Michael Canfield Lucky Star Horsemanship

January 3, 2023 by John Leave a Comment

Michael CanfieldMichael Canfield Lucky Star Horsemanship

I met Michael Canfield while learning Clinton Anderson’s Downunder Horsemanship Method. Before the podcast, when I was studying videos from Downunder Horsemanship, I joined the No Worries Club in 2007. Back then, the Club had various groups of NWC members around the country. We would get together and practice our horsemanship skills. Michael Canfield formed the NorCal Brumbies and we held several events practicing together. We had a few grand adventures at the Bar SZ Ranch working our horses together. Michael and I stayed friends although we lost contact when he moved to the east coast.

We still connect on social media and I noticed Michael re-activated his Lucky Star Horsemanship (New York) company. Michael holds clinics, gives demonstrations at horse expos like Equine Affaire, and even hosts his own horse expo.

It’s fun and inspirational to see Michael Canfield pursue his passion for horses and teaching people. We talked about his history with horses and his horsemanship philosophy. along the way we hear stories that formed Michael’s approach to horses.

Madison SeamansMadison Seamans Cowboy Poet Veterinarian

Dr. Madison Seamans is one of those rare individuals you can’t help but like for the moment you meet him. Then, the longer you are around him, the more you figure out how smart he is. It’s a rare find in today’s world.

Dr. Seamans has been practicing vet medicine four nearly four decades. You see a lot of “stuff” in that time, some you just can’t help but learn from. He squeezes everything out of those experiences. Part of it is use in his veterinary practice, sharing his knowledge with other, Some he sprinkles throughout his writing and cowboy poetry. And, for those with a visual bent, he saves some for his art.

This is a very easygoing conversation about some of the new information coming from the annual meeting of the American Association of Equine Practitioner conference. Staying current on equine medicine is a tough challenge. So much new information comes out every year. And, we find out Dr. Seamans knows our local vet, Dr. John Tolley.

Madison SeamansThis year, Madison Seamans gets his first book, “Never Trust a Sneaky Pony”, published by Trafalgar Square Books. In this book, you’ll learn a little bit about horse medicine, but mostly he’ll entertain you with the stories.

New Bakersfield College Rodeo Team Formed

July 26, 2022 by John Leave a Comment

New Bakersfield College Rodeo Team Formed

Bakersfield College RodeoYou’d think as big as an agricultural, beef-producing county as Kern is, there would be rodeos all the time. And, in reality, there are. We’ve got the Tehachapi Mountain Rodeo Association producing bull riding, youth, and PRCA rodeos. There’s the Glenville Rodeo and the Sheriff’s Posse Rodeo. We have a Bakersfield Youth Rodeo Club. But, with all that, there was no community college rodeo. That is until adjunct professor, Andrea Prise, formed the Bakersfield college Rodeo Team.

If you’ve listened much to the podcast, you already know I am one of the least knowledgeable people when it comes to rodeo. But, I wanted to learn more, and I’ve attended many classes at Bakersfield College over the years (a story for another time). I tracked down Andrea and the Bakersfield College Rodeo Team President, Cloey Griffiths for a chat. We met in a study room at BC and had a great time talking rodeo.

Andrea and Cloey told me that support for the rodeo team was impressive. She’s getting help from a local stock contractor, Tinoco Bulls, and the Funny Farm. She’s also gotten a good response outside the ag industry with a local plumbing contractor, HPS Plumbing, providing the team with jackets to make them feel like real professionals.

Andrea talked about how valuable it can be for youth riders to compete at the college level. Not only can they hone their skills and get valuable experience, but they get an education too. Cloey is a perfect example. She was going to move away to find a college to rodeo at until she learned about the Bakersfield College Rodeo Team.

Gabrielle Diakon and Equestrian Yoga

June 7, 2022 by John Leave a Comment

Gabrielle DiakonGabrielle Diakon and Equestrian Yoga

We last visited with Gabrielle Diakon, Gabby, nearly two years ago amid quarantine and COVID. Gabby is still doing yoga for equestrians and working with horses. Now, she is podcasting. Gabrielle Diakon’s Rolling My Third Eye Podcast is available on all podcast platforms. Her show focuses on equestrian mindfulness and deals with fear, anxiety, and many other issues competitive horse riders deal with. But, Gabby has also widened the show to include mediation, yoga, and connection outside of the equestrian world. Her philosophies help people deal with the problems life throws their way.

We chat about many topics in this episode. The importance of journaling and how it can help focus. We talk about the power of creative visualization. Gabby is very open and willingly shares stories of her life and experience.

Gabby holds online Yoga for Equestrians every Wednesday night at 7 PM central.

Breakaway From Cancer

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...]
