Sarah Donahue - Ranch Riding

Hello, and welcome to the horseman's Corner. I'm Brian Hale, sitting in for Howard. We'll have our host, Nelseena Lehmann and our guest Sarah Donohue on right after this from Howard. I'd like to invite you to visit the website that we have for the horseman, that's horseman's corner. Good place to advertise, good place to go if you're looking for horse information, that's horsemancorner.com. Okay, NelsonA, tell our listeners who we have today. I have with me today Sarah Donohue from Wakita, Oklahoma. You met Sarah Donohue on an earlier episode of the horseman's Corner today. NelsonA continues that conversation on the different types of horses that she's ridden as well as how she got involved in ranch riding. Here's. Sarah Donahue. Let's listen in.

I wanted something to show and the rainers, if you're not keeping them fit on a regular basis and trying to go back into the raining for just an occasional show or two, it gets a little difficult at times. The ranch riding was a perfect mix for gelding that had been shown a lot, especially in the raining where they start to anticipate. It was able to help me keep his mind fresh and get myself back into chauffin, which is something that I was dying to do while I was in college. So that's kind of how I got into the ranch riding, because you're taking that ranch horse, something that we'd actually use and putting it in the confines of a show pen and evaluating how well does this horse guide? Does it transition well? What kind of gate does it have? Is that something that you really want to go gather cattle on all day? Or is it something you're just trying to get through a pattern with?

That was Sarah Donohue on the horseman's corner with our host. And once again, a big thank you to our new host, Nelseena Lehmann. That's going to do it for this edition of the Horseman's corner, but there's more on the web at horseman's corner. Thanks again for listening and may God bless. I'm Brian Hale.
