Yoga for Equestrians with Gabrielle Diakon

July 21, 2020 by John Leave a Comment

Yoga for Equestrians

yoga for equestriansI had been practicing yoga for about 5 years when I got my first horse at age 51.  The year was 2005.  My goal was to ride a lot and, although I considered myself fit, my body was feeling the aches and pains of daily horseback riding.  Changing my yoga routine to compensate for the muscles I was using as an equestrian really helped me get through the initial period of intense riding.

Yoga helped so much, I tried talking my yoga instructor into letting me develop a class specific to equestrians. She wasn’t into horses, and I didn’t know enough people with horses to inspire a special class.  My plans for a “Yoga for Equestrians” class fizzled out.  Recently I brought up in casual conversation among my horse friends that I was once a yoga instructor.   Then they asked if I would be interested in teaching a class.  That got me to thinking about yoga again.  

While I’m too busy to add a yoga class to my plate, I found a qualified horsewoman who has developed a “Yoga for Equestrians” program.  Gabrielle Diakon is a yoga instructor with a passion for horses.  Gabrielle has constructed yoga workout videos especially designed for those of us who ride.  Now, in these times of COVID quarantines, yoga online seems the perfect solution.

Tiffany McLaury Colt Starter

April 28, 2020 by John Leave a Comment

Tiffany McLaury Colt Starter

Tiffany McLauryTiffany 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.

Carmalee Scarpitti Overcomes Difficult Challenges

carmalee scarpittiCarmalee 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.

Carmalee Scarpitti wanted more and searched the internet for articles and videos on horsemanship.  her thirst for information was insatiable.  She kept studying, riding, and getting stronger.  By a lucky draw, while on a trail ride, Camalee won a year membership to Julie Goodnight’s Horsemaster Academy.  The program ignited her desire to learn more.  She found the program very helpful and wanted to share her experiences with other people.  Carmalee completed the Horsemaster Academy in just under a year and no is looking forward to teaching.

Pay It Forward

“Paying back” is a philosophy Carmalee is very passionate about.  Whether it the horsemanship knowledge she’s learned over the years, her local 4-H Club, or the therapeutic riding center, Horses for Hope,  that help her get her legs back, Carmalee Scarpitti feels it is essential to share her experience.

Inspiration with John Toli

February 18, 2020 by John Leave a Comment

Inspiration with John Toli

John ToliSomething completely unexpected happened to John Toli.  John is a regular listener of the podcast and his story involves respected horseman Buster McLaury.  The whole story began with a vacation/horse clinic trip John took with his wife Lisa.  John didn’t want to tell the story because he met a horseman and wanted to brag about.  He wants to tell his story to inspire others to say “yes” to opportunity.   John took a chance and reached out to Buster to help him train his horse.  What he didn’t know was that it would lead to such a special friendship.

John wants people to know that we all have insecurities and doubts.  He wants you to know how his life was enriched when he didn’t give in to those insecurities.

And that’s the wonderful thing about producing this podcast.  Listeners from all over the world have reached out to me to share their thoughts and ideas.  The horse has brought us together.  By sharing our knowledge and experience with one another we grow.  We grow not only has horse men and women but as humans.  Thanks for sharing.

Jim Masterson Explains His Method

Jim Masterson Explains His Method Early in my horsemanship journey, I volunteered at Equine Affaire in Pomona. So it must have been around 2006 or 2007, while moving from one exhibit to another, that I saw this man giving a demonstration about massaging a horse.  Well, at least that's what it looked like to me. Over the course of the weekend, and the years I continued to volunteer; I saw Jim Masterson a couple of times. My duties as a volunteer … [Read More...]
