How do you go from working your way up in the horse industry to building one of the most successful horse-sales operations of your own? Clinton sits down with Alan Chappell, owner of Chappell Horse Sales, for a candid conversation about horses, the horse business and the road that led Alan to where he is today.

He talks about the lessons he learned, the people who influenced him and what it took to work his way up in an industry where reputation is earned one horse, one customer and one day at a time.
The conversation also digs into Alan's work today through Chappell Horse Sales and his perspective on buying, selling and evaluating performance horses. What does an experienced horseman see when he looks at a horse? How do you recognize potential? What makes a horse a good investment? And how important is it to find the right match between a horse and its rider?
If you've ever wondered what happens behind the scenes in the performance-horse world, or you're simply a sucker for good stories, you're going to enjoy this one.
