If you don't laugh during this episode, this podcast isn't for you. 

Craig Cunningham is:

1. Stunning to look at (I was so lucky to stare at him for an hour...creepy?)

2. A HUGE part of the Pro Horseman Academy

3. An accomplished Amateur exhibitor

4. HYSTERICALLY funny!

He and I talk about why horse girls are soooo attracted to horse trainers, he wants to know if its a chemical thing or what!? And he declared that if there were to be another World War, the L3 Amateur Showmanship girls (and we can include Eric Mendrysa + Dan Carlson) would EASILY be able to handle the front lines and take down any opposing army,

Also, we do a deep dive into what ACTUALLY happens at the Pro Horseman Academy.  I had so many questions as to what concerns our beloved trainers have and what types of things they go over during that workshop. You'll be amazed to hear what he has to say.

Finally, we giggle and wheeze 5000x during this podcast and I hope you do too!

Text the show! I absolutely LOVE your feedback.

GET INVOLVED.

There, I said it. And I'll say it again. The AQHA Convention is all about listening to its members and making thoroughly thought-out decisions on how to improve the organization and enhance the member experience.

I am on the Amateur Committee and have been to the convention 2x. I have been blown away each time I am there...not ONLY do we vote on rule change proposals, but we hear from so many different types of people on how to make being a member of AQHA better.

Here is my short and sweet overview of the AQHA Convention :)

THE Lindsey James took time out of her incredibly busy schedule to chat with me about her rise to FAME in the fashion industry.

We have all admired her show clothing designs for the past 20 years, and now she has begun designing for some of the most famous people in the WORLD!! 

Not only is she talented, but she is unbelievably humble and just a crazy horse girl like the rest of us. 

From how she got her first pony to working with Beyonce...what a wild ride, LITERALLY. I had so so much fun talking with her and I hope you all love hearing her story.

I couldn't get enough of her and now I want to hop on a plane and go hang out with her and all of her baby horses in California.

Make sure you go follow her on social media: @lindseyjamesshowclothing

If you think you will hear a lot from Kyle... you won't LOL I do most of the talking for the two of us in every situation.  But, I think he likes it that way.

Although a man of few words, when he does talk- it's a great convo! He's a farrier, father, veteran, and aspiring pilot!

We chat about our beginning and funny stories. I ask him how much he thinks stuff costs (horse stuff), and we round out the podcast with a fun Couples' Question Game.

what do you get when you put 3 DIY amateurs in a room that ALL won the Congress in the Showmanship!?!?

A DAMN GOOD podcast, thats what!

I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Taylor Wheaton (Congress Champ L1 Am SMS 2019 AND she won it again in 2021!!) and Taylor Foster (Congress Champ Amateur SMS 2024) who are both do-it-yourself amateurs that have won one of the most coveted awards in any breed show!

All three of us have brought home trophies as DIY'rs in that class... want to know how we did it?! You have to listen.

We talk about the hardships, the funny stuff and how we made this goal a reality.  You'll be surprised to hear it wasn't all about how much money we spent.

You guys... I've been doing it wrong this whole time! Mitch schooled me on how to properly groom my horse and look our best for the Halter classes. Did you know you aren't supposed to use a curry comb in a circular motion?! Blew my mind!

Form to Function is something Mitch talks about A LOT. No matter what class you want to show, the structure of the horse is the #1 priority. Not dropping off behind the wither was something he said first: a good topline is a priority. 

We talk breeding, showing, grooming and how to be your best in the halter pen.

Even if you only show in the performance halter to secure your chances for winning an all-around award ... this podcast is SUPER helpful.  I know I learned a TON!

Thanks Mitch!

It always a GOOD time when you get to hang out with Julian Harris. He is an accomplished AQHA and USEF horse trainer who was legit born into this industry...

His mom is an Olympic dressage rider, and his father is an Argentinian GOD of an equestrian (ok, some of that is exaggerated)...but he was born for greatness based on his bloodlines....also- HOTT.

If you know Julian, you know he is not afraid to speak his mind. But whats also super cool about him is- when speaking his mind, its so eloquently put. He's educated, well-spoken, and so passionate. 

In this episode, we talked about so much...we sat ringside at the FL Gulf Coast show, and we were "interrupted" a few times by people riding by.  So, bear with this episode as far as the interruptions go. There is so much in here that you won't want to miss a minute!

Don't forget you can text the show, call the TrotLine (‪484) 246-6568‬ and we will chat about whatever you want to chat about!!

You guys loved him so much before so, I brought him back!

And I let him criticize me....well, thats his job! Pierre and I reviewed my world show patterns and how the judges REALLY think while we are showing. Did you know they can tell when we are "faking" it?! They also know when we lose the connection with our horse.... CRAZY! I thought they just cared about who's who, etc (JK JK)


Anyways, he also lets us know his pet peeves as a judge, how to get the BIG scores and what they are looking for in showmanship, equitation and horsemanship.


This is a long one. But you won't want to miss a MINUTE. Also, the full video will be on youtube so you can see the exact moments that we are addressing during my patterns.
