Hi Les,

I just want to say thanks for all your help. Maybe you will remember me from the clinic you did in Steamboat Springs, Colorado several years ago. I rode a big goosey sorrel gelding, and we probably weren’t the most “likely to succeed” pair you ever worked with. I about wore out the “Five Easy Pieces”, but TJ got it together as a result of your clinic. He showed successfully in AQHA and open shows in WP, HMS and HUS.

I started my 2 year old last year utilizing what I learned from your clinic. She came along really well winning a WP futurity as a 2 year old, and is showing AQHA successfully this year. She has good basics, a nice turnaround and lead changes as a result of what I learned at your clinic. We will be starting Western Riding next year. Unfortunately, I will miss your clinic in Cheyenne this year because we will be at the Regional show in Rapid City. Your clinics are the greatest and I tell everyone that!!!!!!!

Mr Vogt,
This is my first trip to your site. I have enjoyed it. I took a look at your preview for Cowhorse U, and have a question or two. First, are there exercises that do not have to be performed in an arena? I start my own colts but have only a small corral. Most of their time is spent in the woods, gun fire and light cattle work, my uncle has a few cows, not my own. I would really like to get better. My horses are used regularly by myself as well as most of my family, ages four and up. Oh, what is your opinon of the Zan Parr Bar family of horses, and what about a cross on Jackie Bee? Thank you for your time.
Kenneth

” Its in the neck, ” LoL

I saw one of those Angora bridles somewhere or other. I laughed too…thought it was something a freestyle reiner dreamed up. I figure if you put it on a horse he’d look like Moe from the Three Stooges. Oh well, probably help out the market for goat herders.

But the fact that you sold out on silver bits gives proof that the traditional stuff will always be in demand.

Les,

Glad to here that your new year is off to a great start. As is mine and Patricia’s.

It’s been awhile since I have seen you and Kay.

Funny thing, I was reading your other blog about roping. That palamino gelding I have is coming around to being a pretty nice heel horse. Got a few lead steers for the winter and we are having a blast.

Les, I was let down to hear your response on the Music Mount bloodline. I am a huge Music Mount fan and a huge fan of yours as well. I’ve got a 4th generation Music Mount 3-yr old colt that I am starting (working cow) I’ve got pretty big hopes for him. Got a 2-yr old filly that I just bought (Shining Spark/Catalena Command) I bought her off of her pedigree by the way. Can you tell me what you didn’t like about the Music Mounts? I’ve been told by trainers that you either love them or hate them. I’ve ridden Music Mounts all of my life. I’d sure love to hear back from you. Sabrina in Montana

Les,
First of all, I want to thank you for the CowhorseU Program. It’s amazing to see how the horses perform better and better by using your tips!
As I come from Germany, I’m very interested in your clinic in Sweden. Could you tell me, who is hosting the clinic? Or is it booked up, yet?

Comment on So where did Les Vogt go? by Guillermo

Les,

If I was very impressed with the first edition of CowhorseU, I am left even more impressed with the second!

You have outdone yourself! I am speechless.

My horses and I are in debt to you. Thanks.

It’s nice to hear that you think Team Roping is good for horses. I was hoping it would be. Sometime I wonder if it stresses them out or if they really enjoy it. My buddy’s horse seems like he enjoys it. His horse, Shadow, is one of those gentle giants, completely calm and sweet, UNTIL he’s gets to the team roping arena. Then he’s dancing around the second you get him out of the trailer.

It’s interesting how well Shadow knows his job. He dances until he gets into the box. Then he holds steady until its time to explode out after that steer. I think he digs the competition as much as his owner does.

Question if you have time: On the same horse, do you use the same bit for team roping that you do for reining, or do you switch bits?

Glad you’re getting some time in the snow!
