Tommie is up in Canada as we speak. I am in Sterling to keep this place running. He said they closed the road from Winnepeg to Brandon due to a storm, so he had to stop down with the horses for 10 hours until they plowed and opened the road. It is amazing what can happen on the road. Tommie is currently putting together a book on trailering which will not only cover the things you may need, it will the cover the decisions you may have to make. Tommie has been stranded on highways, out of gas, blown tires, no power, high heat, below zero weather, no lights on his truck and trailer, and so on. His wealth of knowledge on traveling and transporting horses is incredible. He really knows how to travel safely down the road. Most of the time it isn't what will happen, it is WHEN will it happen.
Here are some photos from the show, the Royale Manitoba Winter Fair in Brandon, Manitoba. If you saw Tommie there, leave a comment and let us know what you thought.
As you can see, Tommie did lots of interviews each day of the fair. Canadian media really supports their events.
Tommie practices roman riding in the main arena in Brandon, Manitoba.
Here is a great shot which shows the relationship Tommie has with his horses. This is with Ace, an eight year old black and white Paint horse. Hope you enjoyed the show.
Ride Fast... Take Chances! karen

Our prayers are with Tommie on his journey through Canada.
When he gets that book ready, do let us know. Trailering is one of my biggest concerns, and anything I can learn to do it more safely would be great. I see so many people doing stuff that is unsafe, and I think it is great when someone with as much knowledge as Tommie can put something together to educate people.
I saw Tommie at the Fair and was totally amazed. I thought it was great entertainment and that his routines were hilarous. Everyone I know was a HUGE fan of the Roman Riding. I saw some of his other tricks/performances on YouTube, and I'm hoping he'll come back to the fair and bring some more exciting tricks!
I saw Tommie in Brandon and I thought he awesome. Its nice to see the relationship between him and his horses. Too bad he had to make fun of the Superdogs I thought he was very unprofessional and lost a little bit of respect for him. I also enjoyed watching the Superdogs and my kids love their shows. Im sure both Tommie and the Superdogs work equally as hard to put on a great show for us.
Glad to see that ya'll have a Blog!
Im definetly a big fan an aspire to one day be at least half as famous as ya'll.
Question , what would you look for in a potential roman team?
