0:00.0	Welcome to Along for the Ride with Andrea Fapani.
0:09.0	I'm Andrea and I've got Jim Essek here with me, producing the show, basically helping me,
0:15.0	shine the light on these different people that we're going to be interviewing.
0:18.0	We're going to concentrate on the performance
0:20.9	aspect of the industry, and it's not going to be just the reigning horse industry. It's going to be
0:25.2	pretty much performance horses. I don't think that you can really categorize raining in its own
0:30.7	window. I think that you can consider raining cowhorse, you name it, cutting all to be performance
0:36.5	events. I think that you need to have the same
0:39.1	qualities to be excellent at any of the disciplines. I think you need to be a great horseman
0:44.1	and so many other things. And that's why I started this podcast. I wanted bring the attention to
0:49.4	the people that really make this sport so great. It's not just us as trainers or showmen. There's going to be a lot of people that we're going to talk to. There's going to be owners. There's going to be non-professionals. And also people that don't even ride, maybe horseshoers, veterinarians. There's just so many people that affect what we do every day. A lot of times you don't hear about them. You can read magazine or listen
1:11.4	to interviews from the horse shows and everybody shines the light on the performance and who's
1:15.4	in the arena. But I think to be successful, like I've been in the last 20 years, you need to
1:19.9	have a group of people behind you that take care of everything else. You know, obviously I can't
1:24.4	take care of everything when I'm riding 10 to 15 horses a day.
1:27.7	Just like anybody else, I've got a group of people.
1:30.2	Sometimes it's family, sometimes it's friends, sometimes it's other professionals that take care of all the things that I can't.
1:35.7	And I think anybody that has a really successful program, doesn't matter what you do, have to have that type of people around them to really be able to stay at the top or get to the top.
1:45.7	So we're going to be talking to all these different type of people and hoping that with me
1:50.0	asking questions, we're going to find out what makes them so good. We're going to pick people that
1:53.7	are successful in what they do. And what I want to know is how they got there. It's not just about
1:57.9	the technique. It's not about showing you guys how we train a horse.
