Tiffany McLaury Colt Starter
Tiffany McLaury’s name might sound familiar. She is the daughter of Buster and Sheryl McLaury. Buster and Sheryl spent many years working on and managing ranches. In 1984, they met Ray and Carolyn Hunt and their view of horsemanship changed. Tiffany grew up learning about training horses and starting colts from not only her parents, but many other well-known trainers.
About a month ago listener Jeana Marie Andreatta wrote m. Jeana is deep into horses. Her business Tumbling J Mohair Tack hand crafts Mohair cinches. Jeana also teaches at Equi911. So when she writes me with a suggestion for a guest, I listen. Jeana is friends with Tiffany McLaury a horse trainer and colt starter in Paducah Texas. Tiffany knows a lot about horsemanship growing up learning from her father and mother, Buster and Cheryl McLaury. She’s real easy to talk to and our conversation wanders all over the place – well all over the place on the topic of horses. We could have gone on another hour, but we know you have chores to do. Here’s my conversation with Tiffany McLaury.

I heard some people call barefoot horse trimming natural hoof care. A quick search on Wikipedia says there is early evidence of mule shoes in Rome as far back as 400 BC. Now you would think in 2,000 years of equine husbandry, we would have figured out what is best for the horse’s foot. I’m not sure we have. If you ask two different farriers and a veterinarian the best way to trim a hoof, I would not be surprised if they came up with four different answers. It’s like politics or religion. There are a lot of opinions about barefoot horse trimming out there.
Carmalee Scarpitti loves learning. In 2003, it turned her world upside down when she was in an accident with a drunk driver. Badly injured, Carmalee was in a wheelchair for months. Therapy worked to a point, but she need more help. She found a therapeutic riding center, Horses for Hope, and began with one therapeutic riding session a week. Her legs got stronger, her core strength improved too. Her progress was so impressive, she took the leap and got her own horse, Macy.
