EP169: Dr. Raquel Butler Integrated Veterinary Therapeutics
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Raquel Butler of Integrated Veterinary Therapeutics, in Australia. We’ll talk about listening to your horse when something doesn’t feel right, and the importance of a multi-faceted approach to rehabilitation.
EP168: Queen Natilla’s Performance
In this episode, I’ll tell the story of a recent bareback and bridleless performance I did with Natilla. I’ll share how we prepared, how it went, and of course, some super cute stories about my big beautiful mare.
EP167: The Unbearable Heaviness of Horsemanship
In this episode, I’ll talk about a trending message that I think is inaccurate and unhelpful. In fact, I think it is working against the best interests of horses and the humans that care so much about them.
EP166: Happy Athlete Training Scale
In this episode, I talk about the Dressage Naturally Happy Athlete training scale, and how you can use it as a blueprint for decision-making with your horse.
EP165: Ask Karen Anything – Rubbing On Wall When Riding
In this episode I answer a student’s question about how sometimes when riding her horse gets too close to the fence and her legs get rubbed into the arena boards. She shares what her instructor has told her, and of course I’ll share what I think, and give a blueprint for problem-solving such things.
EP164: Claim Your Cape
In this episode, I talk about why partnership isn’t enough. It’s time to claim your cape and be your horse’s superhero!
EP163: Should Not
In this episode, I’ll riff off of a student’s question to our FB group where she was wrestling with feeling emotionally and physically dysregulated, and what she ‘should’ do with her horse during those times.
EP162: The Sweet Spot
In this episode, I’ll describe what I call the Sweet Spot of Healthy Biomechanics. It is a key concept in Dressage Naturally. It can transform the way you train, and it is incredibly powerful as a tool for cooperative training of your horse’s posture and way of moving.
EP161: Student Q&A – Resistance To Circling
In this episode, I answer a student question about a horse that resists circling on line. My answer includes a specific exercise, as well as some important psychological nuances about how to do the exercise. It’s not just about ‘getting the horse to circle’ it’s about figuring out how to cause the horse to understand and be motivated to join the circle.
EP160: Technique & Soul
In this episode I’ll share some words from Nuno Oliveira. They are simple yet powerful and something you can apply to your riding starting today. This also dovetails beautifully with principles and methods taught in my Dressage Naturally program.
EP159: Horse School
In this episode, I’ll talk about the different types of sessions we can do with our horses. I’ll share how Math class, Gym class, Recess, and Field Trips all play different and important roles in the well-rounded education of your horse in horse school.
EP158: Needle-Shyness with Dr. Lily Wilson
In this episode I am joined by Dr. Lily Wilson, a veterinary surgeon who has created a new way of helping horse owners take the very best care of their equine partners. Today we will be talking about needle-shyness, and what we can do to make getting injections a better experience for the horse and the handler.
EP157: The Forest
In this episode I’ll talk about beautiful moments with horses and how we can be sure they are beautiful… Who gets to say? If a horse piaffes in the forest and no one is there to judge it, can it be beautiful? Let’s explore that.
EP156: Stop Breaking Horses
In this episode I talk about one of the most unfortunate terms in the horse world: Breaking Horses. Help me eliminate that word, and even more importantly that practice. We don’t want to break horses, we want to prepare them.
EP155: Desiderata
In this episode we’ll take a break from techniques, dressage, and horsemanship. I’ll share one of my favorite prose poems. It is something I read regularly. It’s a powerful piece and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
