Redneck Duck Retrievals and the Magic of Horse Communication - Episode 11

In this episode of Grooming Spirits, host Eric Ryan Anderson shares a wild Florida duck hunting tale from a mounted shooting clinic trip—complete with an ice-cold, all-in wade through a marshy sinkhole to retrieve a downed bird (no dog required!). From there, he dives into the profound bond between rider and horse, explaining how subtle cues like hip shifts and subconscious communication allow horses to respond at full speed during cowboy mounted shooting. Recorded under the oaks at Spirit Equine Therapy, Eric reflects on the deep trust and connection that make these partnerships possible. Tune in for humor, heart, and timeless lessons from the ranch.
