  • 2025 Road To The Horse

    Amazing job! The first time you got invited to the road to the horse, and you made the final four if that doesn’t say volumes about your program, I don’t know what else would. Absolutely love your podcast.

  • I love this podcast

    What a great point of view on so many interesting and important topics! These training podcasts have had a tremendous effect on my horsemanship, since I live too far away to attend any of the in person clinics. These truly have helped me become a better rider overall. Thank you Phil!
