EP236: Chat with Christina Keim, Author of: Unwanted
In this episode I speak with Christina Keim, author of Unwanted, The Causes and Effects of America’s Horse Population Crisis. This is a book every horse lover needs to read, and I’m so happy to share this with you. It’s a subject that is uncomfortable to look at, but necessary.

In this episode I talk about some of the challenges of being a horse professional for many decades, how things change, and perhaps a more positive way to navigate it.

In this episode I talk about how to keep track of all the things we need to keep track of when we’re doing stuff with our horses, and how do we know if it’s us that need to change or our horse?
EP230: Why Should They?
In this episode I’ll talk about some ways I help myself make decisions with my horses (and life).

EP228: Responding To Welfare Issues
In this episode I take a look at horse welfare and how we can respond to situations where we think a horse is in a less-than-ideal situation. I’ll share three models, two to help you assess a situation and one to decide how to respond.
EP227: Stopping Riding
In this episode I answer a listener’s question about the challenge of deciding when to stop riding when it is the horse’s decision to stop.

EP225: The Extraordinary Ordinary
In this episode I talk about the magical stuff, those synchronous, rare moments when the stars align, and how maybe they are much more ordinary in the best way possible.
EP224: Revisiting Going Through
In this episode we revisit episode 87 on Going Through because it is such an important subject! This episode is about throughness in the dressagey sense of the word, and it’s also about going all the way through a process… so instead of getting stuck in the messy middle, you find your way to the beautiful stuff on the other side.
EP223: 2 Exercises, 1 Birthday Wish

🎤 NEW POD 💥 EP234: REINTRODUCTION: HAPPY ATHLETE TRAINING SCALE
Enjoy this short excerpt
For the FULL episode go to: https://dressagenaturally.net/podcast/
Or search for Horse Training In Harmony Episode 234 wherever you listen.
This episode is a reintroduction of one of the most important concepts I teach, the Happy Athlete Training Scale.
This is the framework for ethical training with a prioritization on your horse’s well-being. This training scale is ALWAYS in the back of my mind as I assess my horses and make my day-to-day and moment-to-moment training decisions. It’s simply my best, most simple description (so far) for explaining how to make those decisions.
