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/

"Van Hargis has been called one of today’s most versatile horsemen, a designation that reflects a lifetime devoted to learning-and communicating-the elements of superior horsemanship as applied in a variety of disciplines."
Van is a veteran horse trainer, clinician, and expo presenter. He's been all over the world giving clinics and doing demonstrations and is an eloquent speaker who gets his point across effectively. His mission is to educate, motivate, inspire, and entertain, through superior horsemanship and humanship, those involved in or aspiring to be involved in the horse industry.
I've considered him a friend for a decade and am embarrassed it has taken me this long to get him on the podcast.
He's lead a colorful life, having been a college football player, his first customer was Billy Cook's wife, and he's even given clinics alongside the likes of Jack Brainard. Van's recently written a book called "The Horse is My Teacher" and has his ranch set up for people to spend long term stints with him learning about horses and horsemanship.
Check him out and have a listen.
