Whip Crackin'

While we work on improving our studio to produce a better audio podcast, we wanted to offer something in the interim. In February John got an Aussie Stock Whip from Downunder Horsemanship. With the instructional video and a bit of practice, I'm getting to the point where I can consistently crack it. Now, if I am going to crack from the back of my horse, Jessie, I have to work on controlling where it goes.

Enjoy,

Our Friesan Experience

For Ranae's birthday one of her friends arranged for us to ride Friesan horses.  This was a completely new experience for us.  I put a little video together of our time in Norco, CA.

Walkabout Tour and Conversations Around the Barn

This podcast is jammed packed!

Frank Knight's Favorite Poem and Our Kern River Ride

On his visit to California we got to meet up with cowboy poet Frank Knight. We were lucky enough to spend the afternoon with Frank sharing experiences and good conversation. We were able to record his favorite poem.

Then, Ranae and I have a great ride along the Kern River.

Enjoy!

Our First Vidcast - Team Sorting

Okay folks, we're not sure if this will work, but we are going to attempt to publish a short video from our team sorting practice. We were able to capture Ranae's first run where Dusty kicks up and you'll get to see how she sits the ordeal. And, you'll get to see my first run with Jessie.

Like most things we've attempted with this podcast, some things work, some things don't. We don't let that stop us from trying.

We hope you get to see the video. If you prefer to watch it on youtube you can check out my channel at:

Our Team Sorting Video

Our Second Team Sorting Practice

Ranae and I head out for our second team sorting practice. This session was much different thatn the first. There was a lot more energy in the cow, the horses, even the people. We had a good time and you can hear it.

Special note: Look for our first vidcast, a short video of our first practice run. It should be published later today.
