Clinton Anderson of Downunder Horsemanship

Celebrating a 100 Podcasts with Clinton Anderson

Clinton AndersonWhen we started the podcast back in January 2012 it was a way of sharing the knowledge about horsemanship Ranae and I have learned from Downunder Horsemanship.  One hundred episodes later, I asked Clinton Anderson to come on the show.  He agreed.  Now, I’ve listened to easily a thousand hours of Clinton Anderson’s voice through the TV show, DVD’s, and in person at the Walkabout Tours.  It could also be said that I’ve had more than a thousand conversations with Clinton Anderson.  Every time I’ve ridden or done groundwork with a horse, Clinton has be in my ear telling me to “Slide, Stab, Step”, “Move his feet”, “Heart attacks are free!”.  I’ll be honest with you, it seemed a bit weird to have him to actually talk to in real life.  By the way, I’m much more eloquent in my imaginary conversations ;>).

Clinton AndersonWhen I found out I had scored the Clinton interview, I had no way of knowing ahead of time which direction the conversation would go.  I’ve heard him casually talk about personality types.  Clinton Anderson is an ESTJ.  The “E” stand for extrovert.  I’m a less strong ISTJ.  The “I” stands for introvert.   On a different rating system he is a red, a quick talker.  Although I have no interest in personality labels, I had to check.  I’m a green, a slow talker.  I knew one thing – he’d being doing most of the talking.  I prepared a number of questions on a wide variety of topics.  While I’m no expert on the Method, I’ve watched enough Clinton Anderson to know the answers to all the horse questions.  Was there a way to get to the non-horse Clinton Anderson?   The interview is  a wild and fun ride.  There were a lot of questions left behind.

One doesn’t have to like the politics of Sir Issac Newton to enjoy gravity.  Just because Ben Franklin may have been a wino and a womanizer doesn’t mean electricity or the post office are bad things.  Whatever you think of Clinton Anderson personally doesn’t matter as much as the Method will make you safer around your horse.  You’ll also have more fun.  Back in 2008, I made a video about part of my journey.

Thanks Clinton for coming on the Whoa Podcast and teaching us horsemanship.  Maybe after another 100 episodes I can ask about your favorite music or tv show…you know, the important questions.

Working Equitation Training

March 24, 2015 by John Leave a Comment

Working Equitation Training

Working Equitation trainingWe take the show on the road for some Working Equitation Training.  The Working Equitation International Association of USA (WEIAUSA) held a Working Equitation training event in Mira Loma, California.  The group invited Portuguese world-class trainer Nuno Matos to help in the working equitation training.  Six trainers spent five full days learning about the sport.

From an earlier Whoa Podcast on Working Equitation we spoke with Tarrin Warren (See episode #42).  From that meeting we contacted the organizers to ask if we could participate in the schooling show and experience for ourselves and our audience what working equitation was all about.  They did us one better by inviting us to arrive a day earlier and get some working equitation training.

We took our recorder and produced a variety of interviews from organizers, trainers, and even the judge of the schooling show.  There is a wide variety great horsemanship information in this show.

Working Equitation trainingAfter spending a day getting some working equitation training, Ranae and I participated in the schooling show.  Ranae competed on Dusty in the Introductory division and I competed on Jessie in the Novice division.  We also created several videos of our runs and some excellent runs by several of the trainers.  You can find those on our YouTube Channel.

Thanks to Julie Alonzo, Vice-Chair of WEIAUSA, Barbara Price, WEIAUSA “L” Judge.  And, special thanks to the trainers who helped us out in our working equitation training: Roy Pelkey, Reta Conner, Robin Bond, Tarrin Warren, and of course, Nuno Matos.

Riding Behind the Padre Richard Collins

Riding Behind the PadreRiding Behind the Padre with Richard Collins

Riding Behind the Padre is a story that bridges three centuries.  The Padre in this case is Father Francisco Kino, a Jesuit priest sent to the New World to convert the natives to the Catholic Church.  In his time, Kino was a respected horseman and he rode the Arizona-Sonoran area befriending and helping the native people.

Richard Collins is a rancher, horseman, and an author.  He ranches on 13,000 acres near the Mexican Border. Riding Behind the Padre comes from Richard’s experience re-enacting the trips of Father Kino with a group including riders from Mexico’s middle-class.  The rides, or cabalgatas, as they are called are done every year to bring attention to the impact Father Kino made on this area.  Richard has made many of the rides and tells us about his experience riding between Mexico and the United States on horseback.  He also shares his inspiration for his book, Riding Behind the Padre.

Unbranded the Film Ben Masters

March 10, 2015 by John 2 Comments

Press Play to Listen

Ben Masters ProduceUnbranded the filmr of Unbranded the Film

Unbranded the Film is a documentary about a horseback ride.  But this is not just any horseback ride, it is a ride that follows the Continental Divide, nearly 3,000 miles.  Ben Masters was a sophomore at Texas A&M studying wildlife biology.  Over the summer break he and a couple of friends thought it would be a great adventure to ride from Texas to Canada.  They needed a few more horses, but didn’t have much money.  Their solution was to acquire a few mustangs from the BLM.  That ride was in 2010.  The group rode for four months, but they did not make it to Canada.

After Ben got home he thought about the ride and how well the mustangs had performed.  They had actually out performed their good horses.  He also kept thinking about the untamed beauty he saw crossing this great country.  This is where the inspiration for Unbranded the Film was born.

Unbranded the filmIf Ben thought crossing the peaks of the Divide at 11,000 feet was difficult, he had no idea what he was getting into with Unbranded the Film.  The movie would obviously need money.  More importantly he would need a crew that was used to filming in extreme conditions.  Ben recruited Phill Baribeau to film and direct.  He also tag Korey Kaczmarek for cinematographer.  Ben started a Kickstarter Campaign to raise funds.  With the help of 1200 supporters and an assist from Western Horseman Magazine just 45 days Unbranded the Film raised over $170,000.

Unbranded the Film was picking up momentum as Ben recruited a few friends to ride along.  The Mustang Heritage Foundation got behind the project.  The group would use 16 mustangs over four months to cover 3,000 miles.

The Unbranded the Film is in “the can” as they say in Hollywood.  Ben and his group will be screening it at a variety of film festivals early this year.  He is hoping for a theatrical release by the middle of the year.  Ben talks about his inspiration for the film and the challenges in making it.

Inspired By Horses Jonathan Field

February 24, 2015 by John 2 Comments

Inspired By Horses ~ Jonathan Field

Inspired By Horses Jonathan Field

Jonathan at Horsemen’s Re-Union

On today’s show we have a terrific trainer and horseman Jonathan Field.  I first met Jonathan at Horsemen’s Re-Union in Paso Robles last year.  He was starting colts and one look at easy, smooth moves in the round pen and you knew he was relating to theses young horses.  His story is quite inspirational.   While a young man working in Canada, Jonathan suffered an industrial accident that nearly amputated his hand.  He recovered and was drawn back into the world of horses.  Yes, you could say he was truly inspired by horses.

Jonathan has studied under some of the greats in the horse world including George Morris and Pat Parelli.  He has developed his own style and program of horsemanship he calls Inspired by Horses. Jonathan has performed at Road to The Horse, has presented many times at Western States Horse Expo.  He headlines at horse shows and expositions all across Canada including The Mane Event and even produces his own equine conference called Jonathan Field and Friends.

Jonathan has used his Inspired by Horses philosophy to write a book, The Art of Liberty Training.  And he has also produced The Foundation for Excellence JUMPING with George Morris.  All this in addition to his own DVD training series.

Today we talk about his life and how he got inspired by horses.  We also talk about a few “real life” training issues I’m having.  Jonathan offers some great advice and I am already seeing results!
