Charles Wilhelm Ultimate Horse Challenge

Charles Wilhelm Ultimate Super Horse Challenge

Episode #026

Charles Wilhelm has always believed in a versatile horse.  A horse should be strong in the ring, but also quiet enough to go on a trail ride.  A horse safe enough for your child to ride.  A horse that can play with cows and is comfortable with a rope.  A horse that will not spook if your hat gets blown off.  A horse that you can enjoy in the roping arena or on a parade.

Charles Wilhelm believes in a balance and responsive horse.  Charles believes the horse should be able to pick up the correct lead easily. Charles Wilhelm training improves the rider as well by helping the rider become more balance and responsive to the horse.  Charles Wilhelm Training clinics are fun and informative.

Now, Charles Wilhelm has developed a competition where riders can put their skills to the test.  This year at the Western States Horse Expo in Sacramento. The event will take place over three days and each day there is an elimination.

Charles Wilhelm knows what he's talking about.  He's written for many of the horse magazines, has a book, Building Your Dream Horse, and has a show on HRTV.

Cowboy Mounted Shooting

Cowboy Mounted Shooting

Episode #027

What could be more fun the horses, guns, and balloons?  On this episode of the Whoa Podcast we explore Cowboy Mounted Shooting.   Essentially it is a rider wearing a holstered firearm riding through a course.  On the course are some balloons usually on stakes.  The rider must negotiate the course as fast as possible shooting the balloons.  As you can imagine, cowboy mounted shooting takes a broke horse and a steady hand.  We talk to Cathy and Johnnie Hendricks of the Roy Rogers Rangers, a shooting club in Southern California.  Cathy and Johnnie walk us through the basics of cowboy mounted shooting, the organization that runs competitions, and what you can expect at a competition.

Then we talk to Kenny Lawson of the Silver Dollar Ranch.  Kenny was one of the horsemen at the Horsemen's Re-Union.  We caught him in the autograph hall.  It's a little noisy, but Kenny has a lot of good information.  Kenny talks about how you get your horse used to the course and the use and safety of gun handling.  Kenny offers clinics on cowboy mounted shooting on a regular basis.

Evidence Based Horsemanship with Martin Black

Evidence Based Horsemanship with Martin Black

Episode #025

Evidence Based Horsemanship

Have you ever wondered if there was a good time to train on your horse?  If so, I think you will enjoy this podcast about Evidence Based Horsemanship.  At the recent Horseman's Re-Union in Paso Robles, Ca,  I caught up with clinician and horse trainer Martin Black.  Martin has co-authored a book with on this subject with Dr. Stephen Peters.  While I have not read the book, other than the excerpts on Amazon, it is apparent that there are two aspects to this concept.  One is the scientific physiology the horse goes through in the training process.  I hope to get into the details of this with Dr. Peters in a future podcast.

The other side of the concept is the practical, hands-on, nuts and bolts of what's happening in the training process from a highly experienced trainer - Martin Black.  Martin walks us through a couple of examples I witnessed on evidence based horsemanship that happened during the colt starting process.  He also goes into how this understanding of what the horse is going through while in learning mode, can help you achieve better results with your horse.  Evidence based horsemanship looks at the horse from a completely different angle.  When you learn the mechanics of the learning process, you can become more efficient with it.

Harris Stage Lines

Wandering around the Mid-State Fairgrounds checking out the vendors and exhibits, I came across Tommy Harris.  Tom owns Harris Stage Lines and owns a real stagecoach.  It's beautiful!  He also has a chuck wagon.  Tommy talks to us about the history of the old west and what an important role these wagons played in our countries expansion.  You also get a little of the sounds of the cowboy cookout music going on right next to Tommy's exhibit.
