Ray Hunt

And, man, you know, some of the guys didn't appreciate it, I don't think, as much.

But, you know, we had guys in there like – Uh, Pat Pirelli, Ray Hunt, uh, Mike Bridges, uh, all those good, good horsemen.

They come here and had free, you know, it was free to us.

We didn't have to pay a dime.

Okay.

But yeah, so I, along my journey, I landed sort of an apprenticeship opportunity with a horseman named Ray Hunt, who's pretty popular on the western horsemanship side of things.

I've heard of Ray Hunt, absolutely.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, so you-

Exactly

... you got to Ray Hunt, and-

He was shot down over Iran, broke his back, broke his arm, shattered his shoulder at impact.

It was destroyed, as Ray Hunt would say.

When he hit the ground, it destroyed his shoulder.

So obviously, badly injured, stranded in a valley, surrounded by cliffs.

Meaning you have trainers that are following the natural horsemanship methodology.

I like Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt and the style of get back with nature and pressure and release the pressure and try to bond with the horse in the appropriate way.

So if people are using that methodology, then you can go universally anywhere in the horse industry following that and get a lot done with horses.

If you're following the wrong methodology, then anywhere you go, any competition, you're going to find problems.

Publishing went all Satan all the time.

There was the Satan Sleuth series by Michael Avalone, Satan's Daughter by Ray Hunt, the son of Satan at Marvel Comics, Satan's Pets by Vic Gedalia, Satan's Seeds by Joey Sherman, Satan's Assassin, Satan's Slave, Satan's Disciples, and Satan's Sublets.

But Super Scary Haunted Homeschool is a Satan-free zone.

This season is about haunted houses, not Satan.

position.

Ray Hunt would say, if that horse is doing it wrong, it's your fault.

Because their needs are simple.

Yeah.

I said, well, how can he do that and us be as clumsy at the start as we are? So there's something we can do here with just the whole process.

You know, everybody's thing, I mean, Monty and...

Pat and more than all of them, Ray Hunt.

I got to do three years with Ray Hunt in a clinic.
