Jason Irwin Horseman & Clinician

June 2, 2020 by John Leave a Comment

Jason Irwin Horseman & Clinician

Jason IrwinJason 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

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

March 17, 2020 by John Leave a Comment

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.

TJ Clibborn Horseman, Trainer

February 4, 2020 by John 1 Comment

TJ Clibborn Horseman, All-Around Trainer, Mustang Makeover Competitor

TJ ClibbornI received an email from listener Mercedes Tucker who told me how much TJ Clibborn helped her with her mustang Bud.  She said he was a good guy, knew his stuff, and thought he would make a great guest. She was right.

TJ Clibborn has been working with horses for 40 years.  He lives in Wisconsin and operating his business called A True Partnership.  In 2009, he teamed up with the Mustang Heritage Foundation and since then has competed in 15 Extreme Mustang Makeover training challenges. He has trained 13 top ten finalists, one reserve champion and one grand champion. He has also trained champions in disciplines of jumping, cutting and western pleasure.

I caught up with TJ right after he finished with his horses on a snowy morning at his ranch in Deerfield.  Sometimes you can get a feel for a trainer by how easy and comfortable they are to talk to. TJ is one of those people generous with both his time and his knowledge.

We cover a Wide Variety of Topics

With four decades of experience, TJ Clibborn, can talk on any horse topic.  We cover the Jeffrey Method, a style of horse training from Australia.  TJ saw Kel Jeffrey gentle a horse when he was a boy and knew he wanted to train horses.

Most trainers will tell you they learn the most from their most difficult horses.  So, I asked TJ about his.  He went on at length describing the horse, his problems and things he would do different.  Then, we talk about trail trials and  training.  Lastly, TJ offers a bit of advice for our listeners.

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...]
