Mrs. Noche Miller thought that I wasn’t giving positive reinforcement training and trick training their just due, so she wanted to come on and offer her perspective. She trains horses and cows to do tricks, owns a Guiness World Record for most tricks performed by a cow in one minute (video in the links) and…

Patrick King is our first guest to come back and be on the podcast for a second time. He’s a Classical Dressage clinician and trainer who also has a background in the more foundational type of horsemanship taught by one of his early mentors, Ray Hunt.Patrick and I talk horses, but a big chunck of…

  I was privileged to present alongside Gillian Higgins at The Masterson Method International Gathering, in Gillian’s home of the United Kingdom, this past April. Her talk was passionate, funny, and well thought out. Her demonstration with horses in the arena was insightful and the painting of the musculoskeletal system on the horse brings understanding…

Ep. 48 Lee McLean, Canadian Horsewoman, Author, and Sidesaddle Aficionado is Live. I’ve been very proud of the content we’ve been producing on the Adult Onset Horsemanship Podcast. That being said, I think this is a pretty special episode that sets a new bar. You really need to listen to this one. Lee has written…

Once you listen to this one, the title will make sense. I was encouraged to talk with Colton by a mutual friend, and I feel like I owe that friend a bottle of something. Colton is a very thoughtful guy with a heart for helping people, but in pragmatic ways. He’s ambitious and driven, but…

  As with several past guests, I met Katrin Silva at the Best Horse Practices Summit last fall. I immediately liked her and could tell within seconds that she was a technical and experienced rider.  She specialized in Classical Dressage, but does still compete. She kicks butt in Western Dressage too, gives lessons, and works…

A prime guest for a prime number, Patrick King is a product of two worlds. He apprenticed under Ray Hunt in his early 20s until Mark Russel brought him into the world of dressage. This might be the highest level and most technical episode we’ve had to date, but I think it will be enlightening…
