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 operated a newspaper route and became an Eagle Boy Scout. While in college, he played music in night clubs and worked 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, Rick married long-time friend, actress Diana Baines, and in 1997, they launched The Horse Show with Rick Lamb,
a weekly syndicated radio program. The program quickly found an audience on radio and the Internet, and was joined by
The Horse Show Minute, a daily radio feature, in 1999. 
By 2003, Rick had racked up six industry awards for his radio shows, had started emceeing live events, and was
appearing occasionally on television and video. That year he also landed a contract for his first book, a joint project
with Dr. Robert M. Miller titled The Revolution in Horsemanship. As the year came to a close, Rick began playing music
again, this time with veteran singer/guitarist Jay Casmirri. Today The Blenderz play publicly whenever their busy
schedules allow. 
2005 brought three more industry awards for The Horse Show and Rick's second book, Horse Smarts for the Busy Rider. 2006
ushered in a new era with Rick's move to television on RFD-TV. A confessed workaholic, Rick enjoys nothing more than being immersed in multiple creative projects. He and Diana live in Phoenix with three horses, Candy, Savannah, and Sarah, and a black cat named Angus. They have three grown children, sons \ Ryan and Todd, and daughter, Blair.
