Michael O'Cumber

How you doing?

Michael O'Cumber is my name, and this is Fosse Mountain Springs in Timahoe in County Leash.

I teach western riding and we also do natural horsemanship and horse psychology and all aspects of western weather.

It's raining all the way up to barrel racing.

The reason why we call this place Fosse Mountain Springs is because everywhere you dig a hole you get a spring.

So I have these in all the fields all along so all the horses can get in and keep cool all the time.

This is Old Red.

26 years old.

This here is Spot, Spotted Eagle.

All the horses are called here after American Indian tribes and American Indian names.

You have Ghost Dancer, we have Little Eagle, we have Sun Dancer, we have Lakota Blue and

So they're all different, but they're all gentle, all easy going.

They're all so placid, aren't they?

All really, really soft, gentle, easy going girls.

So anyone can do anything they like with these girls.

She's up again having her baby now shortly.

Oh, she's the one who's in full.

It's not about how good your skills are.

Horses are in your head.

It's all about your energy.
