Gymnastic Jumping Lines with Lori VanSickel

Lori VanSickel is an eventing and Hunter/Jumper trainer and owner of Flying V Farms. On today's show Lori demonstrates how to use an exercise called gymnastic jumping lines to improve your equitation and your horses athletic ability.  But, before we get into the action, Lori's twelve year old daughter, Kayla, gives me a tour around Flying V Farms.

We also produced a video that more clearly demonstrates the use of gymnastic jumping lines and how to use them correctly.  You can find the video at:  Gymnastic Jumping Lines

A month after recording the podcast, Ranae and I went to Lori for an hour lesson and found it quite useful in helping us with our balance and equitation.  We would love to hear your thoughts.  Feel free to email us at: john@whoapodcast.com

The First US Campdraft Clinic and Competition

The US National Campdraft Association's first clinic and sanctioned competition is in the books and The Whoa Podcast about Horses and Horsemanship was there to cover it!  We grabbed our cameras and microphones and headed to Kiowa, Colorado under the sponsorship of the Australian Stock Horse Society.  The Australian Stock Horse is a relatively need registry here in the States, but the owners that have them brought them to Kiowa. 

 

We speak first with Australian Campdraft Professionals and Clinicians Pete Comiskey and Steven Hart.  Then we get a real feel for the event by interviewing the particpants of the event.  And, because there were so many Aussie saddles there, I found a saddle maker, James Root, to tell me about his custom made saddles.

We would also like to thank the folks who took time to talk with us:  John Thomson, Kiki Pantaze, Paul Johnson, kellee Campbell, Linda Hingst, Blake Hingst, Tony Navarra, and James Roots.

 

 

Enjoy!
