Stay Ready: Crafting Trust With Horses And People

Send us Fan MailA tough mare, a winter shock, and a door that opened at just the right time—this is how LC Horsemanship found its footing in the heart of Lexington. We sit down with LaRodre to trace his journey from Mississippi’s gaited culture and dirt-road Standardbred racing to the Thoroughbred capital, where attention to detail, patience, and timing rewired his approach to training and business.We unpack his clear, repeatable process for starting Colts: create quiet, build willingness, and make point-and-go confidence the default. Whether the horse is headed for the track, the show pen, or the ranch, he applies the same foundation and avoids shortcuts that turn into baggage later. He explains why he caps his program at six outside horses, handles every detail himself, and keeps owners informed so progress never stalls. Along the way, we talk race, Colts, first rides, trail exposure, and the difference a calm mind makes when pressure shows up.Visibility becomes the next frontier. LaRodre shares the struggle to get on camera, why word of mouth has kept him busy, and how simple video habits can scale trust without diluting quality. We trade tips on low-friction tools, the value of weekly training snippets, and why a vlog can connect with horse people and newcomers alike. There’s plenty of Kentucky flavor, too: the electricity of Keeneland week, Road to the Horse, clinic takeaways, and a spirited detour into Lexington food favorites. And yes, we make the case for a good mule as a sure-footed, loyal partner that can anchor the whole program.If you’re building a horsemanship business, training a young horse, or chasing a steadier seat in the saddle, you’ll leave with practical ideas you can use tomorrow: tighter communication, better routines, honest updates, and a mindset built on readiness.
