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/

Marcelo is the fourth generation of a family of successful ridersHe won various awards early in his show career in Show Jumping, Rodeo Chileno (Chilean cow horse) and Chilean reining.
He began his western career in Australia at the age of 15 by starting colts and competing in both youth and open cutting shows. It was there that he learned the “horse language” from Maureen Rogers at Just Crackin´s Quarter Horse Stud. Marcelo credits the “land down under” for starting his life-long journey of learning natural horsemanship.
His unquenching thirst for horse knowledge took him to several clinics from World Class horsemen such as Jeff Johnson (AUS) Chico Ramirez (MX), Doug Milholland (USA), Jango Salgado (BRA), Joe Heyes (USA), Greg Darnall (USA), Leonardo Feitosa (BRA), and more, but it was in Arizona under Al Dunning's advice and mentoring when he decides to focus on western disciplines, beginning on the Reining sport to start his route as a world class horseman.
He qualified for the 2014 World Equestrian Games in his first year as a pro on Michelita Esperto, a horse bred by his grandfather Manuel Recart and later on, was transitioned to FEI Reining by Marcelo.
To deepen his knowledge in the western and english industries, Marcelo went to improve himself in Europe. In 2017 he returned to Chile with the goal of selecting one purebred Chilean horse and training it to qualify for the 2018 WEG.
2018 was a very memorable year for Marcelo since he qualified for second time to the Chilean National Reining Team, but also because he sat the new Chilean National Reining Record riding the selected Chilean Stud “Lil Rockstar’’ while reaching the #1 position at the early 2018 FEI Reining World Rankings.
2019 Marcelo moved to America and had his first NRHA Earnings in Novice Horse Reining Classes at the 2018 NRBC’s & NRHA Derby riding under the coaching of his former boss, NRHA Milton Dollar Rider, Todd Sommers. Same year, Marcelo and Little Rockstar became KRHA Novice Horse Open year end Champions.
In 2020, Marcelo finished his second year in the US being the Year End Multi-Open Champion at the Central Plains Reining Horse Association and getting certified as a Trainer by his mentor Al Dunning.
2022 was a great year for our program, winning the IALHA Open Masters level 7 in the WORKING EQUITATION as the only masters level in that event on the pure bred Chilean stud Lil’ Rockstar.
He’s also had NRCHA earnings and was crowned the the 2022 season as AZRCHA OPEN HACKAMORE CHAMPION and the 3yo ApHC Cowhorse Incentive Champion and Junior Cowhorse Res. World Champion riding at the 2023 ApHC Worlds Show.
