Jason Irwin Horseman & Clinician

Jason Irwin Horseman & Clinician

Jason Irwin is a horse trainer and clinician in Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. I received an email saying that I needed to interview Jason. There are a lot of very talented horse trainers out there and many of them don’t get the attention they deserve. I think Jason is one of them. Jason and I spoke on the phone and I discovered that last year they invited him to the big Equine Affaire Shows on the east coast. The Western States Horse Expo scheduled him to present in June. Of course, everyone’s 2020 schedule got thrown into the tumbler. Jason, along with his wife Bronwyn, hold horsemanship clinics throughout the year.

Jason Irwin’s love affair with horses began with his Dad at their horse and livestock, NorthStar Livestock. It was there he learned how to pick up horses in the States, bring them home to Canada, train, then sell them. Jason developed his eye for a horse pretty enough to catch your eye and willing enough to accept training. Jason worked with hundreds of horses. He learned from books, tapes, and practical experience. As Jason put it, “I could read about a technique in one of the horse magazines and take it out the next day and try it on 10 different horses. You find out quick what works and what doesn’t.”

Tiffany McLaury Colt Starter

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.
