  • Wonderful Podcast!

    Hi Ben and Jo, your podcast is wonderful! I know of Buck, Mary and Reata through my sisters Johanna Redmond and Jay Ohaco, who’ve been attending Buck’s clinics for over 20 years. (I rode horses myself for 20 years starting at a kid, before an illness rendered me physically disabled). I feel like I have such a greater appreciation for Buck’s work with horses seeing how it has changed not only my sister’s views on colt starting and gentle horsemanship, but that of my own as well. Watching Buck’s d... more

  • Charlotte Dujardin Podcast

    Terrible podcast! Normally I like your podcast but this episode really showed another side and of you. The video showed a horse being whipped with a lunge whip - totally inappropriate. The fact that you didn’t have stronger words for her actions tells me that I would never let you near my horses, let alone train them. You are most worried about being “cancelled” than being real about horse abuse. Really disappointed in you!

  • Drugs is the difference with nrha

    The difference with NRHA is they allow drugs in competition. Sedivet it look up. Drugs and abuse it’s all about the dollars . The funny thing is they also charge for drug testing 😂I have never seen drug testers at any of there shows. Maybe the RFM.

  • Great Variety with Equestrian Base

    I cannot recall how I stumbled upon On The Move Podcast, but I’m very thankful I did. All of the guests have some sort of equestrian base or background, but the variety in their experience, work and lives is vast.

    You have big names, like the Brannamans and Dr. Deb Bennet. I loved the interviews of people from my home state of Wyoming, particularly Skye Clark and Stephen Yellowtail. (Well, Stephen is technically in Montana, but he’s just over the border from my hometown of Sheridan, so I c... more
