Horseman’s Corner Radio

More great information from Horse Trainer, Ricky Quinn. From what I've gathered, the whole program you have there Ricky starts with the halter breaking.

Absolutely. You bring those babies in, you ween them off their mom. First thing we do is toss a little rope around their neck, their foot, but just toss them that rope on there, start and roll the hind quarters in the beginning and allow them all the horses to learn how to come off...

Here's Horse Trainer Ricky Quinn with an infamous question that is asked often.

I get questions all the time, "Ricky, in your opinion what does it take to make a bridal horse?" I just kind of shrug my shoulders now where I am in my life and I'm like I don't know the answer to that. I don't, I mean because if you go and you talk to my friend Buck about it, he's pretty sophisticated in what he's looking for to make that horse a brid...

Once you get to be a cowboy there should be a lot of pride there. You should believe in yourself.  You got to have confidence to give confidence to the horse to be able to move a cow that doesn't want to be moved.  You got to think something of yourself. But sometimes in that world too it can be really hard to change. There's no difference in anywhere. And that change is really, really hard. But some people might try it and say, oh...

We're talking to Ramzi Hughes, Anchor Brand Ranch.

I wanted to ask you about your philosophy of working with horses. What we do are kind of narrow my favorite breeds down to the American Quarter Horse and the regular old mustangs. That's kind of a mixture of what we've got. Those mustangs are tough and they go like crazy and the kids can break them and ride them and use them for ranch horses. But they are not the athlete that an Am...

Now here's an interview with the late Howard Hale and Kansas breeder Gary Kirkhoff.

I've seen some horses that have been drilled so much on the ground that they get to the point doing the same thing over and over where they basically have the handler tuned out. That's dangerous isn't it?

Yeah, that's very dangerous because you need that horse to be looking to you for direction. And when it's kind of zoning you out, it's on the bord...

Well, Kevin, tell me a little bit about your podcast. What's your coverage? I'm just curious.

We're talking to Hugh McLennan, Spirit of the West, Ranch and Radio Show.

The horses and cattle and our western lifestyle and the romance that lives with it. As you know, Dave, it's always been a passion of mine. I just grew up with that. We've been trying to build a small herd of cows and I was driving truck long hours to try and finance that. Starting colts at the same time when I was on the board of the BC Cattlemen's Associatio...

[Brian Hale] So have you ever wanted to get inside your horse's head? Here's Dr. Steve Peters with more.

[Steve Peters] Horses have an optimum range just like humans do of comfort in which they can learn. Now if they're too comfortable they're in a part of their nervous system where they're just not going t...
