Tommie Turvey Equine Extremist
It was a good day
in Bakersfield when I received a return email from Tommie Turvey
saying he would be on the show. My email caught up to Tommie
at the Pennsylvania Horse
World Expo. We scheduled a time we could connect once he
returned home to Summerville, Georgia. I called him at 6 am,
it was 9 am Georgia time, and Tommie Turvey was in his office
managing his Liberty
Horse Ranch and working on the Facebook page for his
Mustang Blade.
(Click on the link and it will take right to Blade's page to give
it a "Like". You can also check out PokerJoe's
Facebook Page). You may have seen
Tommie's YouTube video - it's had over 4 million views.
If you have ever seen Tommie on TV or at one of his shows, you know
Tommie is not only a very good rider, he is an excellent trainer.
He is an even better interview with all the stories he has to
tell. Tommie shares some tales from his early years on today's
show.
Working in the
entertainment business has given Tommie Turvey a wide range of
knowledge about horses and people. Sure he can ride, but he
performs stunts from the back of a horse that will make you shake
your head in wonder. (Sometimes, he's not even on the back of
the horse) I knew we would get into training tips and styles, but I
really wanted to know how Tommie Turvey got to the level he is
today. We go through his early years and the time he spent at
Medieval Times
in Florida and Arabian Nights Dinner Theater
in Florida where he talks about learning to trick ride and
performing in front of an audience. We even hear the tale of
Tommie's adventure in Paris with the
Disney Wild West Show.
We touch on a number of different topics, such as training dogs and cats. Then we find out a few things he has planned for 2014. He is hosting an Open House at his Ranch and he will be at Equine Affaire Ohio. I think you will really enjoy this interview with Tommie Turvey.
