Reckless Korean War Horse Marine Hero  Janet Barrett has written a wonderful account of a Jeju pony "drafted" by the U.S. Marines Fifth Regiment's Recoilless Rifle Platoon. From the racetrack of Korea, Reckless grew into a real-life hero of the Korean War.  On today's show, Janet joins us to share some of the stories about this amazing little horse. We get to know about the background of the men who took a chance on Reckless.  We also gain some insight into how Reckless returned that trust. Janet's has written the book, They Called Her Reckless - A True Story of War, Love and One Extraordinary Horse.  It is a fascinating true story of how a horse bonded with her Marine "herd" to become an integral part in the Battle of Outpost Vegas of the Korean War. Janet not only tells the story of Reckless' war heroics, but she also paints a wonderful portrait of her personality that endeared her to generals, officers,  and enlisted men alike.  The book covers the life of Reckless based on extensive interviews with over 60 Korean War veterans.  The book is a wonderful read.  Janet is a great storyteller and wonderful interview.  More importantly, Janet offers background on the Korean War, sometimes referred to as The Forgotten War. Returning home to Camp Pendleton in California, Reckless attended ceremonies for the Marine Corp.  She continued receiving promotions and reached the rank of Staff Sergeant before her retirement.  A statue of Reckless charging up a hill stands at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Virginia. If you have a soft spot for heartwarming horse stories, you will love the story of Reckless Korean war horse Marine hero. Links for this show: Janet Barrett

You can change a painful story or belief about yourself through reframing Reframing is about: How to take the emotional content and story out and just work with the energy patterns that are there... letting them unfold into something new or different. Which is really taking the human reaction out and allowing for Consciousness to play and evolve. We are the human interface of how Consciousness knows itself. Here are 6 important points about successful reframing 1. Be willing to address that you have an issue. Being honest with ourselves. People can really play around with this. We can easily rationalize and reason, excuse and justify. 2. Recognize that there is a pattern even if you are not aware of it. Denial is powerful. It Helps keep the pattern in place. Conversely we can be very aware of the pattern and associate with it ...thus never changing. 3. Heart Centered Awareness, the Field of Unified Consciousness. Here is where we have the ability to be neutral. 4. If you could notice how your issue is being useful in some way what might that be about? It is keeping you safe in some way. 5. Allow for it to be different. We don’t always have to know the story or specifics. Just about changing the state of awareness that one has been holding it in. This is the open ended question that comes to mind in that moment. 6. Register the change. You feel something different. It is not about thinking something is different. Feel it in your body. You May or may not be able to articulate it. Which is fine. We are working the right brain and not the verbal processor which is left brain. Janet Barrett is a Subtle Energies Empath and Consciousness Educator. Her life has been a fascinating exploration of what it is to be a spiritual being in a human body. Years of illness sharpened her metaphysical skills but only after she learned about Consciousness Technologies did her illness patterns started to change. Coming back from death and learning to enjoy life has led her to understand that as Consciousness, embodied in a human form, we can create real change in our stories of identity and issues. Janet is the cohost of “Conscious Conversations with Joan and Janet” on the CTR network where she shares what she has learned about Being. She leads her listeners into a state of Heart Centered Awareness, the Field of Unified Consciousness and together explores what is within each of us. Using warmth, support, nonjudgment and the state of potential, stuff happens. She appreciates how we each have created our stories of who we are and what life is for each of us and how to shift, transform and transcend when the patterns no longer serve. For over 12 years she has led weekly groups exploring life from the viewpoint of Consciousness and written weekly about her journey with others as they explore Life. She works with clients from around the world by phone and Skype. You can sign up to receive her weekly musings at janetandbeyond.com or reach her at janetb@janetandbeyond.com .

Just a Christmas Quickie It's the 22nd of December and you, like me are probably running around finishing up your Christmas chores and getting ready to relax and enjoy the holiday season with family and friends.  I just wanted to take this opportunity to say "Thanks for Listening".  The Whoa Podcast about Horses and Horsemanship is one of the longest running, independently produced podcasts on iTunes and that's all because of you.  Nowadays, there are literally tens of thousands of podcasts out there - and a quite a few about horses - finding ours is not always the easiest, but you do.  You find and like our Facebook page and, those of you who tweet, follow me on Twitter. We are heard in over 60 different countries.  Thank you so very much.  I know you find this content helpful and I enjoy bringing it to you. We've had a really good year.  If you started listening recently, you may not know that earlier this year we got to talk to the host of the Horse Show Rick Lamb. We've had many trainers on including Martin Black, Justin Mundt, Charles Wilhelm, Denny Watkins, and from the English world, Doug Payne. We've traveled to events and covered the Horsemen's Re-Union in Paso Robles and the Vaquero Heritage Challenge, and the Bakersfield Campdraft.  We've shared our vacation to the home of Doc Bar, the Bar SZ Ranch. We've talked about your horses' immune system and Cowboy Mounted Shooting, health products like the Porta-Grazer, and how to find a good roping horse. We've shared your love of horses by talking about books with authors like Janet Barrett and her story of Reckless, a hero in the Korean War.  And, while it didn't go as I hoped, I got to interview someone I admire - Cowboy Poet Baxter Black.  And, we topped it off with a very candid interview with country music singer Chris Cagle - right from his tour bus no less. I have had a great time travelling and finding stories you would enjoy.  And, I am very excited about 2015.  I have got a bunch of feelers out and podcasts in the works that I hope will really expand the appeal of the show. We started the show more or less as a hobby three years ago to share our love of horses and horsemanship with you.  We wanted it from the perspective of the average horse owner.  Someone struggling to find time, confidence, skills, and knowledge that horse ownership requires.  Trying to find all that in a world that constantly places more and more pressure on that precious time.  As a matter of fact, you haven't heard from my wife Ranae all year. She has a full time job and trying to mesh her schedule, mine, and a prospective guest has not worked at all. When we do get time together we want to share it with our horses.  I know you understand. That means, I write, edit, produce, find guests for the show - the chief cook and bottle washer.  I'm not complaining by any means - I love it.  But, I've got a great audience out there and I'd like to invite you to participate.  If you have a special skill, knowledge, or topic you think we should bring to a wider audience, please, please I invite you to contact me.  I would like to see the show build and reach an even wider audience.  You can find me by email at john@whoapodcast.com So with that we end another year.  Thank you once again for allowing me to share the truly unique bond we share with these wonderful animals.  And, as you're sitting around the fire over the next few days, perhaps sipping something warm and toasty, know that we are wishing you, your family and horses the Merriest of Christmasas and prosperity and health in the coming year.  So, until next time, for Ranae, this is John Harrer saying, no matter how cold it may be out there, go have some fun with your horses.
