Aviva and Stephany catch up on what’s going on – Stephany’s travels, her new baby cows, Aviva has a potential buyer for Ralphie!  

Aviva has an amazing question from Alex about conformation, effort and how that is recognized in a test.  She gives us a lot to think about with her answer – are you riding a 6 mover?  Are you a 6 rider?  What is a good expectation for an average horse, and where are there places that you can shine no matter what?

Mark talks about his background and how he came into the natural horsemanship world. He discusses different ways to think about helping your horse into a better mental state, what he really means when he says pressure, and how even our dressage horses could feel better if we changed our approach a little. It is a fascinating interview with lots of places where we tie his work into dressage examples, so take a listen! Feel free to let us know your thoughts, and if you have further questions for Mark.

Spring has been a whirlwind between the ProRodeo race and fun one-offs like The American Rodeo and Kid Rock's Rock N Rodeo.

In April, the world watched Shane Hanchey and Kincade Henry tie for the win in the 10-man round of The American with a 7.58-second run. The 2013 world champion took the title, however, after a 6.73 in the finals to give Hanchey his second American Rodeo title and $100,000. 

Kid Rock's Rock N Rodeo took Arlington, Texas, by storm for the second year in a row May 17, 2025. When the dust settled, team Jokers--led by legends Joe Beaver and Sid Steiner--took the overall team title with John Douch and Haven Meged to help.
