Darrell Gardner's Horsemanship was founded upon four principles: 

Showing Your Horse Love 

By expressing love to your horse it helps to build a good relationship and strong bond. This will lead to a better response from your horse. 

Gaining Respect 

If you don't have respect on the ground, you won't have it on the saddle. Respect is an essential part of horsemanship and it begins with good ground manners 

Teaching Obedience 

Obedience comes with consistent training. This teaches your horse what you expect and how to quickly respond to the cues given. 

Loyalty between the horse and trainer 

It all begins with gaining trust. Your initial approach is extremely important. It takes patience and time to get your horse to gain faith in you.

Tonight's Guest: Sandra Wyckoff of Houston Texas. Sandra has a degree in Social Work/minor in Gerontology from Jacksonville State University. In 2012 she was chosen for the My Black Beautiful Beautiful national campaign ad by Proctor & Gamble. In her early 40's and the prime of her life, she took notice of the overwhelming reaction to her youthful looks and positive spirit as she was the oldest woman selected for the campaign. The idea of celebrating the greatness of other women, specifically the 40 year old, inspired Sandra; and within the ensuing year she gave birth to 40z Rock. 40z Rock is for the woman who is not afraid of her 40's, and embraces the transition freely, with style and class. These women are sexy, accomplished and comfortable in the skin they're in.  These women focus not only on herself, but her community as well.  Sandra is all about reclaiming your value and upping the ante for what women are doing in their community, through continued assistance to organizations such as: The American Heart Association to raise Heart Disease Awareness, Sisters Network African American Breast Cancer Walk, Susan G. Komen Cancer Walk, Habitat for Humanity, The Ballard House for out of state cancer patients and families, Neuhaus Educational Center adult literacy scholarships, Wheeler Ave Annual Golf Tournament benefiting The Homeless No More Initiatives and Kids Meals on Wheels to ensure kids don't go hungry during the summer months. Sandra believes too many women fall into the trap of believing some of the old-age stigma's and stereotypes, such as "40 is downhill for your looks, your relevance, or your purpose". She believes there is no question about the importance of 40z Rock because it mirrors and applauds these women for being as fabulous at 40 than ever before!

Real People, Real Life, Real Answers: Real Life Bible Study with Pastor A F Riggins focuses on spiritual growth and encourages every Christian to cultivate and nurture his or her relationship with God through Christ rather than focusing primarily on religious traditions and arguments. When we strengthen that relationship we are empowered to actively apply what we hear and learn at church on Sunday to our daily lives, our actions, choices, and perspectives, and confidently walk the walk on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and every day of the week! 

Let the commitment to live that life begin right here, right now with Real People, Real Life, and Real Answers: Real Life Bible Study with Pastor A.F. Riggins! Grab your Bible and join us LIVE!

In honor and celebration of Black History Month, tonight's Rap It Up LIVE will be a rebroadcast of theRev. Martin Luther King Jr. edition of Rap It Up LIVE, which originally aired on January 17, 2016.

While we can see his legacy shining on in many ways today, we also see and experience the consequences of his absence. Some are rising up to hold this nation accountable for failures to hold true to its promises. We must ask ourselves:Are WE living The Dream?Where is the vision of our youth?  Take in the words of the man who had a light so bright he continues to be a beacon of hope today.
