Adult Onset Horsemanship
An informal and candid podcast discussing real world horsemanship with respected and experienced experts. Daniel is a guy who is good with horses. He has a background in cutting where he was predominantly involved in developing aged event horses and started over 1000 head of colts, many of whom went on to win lots of cash. A very bad horse wreck at a horse show, involving his niece, prompted him to begin working with people and showing them a no BS version of how to not get killed by their horses. He's since worked with thousands more horses and people from varying disciplines and breeds including many last chance problem horses. In addition to his general horsemanship knowledge he is an internationally known expert on bits and how and why they function. He has a well rounded knowledge base of horsemanship and is working hard at his communication skills with his own species. His wife is a firm believer that he really likes the sound of his own voice and that is the real reason he's started this podcast.http://dauphinhorsemanship.com/

Ep. 32 Mike Kevil
Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info.
Join me as I fulfill a wish and have a very satisfying conversation with one of my first heroes in this business. Mike Kevil has worked with or for all of the legends. He was one of the first guys to come out with a colt starting book and video for Western Horseman. That video was fairly influential on me in my early days of learning this stuff. He's started thousands of prospects and loads of winners. He's also been a long time head of judges for Road to the Horse. I know his name isn't as well known as some, but, trust me, he belongs on any list of highly influential horsemen of the last century. Mike is what you'd call a horseman's horseman.
We have a very nice conversation that lasts over 3 hours. You get it in just under that due to my judicious editing. We go over how his book and video came about, current trends, learning theory and behavioral conditioning, brain science, fishing, legends of the business, fun stories, and a whole lot more.
Mike doesn't do social media stuff, but here's his website.
