Phil starts with a simple, common sense approach of training horses to understand people and teaching people to understand horses. Over the past twenty-five years, Phil has competed in over 1,000 rodeos, qualifying for both the Badlands Circu

it Finals and the Prairie Circuit Finals. Winning at both ends of the arena-rough stock and timed events-led to Phil winning the coveted Linderman Award in 1989. In addition to providing the training and discipline to get both horse and rider ready for top-level competition, Phil has developed his own unique colt starting program that consists of developing a horse/rider relationship based on trust and respect, which establishes a strong set of fundamentals. He has had over 1500 horses in training with an Equistat earnings of over $1,000,000. Phil and his family currently reside at the Haugen Training Facility in Weatherford, Oklahoma. Whether at home, in the rodeo arena, or at a clinic near you, each of Phil's experiences contribute to and reinforce his philosophy of "Training through understanding".

The changing of seasons always brings about a period of reflection for me. We are entering into a busy fall season both personally and professionally, and while it's easy to look at my calendar and feel overwhelmed, I have to remind myself that being busy is a blessing.

In this episode, I'm sharing some reflections from our first clinic of the fall season and some perspective shifts I am leaning into as we enter into the last quarter of the year. This episode is full of faith, personal growth, and words of encouragement to carry you through this month.

Our first trip to TNT Arena in Lyons, MIโ€”and Iโ€™m sure it wonโ€™t be the last. Weโ€™d like to extend our appreciation to Tom and Tammy Krausz for hosting an exceptional group of trainers at their facility this past weekend.

And, as always, we appreciate the sponsors who make these clinics possible! Head over to philhaugenhorsemanship.com/sponsors to support these brands and learn more about why we trust them as partners in our daily training operations.

Doing nothingโ€”at the right timeโ€”can sometimes be the most productive thing you do in the saddle.

If youโ€™re sending your horse too many signals at once, you might be teaching confusion instead of clarity.

Give your horse a chance to experience the release. A well-timed release will often teach more than constant pressure ever will.

Join me as I talk about the areas of personal development Iโ€™ve been focused on, how Iโ€™ve worked to get in the zone, and ways you can replicate a competition environment in your own mind to build confidence and consistency.

What a weekend at the Riata Buckle. Kyle Alder and I ended up 6th in the 10.5 Championship and split $38,200.

A big thank you goes out to Shane and Allyson Eliason (Eliason Performance Horses) for lining up our runs and for the opportunity to ride their great stallion, DD I Be Tuff, in some of the other ropings this weekend.

I truly believe the value of a skilled c**t starter has never been higher. With more horses being bred each year, there are hardly enough c**t starters to keep up with the demand.

In this episode, Iโ€™m sharing my perspectives about the growing shortage of c**t starters in our industry, why it matters for horse owners and breeders, and what we can do to better prepare our weanlings and yearlings to set them up for success once they arrive at the c**t starter.

Fall clinic season is officially underway! A big thank you goes out to Kelly M. Sitter-McComb at Sitter Downs in Lone Jack, MO for hosting another fantastic group of trainers. It was great to see some new faces and returning riders as well.

Weโ€™re hosting our first fall mentorship group at our training facility this weekโ€”looking forward to a few days of deep personal growth, and of course, lots of time in the saddle.

Will we see you on the road this fall? ๐Ÿ‘€

This week's episode is inspired by the Pendleton Roundupโ€•one of my favorite rodeos to watch each year. Pendleton is unique because itโ€™s run on grass, not dirt. That surface is slick and unforgiving. If your horse is out of balance or dropping into a turn, the ground will expose it.

But watching those top competitors, youโ€™d never know the difference. Their horses stayed square, balanced on all four feet, and confident in their cues. That kind of performance doesnโ€™t just happenโ€”it comes from years of intentional training, awareness, and consistency.
