Awesome job Stacy and Roxy! See you at the Pfizer Fantasia at Equine Affaire on Thursday night, April 10! The following is from Stacy herself regarding her Ellen appearance. To see this and more, go to Stacy’s website at: www.westfallhorsemanship.com In case you haven’t heard I WAS ON THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW! I am still trying to accept that it really happened. For me it seemed like it all happened so fast. I was in our office on the Tuesday when Terri answered the phone and took the message that Kara from The Ellen Degeneres show had called and wanted to play the video that Ellen had seen through the e-mail. It was the bareback bridleless run (click here to watch it) and they asked us to overnight a high quality copy of it to them. We did and it was amazing to see Ellen play the clip and talk about reining on national television just a day later. The trip out was just about as quick. One week after the airing of the first show we loaded up and headed to California and before I knew it we were on TV. Roxy settled in easily at the LA Equestrian Center and our boys enjoyed the swimming pool at the hotel. We were schedule to shoot footage at the Equestrian Center the day before appearing in the studio and I had no idea what to expect. It was amazing to see all of the people that showed up for the shoot. Many cameras were on hand as well as directors and other vip’s. I wasn’t allowed to meet Ellen until the cameras were rolling…no pressure! It was so fun. It felt like it …
People have so few examples of what THEY can do if they watch and listen and INVOLVE themselves with life. This feels so far removed from classical conditioning training where you treat animals and people like computer input/output units and you the programmer, distant and removed. It looks like being in relationship and working it for mutual benefits.
I saw Stacey in person and she is amazing.
it’s amazing that Ellen invited you to show the world into a sport that few people who don’t ride understand. Sometimes when i come back from a show to school it seems like no one gets the blood sweat and tears horsemen and women of all disciplines go through to strive to ride at the highest level. I’m glad they saw the show world through your eyes Stacy. Way to Represent!!
i love herrrrrrr!
i luv stacy westfall. she has anamazing horse and my hero
