Hi I started a new thread titled "Question for Rip" but it's my first time here and I think I posted to the wrong section. I would like to post that thread to this forum. Hopefully you can help me get my question to the right place. Thanks

I'll make sure your question gets on the Q&A we're filming today.

Rip, imagine you were compelled to journey through time, selecting any historical period and setting (<1900s) and tasked with establishing a Starting Strength program for the inhabitants of that time. Which time period resonates most with you for fulfilling this mission? Are there any populations you would have like to apply the program to? Additionally, how would you modify the program to align with their lifestyle, available resources (such as equipment), and the physical demands characteristic of their era?

Rip, if I have heard right, you have a background working with horses. Can you talk about that time in your life? How did you get involved? What was your job with them? Are raising horses still a major part of your life?

I was in the "horse business" for about 30 years. Just owned rode, buy and sell, used, etc. Got too crippled to ride, so it's been a while.
