Tuesday's Podcast with Frank Knight

Frank Knight - Christian Cowboy Poet

On today's show we interview No Worries Club member Frank Knight.  Frank is a Christian Cowboy poet and is using the Method as he works through the Fundamentals Series with two horses. 

We split this interview into two parts.  Today in Part One Frank reads his ode to Downunder Fundamentals.  Poetry is much more powerful when you hear it and hearing it from the person who wrote it is even more powerful.  Frank nails this reading for us and we think you'll likely replay it a couple of times.  We're sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.

Ranae and I also work through the Drawing to a Stop from the trot.  Both of us are finding it difficult to describe these exercises over the podcast.  We hope to improve on our powers of communication.

Our First Interview

Things you'll discover on today's podcast: I'm no Larry King when it comes to interviewing people. We did get a chance to speak with No Worries Club Member, Kris Norris from North Carolina before she heads out to the first Walkabout Tour of 2012 in Perry, GA. We talk about her experiences with the Downunder Horsemanship Method and how it has helped her horses. For our first interview we think the sound came out okay. We still need to tweak the knobs a bit.

We also, talk about giving your horse a job to do on the trail and how we converted the kid's basketball game of H-O-R-S-E to accomplish the task Ranae had some time to Spring Clean her saddle. We'll tell you our technique and what she found on her saddle when she gave it a deep cleaning.

Leads and Serpentines

No rain in California means it's beautiful weather to ride. We kick off the weekend focusing on Leads and Serpentines. First, we watch the DVD lessons. (Our horses hate it when we do that.) Then we head out for the ride and help each other try to get the exercises to an acceptable level. The Serpentine Exercise is a supple-ing exercise and our problems with it demonstrated how much more work our horses need doing this kind of exercise. The Leads Exercise is just plain fun to do because we get to lope. Hope you get a chance to ride this weekend. John & Ranae Listen to the podcast and see how they did: Leads & Serpentines

We've added a feature called "Problems We Used to Have" and you'll get an update on Ranae's trailering problem. There's Downunder Horsemanship News with an update from the latest No Worries Club Journal, and you'll get health update, along with a question from the mailbag.
