Experience the ultimate adrenaline rush on this episode of the Quarter Horse Podcast! We’re diving headfirst into the high-octane world of trick riding—a discipline where history meets heart-stopping stunts. From its origins as a survival tactic on the Russian Steppes to the glitz of Dolly Parton’s Stampede and modern rodeo arenas, we explore why the American Quarter Horse is the undisputed king of the stunt world. Join us as we talk to professional performer Shadow Storm about the “high” of the hunt and the reality of life upside down, and veteran trainer Shelly Bicknell, who breaks down the rigorous safety and foundational training required to keep horse and rider “stunt ready.” Tighten your cinches—it’s going to be a fast ride!
