BHP Summit Recap

October 24, 2017 by John Leave a Comment

BHP Summit Recap

The BHP Summit is in the books. Organizers and participants called it very successful. Ranae and I enjoyed the educational seminars, the teaching clinics, and the town of Durango. The weather was near perfect and every participant we talked to had only good things to say.

There were many excellent academic presentations. One early morning elective even had us holding a horse’s brain in the palm of our hands. Learning how a horse learns from a scientific perspective was the focus of the BHP Summit.

We made some new friends, Brian and Charlene Stephenson of East Point Horspice in Nebraska. What began for them as a horse hospice has grown into a therapeutic riding center and horse retirement home. We got a chance to talk with them and they are doing some wonderful work. Brian sent some wonderful photos of the work they do at East Point Horspice. Please check them out below.

Another person we had the opportunity to meet was Letitia Glen of Natural Horseman Saddles. She sat down with me to talk about saddle fit and design.

Film crews surrounded every presentation and we understand that videos of the BHP Summit will be available in 2018. Check out Best Horse Practices for details. One video I would highly recommend is the session with Randy Reiman and Bryan Neubert. These cowboys are great storytellers and their tribute to Bill and Tom Dorrance is priceless.

Sacramento Wild Horse Program with Joe Misner

August 22, 2017 by John Leave a Comment

Sacramento Wild Horse Program with Joe Misner

Joe Misner has competed in 13 Extreme Mustang Makeovers. He placed in the top ten in 9 of those competitions. And, Joe Misner loves teaching what he has learned about wild horses. Joe is dedicated to helping America’s wild horses and prisoners looking to change the path of their life.

Joe Misner is the manager of the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center Wild Horse Program. He has developed a horsemanship program for inmates of the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department. The prisoners learn to train wild mustangs from the Bureau of Land Management. The horses are auctioned off and the proceeds go to the Mustang Heritage Foundation. It’s a win-win situation for both the inmates, wild mustangs, and Joe Misner.

The Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center’s next adoption sale is October 14 at 9 am. Find out all the information at Friends of R3C dot com.

Best Horse Practices Summit

Ranae and I are headed to Durango in October for the Best Horse Practices Summit. This intimate horse expo brings together experts from all aspects of horse behavior and is sure to add to our horse knowledge. The BHP Summit is limiting attendance to 200 people ensuring everyone gets the focus and attention they need. We are looking to take away valuable horsemanship tools from the Summit and hope to meet you there. You can register here.
