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. 44 Mark Lyon Clinician and Traveling Colt Starter
Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info.
Mark Lyon has been there, done that, got the t-shirt, and wore out the t-shirt. I really enjoy getting to talk with fellow horsemen/women that specialize in colt starting. Especially, when they also start a variety of breeds for a variety of disciplines, like I do. When Mark and I had our feeling each other out pre-call, I knew immediately that we were going to have a cool conversation.
Mark's been out there in the trenches for most of his life. He's been a traveling colt starter and makes his rounds across the country, going back to the same places, because once you've seen him do his thing, anyone would recognize that he knows his stuff.
I always aim for these conversations to be like we are sitting on a back porch at sunset, drinking a beverage, watching a fire and talking horses. I think you'll almost be able to hear the fire crackling in the background on this one. If you've been particularly enjoying the episodes where we talk horses, training, philosophy, and our views of the industry, this one's for you.
I generally always leave conversations with guests by saying that I hope we get to ride together somewhere down the road. That's as true with Mark Lyon as it's ever been. I think he and I would be two peas in a pod.
While he does have a truly epic waxed up handle bar mustache, Mark doesn't have much social media, but his Youtube channel is well worth your time. He does post on Facebook some too, and between our interview and this release of the audio, he's gotten a website up.
