Horse Cleaning and Jessie

December 10, 2013 by John Leave a Comment

A Little Horse Cleaning

We wanted to shoot some video for our Testing the Intermediate Exercises and it required a little horse cleaning.   Appearance is everything after all, and we needed her to look beautiful to distract the viewer from how poorly we executed the exercises (wink-wink) .  Fall in California is chilly, but not terribly cold.  Most of the time a good brushing is enough.  For this adventure I bathed her early in the day.  She was drying fast enough.  My cameraman (translate wife) was worried we would run out of light on these short winter days.   There was only one thing to do:  pull out the hair dryer.  Jessie seemed to rather like it.   You’ll see in this short little horse cleaning video (it’s only 33 seconds long).  Jessie is not tied to anything.  There are no strings, ropes or mirrors.  There are no tricks up my sleeve.  However, those are mulberry leaves she is standing on.  They are as sweet as candy to her. Knowing that she was just ground tied, I was surprised when she did not go after them.  Needless to say we got her dried off enough to shoot the video.  We did have to rush and we shot until all the light was gone.  But, we made it and she looks really good in the video.  Check it out!

Working the Hay Stack

December 12, 2012 by John Leave a Comment

After our video called Gettin Hay we had a ton (hay joke) of questions on how we manage the hay stack, how we get the hay down, and so we thought we would show you in this short video called Working the Stack. We learned it takes about twice as long when you video tape it. Enjoy!

A Conversation with our Farrier Sean McRoberts

December 11, 2012 by John 9 Comments

A Conversation with our Farrier Sean McRoberts

We keep our horses unshod or “barefoot” and our farrier, Sean McRoberts comes out about every eight weeks to trim them up.  Sean has an interesting life.  He spent years riding bulls professionally and almost made it to the NFR.  He traveled around the country following the rodeo circuit until injuries and age led him to retire from bull riding.  Now he makes a living working with horses’ feet.  But Sean loves to compete, and he is a top team roper.  He knows a lot about horses, cows and cowboys and he’s got a lot of stories to tell.

The sound quality is not always the best, but I love the sound of the nippers, rasps, and even the birds and dogs making noise.  What does your farrier talk about?  Feel free to share your experiences with us email us at john@whoapodcast.com.  Thanks for listening!
