Appalachian Trainer Faceoff: Special Edition

This is not our typical podcast so if that's what you're looking for you'll have to wait until next Tuesday morning.

John went to the Appalachian Trainer Faceoff that is put on by The Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue. In this event trainers from all over the country show up to the rescue farm and they choose through a drawing of sorts a horse that has not been handled. They then bring these horses home with them to train them for 100 days. During the process they have many meet ups and fun events like trail rides and camping out together that helps build bonds and friendships with other trainers and helps to get their horses ready to compete against each other for the title of ATFO champion. With two divisions (professional and amateur) and world class equestrians like Pat Roberts, Carl Bledsoe, Patrick King and Michael Lyons as the judges this is a serious competition between the trainers and still they all work together for the betterment of the horses involved.

John was able to sit down with all 4 judges and numerous trainers including the two Champions, professional champion Patrick Sullivan and amateur champion Maribeth Harrell. Congrats to both of you on your much deserved wins this year!

Sit back and listen to what big things are happening in the heart of Appalachia for horses in need.
