FJ Thomas Returns

December 19, 2017 by John Leave a Comment

FJ Thomas Returns

Jewel Thomas releases her 2nd children’s book, Pedro’s Problemo.

children's booksFJ “Jewel” Thomas is an avid horsewoman, an author of both novels and children’s books, and a wonderful friend of the Whoa Podcast.  We spoke with FJ after the release of her first novel, Lost Betrayal, nearly two years ago.   Since then she has written two children’s books, a couple of more novels, and is working on a screenplay.  Her latest children’s book, Pedro’s Problemo, is illustrated by a ten-year-old.  It’s a cool little story for kids.

Because FJ has been around horses her entire life, her stories include details about horses and horsemanship that are accurate and realistic.  She writes what she knows – horses.

In addition to her other endeavors, FJ continues to bring awareness of women’s issues with her blog Cowgirls with Curves.  Her site offers tips for women in horsemanship, fitness, diet, and exercise.  She is very aware of the motivation some women need to pursue their horsemanship goals.

And, FJ Thomas is an avid horsewoman.  She rides. competes, offers clinics, and is a judge in the show world.  I’m not sure how she finds time for everything.  This girl has a motor and is an inspiration.

Wranglers Challenge Veterans and Lindsay McKenna

November 14, 2017 by John Leave a Comment

Wranglers Challenge Recognizing Veterans with Lindsay McKenna

Wranglers ChallengeWranglers Challenge is Lindsay McKenna’s new book. As a writer, Lindsay McKenna created a whole new genre called Military Adventure Romance.   We wanted to do something this year to raise awareness and support for veterans.  As a veteran, Lindsay McKenna knows many of the struggles veterans face after their service.  And, she is quite aware that there are many forms of PTSD.

Most of you know I listen to quite a few books on Audible.  Lindsay has several there (Lindsay McKenna has written over 200 books and sold over 23 MILLION copies worldwide!).  Almost all the ratings were 4 and 5 stars.  Many of Lindsay’s book deal with veterans and their reintegration back into society after their military service.

We talk much more than her new book, Wranglers Challenge.  Lindsay has an amazing life and she tells many tales of her experiences including those with horses.

Catching Up With Sam Finden

November 7, 2017 by John Leave a Comment

Catching Up With Sam Finden

Sam FindenSam Finden was on the show a few years ago after he published his first book, Saddle My Good Horse.  Sam is a good guy and we hit it off immediately.  He writes what he knows – horses, hunting, and living in the country.  An avid fan of the outdoors, Sam is loving life in Montana.

A lot has happened in the almost two years Sam has been on the show and I wanted to catch up with our friend.  Sam has married and written two more books – Lone Wolf and Big Cat Challenge since we last spoke.  Part of a series, the books deal with life in the wilderness and have a Christian influence.  If you’re looking for good winter reading or a Christmas gift for someone special, I urge you to check out Sam’s books.

The Freelance Remuda Podcast

Freelance Remuda PodcastI met Abigail Boatwright at the first event I covered as a freelance writer/photographer in Colorado three years ago.  At the time Abigail was covering the event for the AQHA Journal.  Now, along with friend and freelance writer/photographer Kate Bradley Byers, they produce the Freelance Remuda Podcast.  On the show, they talk about the many aspects of being a freelancer.  There are a lot of great tips, tricks, and information pertinent to anyone wanting to make a living as a freelance journalist.

Because of my experience as a podcaster and a freelancer, the women invited me on the show to talk about my experience.  We add a snippet of that interview in this episode of the Whoa Podcast.  If you are or want to, work as a freelancer, I encourage you to check out the Freelance Remuda Podcast and the Freelance Remuda Facebook Group Page.

Tom Moates Equestrian Journalist Author Horseman

October 3, 2017 by John Leave a Comment

Tom Moates Equestrian Journalist Author Horseman

Tom MoatesTom Moates is an equestrian journalist.  You may have read one of his articles in Eclectic Horseman, The AQHA Journal, Ranch & Reata, or Western Horseman magazine.  If you have, you may have noticed his special insight into the trials and tribulations of a beginning horseman.  It’s because Tom Moates came late in life to horses.  His journey is very similar to mine.  Tom writes frankly about his challenges, wrecks, and the learning curve we all must endure if we choose to coexist with our equine partners.

Luckily for Tom Moates, he came across trainer Harry Whitney.  That name was unfamiliar to me, but then I’m new to the horse world too.  Tom credits Harry’s teaching with really improving his horsemanship.  So much so, that Tom has written several books based on the notes and journals he kept while attending Harry’s clinics.

Tom’s 5-book series, Journey into Honest Horsemanship, includes his most popular title A Horse’s Thoughts.  The series covers what Tom has learned over the years of working and writing about horses.

Dr. Robert Miller Imprint Training & Horsemanship

July 18, 2017 by John 1 Comment

Dr. Robert M. Miller Imprint Training & Horsemanship

Dr. Robert MillerDr. Robert Miller graduated from Colorado State University and settled down in Thousand Oaks, California where he founded Conejo Valley Veterinary Clinic.  After 31 years in practice, he retired.  Dr. Miller is widely known as an expert in ethology, the study of animal behavior. More than 30 years ago he noticed the effect of imprint training on newborn foals.  While he retired from veterinary practice 30 years ago, he is far from idle.  Colleges, equine conventions, and horse organizations have asked him to speak and share his knowledge.   Dr. Robert Miller has visited every continent giving lectures about animal behavior.

Award Winning Knowledge

While still going strong on the lecture circuit, at age 90 he has won too many awards to mention here.  He was the Western Horseman Magazine, Horseman of the Year in 2012, he’s in the Western States Expo Hall of Fame, and was named Equine Continuing Educator of the Year in 2012 by Western Veterinary Conference.

Dr. Robert Miller Books and Videos

The author of 23 books and working on his 24th, Dr. Miller has written two books about the revolution in horsemanship and what it means to the industry.  His videos Early Learning and Understanding Horses are must-haves for every horse owner and breeder.  To find more of Dr. Robert Miller’s video and books go to RobertMMiller.com.
