Adult Onset Horsemanship
An informal and candid podcast discussing real world horsemanship with respected and experienced experts. Daniel is a guy who is good with horses. He has a background in cutting where he was predominantly involved in developing aged event horses and started over 1000 head of colts, many of whom went on to win lots of cash. A very bad horse wreck at a horse show, involving his niece, prompted him to begin working with people and showing them a no BS version of how to not get killed by their horses. He's since worked with thousands more horses and people from varying disciplines and breeds including many last chance problem horses. In addition to his general horsemanship knowledge he is an internationally known expert on bits and how and why they function. He has a well rounded knowledge base of horsemanship and is working hard at his communication skills with his own species. His wife is a firm believer that he really likes the sound of his own voice and that is the real reason he's started this podcast.http://dauphinhorsemanship.com/

Ep. 64 Q&A with Nicole Shoup
Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info.
I do like the format of doing Q&As, but it does seem awkward at times to just be droning on by myself for an hour. So, Nicole has agreed to help me do these occasionally. Please let me know how you like these.
Nicole is a trainer in her own right. She also teaches Horsemanship Classes at The Ohio State University, and is a Board Member of the Best Horse Practices Summit.
In this episode we talk about:
- Desensitization, spooking, threshold, timing, building rapport
- What to do if you are riding a horse that sees something scary and goes frozen on you
- Using other horses to help a green horse build confidence
- Being important to your horse and fully having their attention
- Tom Thumb bits, unbalanced horses with over developed muscle groups
- Backing up to a snaffle if needed
- A phenomenal exercise to help get a resistant horse to soften mentally
- Proud cut horses and stallion management
