Last year we had the privilege of attending the Best Horse Practices Summit in Durango, Colorado. While we couldn’t make it this year, we wanted to see what they had in store.
Maddy Butcher joins to talk about who will be presenting this year and what they will be talking about. This is a very special event that focuses on scientific evidence designed to inspire you to reach for higher levels of your horsemanship.
Find out more about the Best Horse Practices Summit 2018.
Are You Ready for an Emergency?
One of the presenters at this year’s Summit is Rebecca Gimenez/Husted of Technical Large Animal Rescue.
Rebecca instructs a wide variety of professionals and the public about being prepared for large animal emergencies. She hands out a few tips on things you can do to keep your horse safe.
On a side note, after this interview Ranae and I ran a fire drill to see how long it took us to get the trailer hooked up and our three horses loaded in to our two horse warm blood trailer. We made it in less than 12 minutes on the first run. And, it did uncover some problems and other details we need to work on to improve our preparedness.

Thank you John – looking forward to the Summit in Durango, and REALLY tickled that you actually took the information to heart and PRACTICED loading your horses and TIMED it. I am betting that will be an eye opener for many of your listeners.
Thanks for spreading the word!
The “fire drill” was actually a confidence booster. We knew we did it once and, while there were issues, the fact that we walked through the steps gave us great peace of mind.
While I never thought we had a need for a trailer camera, I took more of your advice and installed a camera. Again, taking an occasional peek at the horses back there was very reassuring. Now, for a temperature gauge and few more safety checks and we’ll be good to go.
