Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the Long for the Ride. I know it's been a while.

Sorry, I've been super busy with these pre-futurities coming up and I don't know.

We've been going like crazy, but I'm excited to bring you a good guest today.

I've been wanting to get hooked up with him for quite some times, and we actually see each other all the time, but trying to find a couple hours to sit down and talk, it's definitely been a challenge.

It's my veterinarian, Dr. John Newcomb. john and i have known in chatter for over 20 years i actually met him when i was still working at todd bergen up in

oregon i remember him coming up and taking care of some todd's horses and uh we had a really

strong and great relationship ever since.

He's been my vet since I went out of my own in 2003.

I was in the area where he's working down in Southern California.

And then a few years ago, it's been about 10 years now, I moved here to Arizona. And one of the factors that let me come over here was the fact that he was going to continue to work on my horses.

So John comes every week or two weeks.

We have a long list of horses that he goes through and I don't know.

I couldn't have done what I've done so far without him.

I can tell you that.

And the reason why I wanted to bring him to this episode for you guys, it's because I think

everybody is going to take something out of a good conversation with John in the fact that

there's so much knowledge there.

And you don't have to be a Rainer.

John works on pleasure horses, English horses, actually a big part of his business is jumpers and

and resage. And all sorts, he's just very well-rounded. I mean, John has put so much time

into learning about the horses. He's a passionate as I am as far as training. He used to train

some horses. He showed a lot of Rayners, cow horses. He used to train some horses.
