Ep. 61 Dave Duquette, of Western Justice, and Colton Woods Part 2

Adult Onset Horsemanship

Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info.

Dave Duquette is a Marine, Horse Trainer, and Emmy Winner. He has also been fighting for the agricultural industry and particularly the horse business for a long time. He used to work at Protect the Harvest and started Western Justice several years ago. Western Justice has the mission to fight animal extremist groups and the influence they are having on our industry. If there's been a legal battle going on where some rancher has been unfairly railroaded by the government's mindless beaurocracy, or some animal rights group is trying to end rodeo forever, it's very likely Dave was in there fighting for us.
The point of Western Justice is to have an organization with a membership that
fights to preserve our western heritage. Those of us in agriculture and the horse world are astoundingly under represented and the organizations that have supposed to have been fighting for us are largely ineffective or simply bowing down without fighting at all. Western Justice's team is committed to forming a united front of western organizations and individuals and to advocate on their behalf at the legislative level.
Colton Woods, along with his wife Maredith, have Colton Woods Horsemanship, The Professional Horseman's School, Professional Mentorship Program, and the online webdevelopment platform Horse Business Manager that helps other professional horsemen and women with the scheduling, billing, social media, and communication with their customers.

Colton's also a Christian, husband and father, with the courage and willingness to fight the absurdities that we're asked to tolerate these days.
In part 2 of our chat, we get into horse slaughter, animal rights vs animal welfare, branding mustangs, self-policing problems in the industry, attempts at banning rodeo in California and New York, and the fact that USDA Inspections and registrations will soon be required for all horse events as of Feb. '25 if something doesn't get done and how that's a lot more dangerous than it seems at face value.
