Animal Tales Heidi Herriott

Guest Tanya McCready shares the fascinating story of life with her family and their sled dogs in scenic and beautiful Canada. She smiles as she recounts how getting a pet Husky decades ago led to an amazing journey of ups and downs. She provides vivid descriptions for Hosts Heidi and Tommy of life on the ranch, riding on the sleds, feeding time with a huge pack, raising children, and more! In addition to their own sled dog business, husband Hank has also competed in the Last Great Race – The Iditarod, and Tanya is now a sought after motivational and leadership speaker.

During the host chat, Tommy notes that a recent trip to a horse show provided valuable insights into dog training and behavior – both good and bad, which is a common topic on the podcast. Listen/Tune in and enjoy an exhilarating ride with the Winterdance sled dogs!

Cindy Schonholtz, pro rodeo consultant, chats with Heidi about animal welfare, public perception, and where things stand today with attempts to ban rodeos in certain states and municipalities. You will hear often on the podcast, this outcry for outright bans does NOT overwhelmingly come from those who attend and/or participate in rodeos or other animal events, but rather from groups who philosophically and emotionally do not believe we should interact with or utilize animals. These people who are the vocal minority, the animal rights groups, do not speak for most people but yield the loudest voice and use tactics like threatening sponsors of events. Cindy is also the President of the Animal Welfare Council, whose mission is preserving the important Human/Animal Bond. Sit tight in your saddle as we rope you in with this informative and lively conversation. Let’s Rodeo!
