The Whoa Podcast about Horses and Horsemanship

What if there were a colt starting competition that wasn't really a competition? What if there were 20 of the best horsemen/women from around the world who got together to start colts just like they would if they were on their own ranch? What if YOU could watch close up and personal?

On this week's show we speak with Martin Black, one of the producers of The Horsemen's Re-Union where these "What if's" turn into reality.  Martin tells us about this unique competition going on April 15th-20th on the Central Coast of California at the Mid-State Fairgrounds in Paso Robles.  You can see some of your favorite horsemen and clinicians start two colts each over a five day period.  You get to see how colt starting was meant to be.

Included in the event are a concert and dinner loaded with lots of entertainment.

The are a wide variety of ticket packages available.  For tickets and more information check out the Horsemen's Reunion website and you can find them on Facebook to get updates on the schedule.

On today's show we have a fun and interesting conversation about Australian Stock Horses with John Thomson of Brumby's Run.  He tells about the breed, its history but much much more.  We learn about the special temperment and good mind these stout horses have and which disciplines they may be best suited for.

For more information on John's ranch and the horses he has for sale check out - Brumby's Run or http://www.australianstockhorsesusa.com/

If you have not stopped by the new website, we would love your input.  Check it out at Whoa Podcast.  And email us at [email protected].

Thanks for listening,

We've changed our name.  We are now known as the Whoa Podcast.  We did this for basically two reasons.  First, too many folks thought we were affiliated with Downunder Horsemanship the Company.  We are not.  And, while we firmly believe in the Method as a valuable training tool in horses and still use it for our horses, we felt it better to end the confusion.  Second, we can now invite guests from other areas of natural horsemanship on to the show.

We also built a website that is exclusive to the podcast, WhoaPodcast.com.  You can email us questions and comments, find the latest podcasts, and browse through all our YouTube videos.  We hope you will find it valuable and will participate in the podcast.

We have a new Facebook page, WhoaPodcast and a new Twitter page, also Whoa Podcast and we hope you connect with us there as well.

We also recap the great year we had in 2012 and give you a glimpse at what's in store for 2013.  Thanks for listening!

On today's episode we have a fresh conversation with Dr. Smith of Gomers, Inc.  You remember Gomers, they make the product Karbo Combo and Epic Cl.  Dr. Smith talks to us about colic and how Karbo can improve your horse's chances of never getting it again.

And, there are some changes in the air.  We are completely redesigning our website to be the one-stop shop for our podcast.

Thanks for listening everyone.  We really appreciate it.  Stay in touch at 206-426-6484, follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook, or email us at [email protected]

Enjoy!

Thanks for downloading the podcast everyone.  We are hoping to interview Dr. Smith of Gomers again this week.  You remember him.  He has been a veterinarian for over 60 years and formualted Karb Combo.  In preparing for the upcoming interview I revisited my first conversation with Dr. Smith.  It was amazing how he overcame my poor interviewing skills and was still able to layout some very informative, easy-to-understand information on how Karbo works.  It was so good, we decided to run it again.

If you have any questions for the new interview, get them to us quickly at 206-426-6484 or email them to [email protected]

Again, thanks for all the wonderful support!

Remember the conversation we had with Dr. Smith of Gomers, Inc. the makers of Karbo Combo?  Well, we've been using Karbo Combo for awhile now and want to report to you the latest results of our horses fecal egg counts.

We also explore more about the transition to the Tom Thumb bit and tell you how to stay motivated when the temperatures soar.

We have all that and a little more.
