Jesse and I sat down to talk about days one and two of a three-day bootcamp clinic he facilitated (and I attended) with De Chapman and Matthew L. Jobe in Fountain, CO. I would highly recommend putting this event on your calendar next year!

I first got talking to Trevor about horses feet at the Tombstone shoot in Arizona and was immediately impressed with his wealth of experience and knowledge as a farrier. Trevor talks about shoeing mounted shooting horses and also the many other hats he wears as the husband of a successful mounted shooter, a father of a mounted shooter, and a mounted shooting competitor himself.

While in Queen Creek at the CMSA Winter Championships, CMSA #1 Jim Rodgers and his wife Lily were kind enough to give me a tour of their mounted shooting memorabilia and shared some of their stories.
