Episode 4: From the Ground Up with Jim Kiser

Jim Kiser joins Brian and Jody to discuss the evolution of footing in the horse show industry. They remember how it all began, laugh over the bumps in the road, and discuss footing, business, and horses. What ties us all together is the love of the horse. It’s more than a cliche for true horsemen and is the foundation for the entire industry.

Their list of events continues to grow and they have trained and worked with footing experts around the globe and across multiple disciplines.

All great horsemen have one thing in common. They are students of the game. They study everything from training techniques to equipment to feeding programs. Knowing and understanding the footing you ride on is no exception. 

Good ground is one of the pillars of a good horse show and necessary for elevating competition while keeping horses sound. Learn how Kiser Arena Specialists solve problems using innovative ideas as they continue to be change leaders in the industry.
