New Zealand Horse advocate and author, Julie Smart joins Barbara O'Brien in a conversation not just about training, but about retraining ourselves to listen, to watch, and to feel the subtle cues that horses give us when trying to communicate. We talk about how spending undemanding time with our horses changes how they feel about and us and can really help build a better, more trusting relationship. We also talk about how horses never stop learning and can be trained at any age with atunement and understanding. Julie recommends books like 'True Horsemanship Through Feel' by Bill Dorrance and Leslie Desmond, and 'Warwick Schiller's Principles of Training'. Julie shares her biggest failure, which involved a horse named Ethel, and how it taught her the importance of not believing what others say about horsemanship. They also talk about fear and the need to acknowledge and respect it, as well as the luckiest thing that has happened to Julie, which is having her mother as a role model.https://www.empathetic-trainer.com/

California Horseman Bryan Neubert reflects with Howard Hale on the impact Bill Dorrance had on his life growing up.
I always enjoy talking with horseman and Bens story is one of a kind. Ben Longwell owns and operates True West Horsemanship, based most of the year in New Zealand. Ben grew up on the Western Slope of Colorado, riding horses and working cattle. After finishing school, he spent much of his time doing day work for different ranches in the area, learning from the experience of the ranchers. He also spent a year working as assistant trainer at a Quarter Horse breeder in Colorado, learning the basics of colt starting and true horsemanship. Much of the next six years was spent in the colt starting & horse training business and his knowledge and experience continued to expand. During this time Ben worked on a 300,000 acre cattle & horse ranch in Wyoming, where he was also involved in conducting horsemanship clinics and demonstrations. Adding to a lifetime of practical equine experience, he is influenced by the methods of such horsemen as Tom & Bill Dorrance, Ray Hunt, and Buck Brannaman and has ridden with Richard Caldwell, Jeff Sanders, Martin Black and Dave Weaver. In 2011, Ben and his wife Natalie moved to her native country of New Zealand and took the opportunity to build a horse training and clinic business. Since then, Ben has been privileged to be a returning Clinician at NZ’s national horse expo seven different years. In 2014 Ben was invited to participate in New Zealand’s first Kaimanawa Stallion Challenge – where trainers were randomly given a Kaimanawa Stallion straight from the wild and competed in 2 stages of competition. Ben has appeared in and written for a number of Equine Magazines, both in New Zealand and internationally, as well as appearing in an episode of Masterclass on Country TV. He also has an Online Video Library that contains a wide range of instructional videos for advancing students’ skills and horsemanship regardless of discipline or breed.

Science and Horse Sense with Maddy Butcher Gray Maddy Butcher Gray knows learning about horses and horsemanship is really a lifelong pursuit. Maddy Butcher Gray is the owner and founder of NickerNews and BestHorsePractices, websites dedicated to horses and horse owners. She is a free-lance journalist, having written for the Boston Globe and The Wall Street Journal. She has covered sports, travel, and breaking news. Now, Maddy Butcher Gray has compiled a book, A Rider's Reader: Exploring Horse Sense, Science, & Sentiment. It is a collection of articles, blog posts, and new writing designed to help the horse and its owner. Along the way you learn about Maddy Butcher Gray's life and her horses. Maddy writes about training issues with Jolene, her mule. She writes about moving to Iowa, then Utah. She writes about the trainers and horsemen she has met along her journey. A Rider's Reader is filled with anecdotes and bits of wisdom from many of the preeminent horsemen and women of our time. The tribute to Tom and Bill Dorrance at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering is writing that is not only useful, but entertaining. The stories other trainers tell about these two are heart warming and inspiring. I think you are going to hear a lot about Evidence Based Horsemanship in the coming years. Maddy Butcher Gray has a whole section in A Rider's Reader dedicated to the topic. Her explanation is clear and easier to understand. As this philosophy becomes more developed, we are going to see a lot more practical information coming to light. Maddy goes into some detail on the work Dr. Stephen Peters and Martin Black have done in this area. Please take a moment to check out Maddy Butcher Gray's NickerNews and BestHorsePractices. I think you will find them useful tools on your road to good horsemanship.
