The Horse Show With Rick Lamb
Radio horseman Rick Lamb joins the RFD-TV lineup
October 31st with a new half-hour television series certain to hook
horse lovers.
The Horse Show with Rick Lamb is a magazine-style program
where anything goes. The season opener has Rick preparing for a
celebrity cutting in Indiana by taking a lesson from Arizona’s
legendary Al Dunning. Other programs find him deep in the heart
of Texas talking horses and music with country heartthrob Chris
Cagle, playing horse soccer in Kansas, or prowling the halls of the
Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. to find out how
the National Animal Identification System will affect horse owners.
Training, travel, health, human interest, and historical segments are
slated for the first season. The connecting thread is Rick’s insatiable
curiosity about everything equine. “I guess I’m obsessed,” he says. “I
wake up every day wanting to know more and do more with horses,
and to share that with my audience.”
Many viewers will recognize Rick Lamb. He has hosted two “live”
episodes of Downunder Horsemanship on RFD-TV and shares the
spotlight with that program’s host, trainer Clinton Anderson, on the
Wahl Walkabout Tour, an intensive two-day horsemanship
symposium that has hit more than 60 cities in the past four years
and draws audiences numbering in the thousands.
Lamb is also host of Road to the Horse, the popular colt starting
competition held in Murfreesboro, Tennessee each year.
Even more people will recognize Lamb’s voice. His syndicated radio
programs, The Horse Show with Rick Lamb and The Horse Show
Minute, are heard on 130 radio stations and online at
www.thehorseshow.com. The shows have earned nine national
awards for excellence and have attracted a full roster of premium
sponsors, several of which are also underwriting Lamb’s move to
television.

Heading the creative team on the TV show is Rick’s wife, Diana
Lamb. Diana spent twenty years in front of the camera as a
commercial and film actress, soaking up every nuance of the
production process. It gave her the experience and eye for detail she
depends upon now as director and primary videographer.
“My goal is to tell each story the best way possible, whatever it is,”
Diana explains. “Rick is a great interviewer and his enthusiasm for
horses really shines through. But the story is the star of this show.”
Rick has also proven himself as an author, penning the modern
classic, The Revolution in Horsemanship, with Dr. Robert M.
Miller, and Horse Smarts for the Busy Rider. His third book is
expected to hit the shelves in late 2007. In print, in person, or on
the air, Rick Lamb is considered to be one of the most effective and
knowledgeable communicators in the horse industry today.
RFD-TV welcomes Rick and Diana Lamb to its family of
programmers. You can count on good things coming into your
home every week from this talented couple.

More About Rick Lamb
Rick Lamb was born and raised in Wichita,
Kansas. He had a passionate interest in horses
from an early age but few opportunities to be
around them. Instead, he focused on music,
turning pro at the age of 14 and fostering
talents that he would repeatedly call upon in
the coming decades.
As a teenager, Rick ran a newspaper route and
became an Eagle Boy Scout. While in college,
he led a near-schizophrenic life, playing rock
music in bars at night and working days at the
city library. In 1973, he graduated cum laude
from Wichita State University with a double
major: Math and Philosophy. After graduation,
Rick programmed mainframe computers for
several years before starting a commercial audio
recording business, Lambchops Studios, in
Phoenix. During the next two decades, he
wrote and produced countless pieces of music
for broadcast commercials and won several
awards for his work.
In 1990, he married long-time friend, actress
Diana Baines. In 1997, they launched a
syndicated radio program, The Horse Show
with Rick Lamb, and followed it up in 1999
with a second, The Horse Show Minute. Rick
began writing books and magazine articles on
horsemanship in 2003.
A confessed workaholic, Rick enjoys nothing
more than being immersed in multiple creative
projects. Today, he and Diana live in Phoenix
with three horses and a cat. They have three
grown children. When he and Diana are not
on one of their frequent road trips, Rick still
plays music occasionally at a local pizza parlor
with his video editor, Jay Casmirri.
