This week I have the honor of visiting with a friend who has had a profound effect on my horsemanship journey Mr Jack McComber.  Jack had a very successful career as a professional trainer of cutting and reined cow horses.  He has competed in the National Reined cow horse futurity making the finals multiple times.  He has also competed in at the NCHA Championship Futurity in Ft Worth.  He and his wife Sylvia are spending their time these days developing a and enjoying great cow horses at their ranch in Colorado.

This week I have the privilege of interviewing a longtime friend and equine expert Ms. Toni Bucciero.  Toni has spent many years practicing and developing the "art" of helping horses feel better.  Whenever I get the slightest notion that my horses are not feeling 100% I give her a call and set up an appointment.  She uses multiple techniques and methods of making adjustments to a horses body resulting in better mobility and comfort.  I don't exactly know how she does this I call it "Magical"  

Chubby has been referred to as the ambassador of cutting. With more than 40 years of experience in just about every aspect of the cutting horse industry, Chubby brings a vast knowledge and history of cutting to the sport.

With over $2.5 million in rider earnings, Chubby was the 2014 & 2013 NCHA Open World Champion on One Time Choice and also the 2004 NCHA Open World Champion on Flickacat. Chubby has also had a successful aged-event career, including two NCHA Super Stakes Championship titles.

Chubby is a NCHA life time member and currently serves as an at large director for North Texas. He also served as NCHA President for the 2009-2010 term and was instrumental in the sponsorship of Mercuria for the NCHA World Finals and World Series of Cutting. He was inducted into the NCHA Members Hall of Fame at the 2015 NCHA Convention.
