Welcome to the first of a series of interviews with the people who shaped me. I come from generations of horse people. Today, you meet my Mom Keitha, and my Dad Chuck, and get to know some of the stories that shaped them. Listen-in, for a talk at my kitchen table with my parents to hear us discuss:
* The impetus for my Dad becoming a veterinarian
“It made me want to find a way to do it better. It was my first inspiration to look at veterinary medicine as a choice.
* Our definition of Horsecraft, and why we came to that term after wanting to take the gender bias out of ‘horsemanship’.
* We talk about the history of Three Day Eventing, the sport I pursued with a single minded passion to the International level, which came from warcraft and testing the readiness of Cavalry Officers and their mounts.
* My Dad talks about Xenophon, the Godfather of Horsecraft
* The evolution of Eventing from Military test of preparedness, to sport and recreation
* The evolution of the use of horses over the centuries from horsepower to industrialization
* The lost generation of Horsecraft, now that it is not passed generation-to-generation
* The importance of attunement, whether it is more accessible to women because of our conditioning and whether that is ‘woo-woo’
* Hear me tell a story of defying Jack LeGoff in a terrible version of his French accent!
* A funny story about Suzie Maloney, our hero and personal hygiene
