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/

Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info.

Tamara Lee Barrett cut her teeth in the Hunter/Jumper world. A few years ago she could no longer stomach a lot of what she was seeing. Delving into Natural Horsemanship, Positive Reinforcement, and other modalities with the horse's mental wellbeing at the forefront, she started a new path.

Today her training is centered around Connection, Movement, Posture, and Nervous System Regulation. Believing these elements should be woven throughout the horse's environment, care, and training produces remarkable changes in behavior and physical development.

She's an advocate for horse welfare and a fellow podcaster. You can catch her podcast, The Optimized Equine, on all platforms. I was even a guest of hers not too long ago.
