In the video below, Tommie Turvey and his horse, Pokerjoe perform the comedy act "the Riding Instructor" in front of thousands at the MCI Center in Washington DC during the Washington International Horse Show in 2003.
Another one of Tommie's horses has a Stolen Horse International microchip. We'd like to thank Tommie for his support for Stolen Horse International.
Tommie, also know as the Equine Extremist, is a second-generation horse trainer, raised on a paint horse ranch in California. Tommie spent his time growing up breaking, training and performing on horseback. He is the only son of a professional rodeo cowboy, stuntman, actor and Marine Corp. veteran. It was his father’s strict guidance and “just do it” attitude around the horses, which became Tommie’s destiny. “To successfully train a horse you must know how to convey what you are thinking to the horse in their language and in a way they can understand”. It is Tommie’s imagination and creativity what makes him unique in the horse industry.
An accomplished performer in many disciplines, Tommie works in all aspects of the entertainment and equine industry. You’ve probably seen him in feature films, television commercials, as a featured performer at dinner theaters, a specialty feature act at a touring circus, a main character in a wild-west show, to performing his “extreme” shows at horse expos, equestrian events, rodeos, fairs, and numerous international horse shows around the world.
Now, enjoy Tommie's show.
