97 Liberty Cunningham, Trick and Roman Rider Artwork

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.

Liberty Cunningham is only 15 and already traveling the country as one of the most popular entertainment acts on the road. She does trick riding, roman riding, liberty work, bridleless riding, and most recently, aerial silks off of horseback. I've been at a couple of events with her and have been impressed with her ability and skills, but also her as a professional in the industry. We were both recently at an event where a wild winter storm made things very difficult and she handled the challenges better than a few of my adult peers...

She tells us how she started, all the things she does, her only accident that ended up in injury, how she trains, her horses and their training, and more.

So, listen to both the future and a person in a sector of this wide world of horses that we haven't talked about yet.
