106 Ben Longwell, True West Horsemanship

Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info.Ben Longwell and his wife Natalie own and run True West Horsemanship. They had a base in her native New Zealand and now operate out of their ranch near Pendelton, OR. Ben teaches about traditional Buckaroo Horsemanship and lists the hackamore as his favorite bridle. I feel like I have known Ben for a while, but we actually met face to face for the first time at Ty Evans' Mule Week this past July. Ben has a wealth of knowledge and is a gifted teacher. He's also a family man and a good dude. Ben exhibits one of my favorite human traits in that there's more to him than you might expect. You see a cowboy, but there's a lot more under the surface. If you have the chance to ride with him, take it. Please enjoy this episode where we talk about horses, life, what being a clinician means for family, and a lot more.Thanks to our sponsor, Death Grip Moustache Wax. Use code "AOHPOD" to save 20%.

Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info.Mark Lyon is one of those people I refer to as a horseman's horseman. He's highly skilled and I genuinely enjoy his take on things and the metaphors he uses to get his point across. Mark is on the road more often than not, but has gotten more regular on sharing videos on youtube. I'd highly recommend you subscribe to his channel.He's an interesting blend of old school and new. Mark has a background as a competitive ballroom dancer, as well as a bronc stomper. He regularly trick trains horses and other animals to perfom in entertainment shows. He builds his own props, has fully customized his trailer, and is just plain handy.

102 Ivy Starnes, Ivy's Glide Gait

Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info.Ivy Starnes is a gaited horse clinician. She starts with relaxation and softness and then gets them gaiting. I find her common sense approach to be refreshing as well as her openness and curiosity. She started out with the idea that you could train a gaited horse to gait on a loose rein in a bitless bridle or simple snaffle bit. Ivy has studied natural and classical dressage, trick training, and clicker training. She now combines these methods to help strengthen, supple, and improve your horse’s movement and balance. Clicker training has made it so much fun for her and the horses to go out and work together.You can find Ivy at the following links:https://ivyshorses.com/https://www.facebook.com/IvysHorseshttps://www.youtube.com/@IvyShttps://www.instagram.com/ivys.glide.gait/Thanks to our sponsor, Death Grip Moustache Wax.
