a good story for you today.  Bobby Kerr, the Mustang Man lives his life.  Bobby came to town for the Tehachapi Mountain Rodeo, a PRCA event.  Since Bobby works with mustangs and has started many horses.  I’ve started one, my wild Oak Creek horse, Scratch.  My friend and rodeo announcer Dal Bunn knows I’m always looking to learn more and he invited Scratch and me to meet Bobby at the rodeo grounds.  I rode with Bobby in the morning.  He has smooth hands and works his horses with apparent ease.  Bobby was generous with his time and even rode Scratch.  He complimented us on the work we had done, then gave me some pointers to help us get better.

Performing over 100 times a year, Bobby travels across the country entertaining rodeo fans everywhere.  His act includes both dogs and horses, along with the props for his show.   I sat down with Bobby and talked about his journey through horsemanship.

From his first experience with the 4 B Wild West Show, how he ran away at age fourteen, and then how his friend and bit maker, Jeff Payne got him interested in the Mustang Makeover, Bobby Kerr tells the story of his life with horses.

Bobby Kerr makes horsemanship look easy.  His horses glide and go wherever he asks.  Listening to Bobby tell his story led me to believe there is no secret to his magic.  He wanted to be a cowboy and ride a horse since he was twelve.  A cowboy gets the job done, some way, some how, often with little money and a lot of imagination and ingenuity.  It’s fitting that he is now linked to the American Mustang.  The two have survived the harsh environment of the west by making magic together.

About Us

Welcome to the Whoa Podcast about Horses and Horsemanship.   I am your host  John Harrer.  Each week on the show we talk about some aspect of owning a horse.  From feeding or supplementation to bits and bridles, tack, or cowboy boots, we cover training problems, or competing in shows.  We talk about the Western/ Cowboy lifestyle in 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.
