EP145: Curiosity
In this episode I talk about Curiosity and why it has a big impact on your horse’s trainability and willingness to learn. You may be wondering if I am referring to your, or your horse’s curiosity… I guess you’ll have to listen to find out!.

In this episode I talk about a happy shift I have noticed with beginner and novice riders I have seen these days compared to the past. It has to do with a change in priorities.

In this episode I’ll be talking about the brain and the butt. How they relate, when you need to connect them, and when you need to separate them!
EP140: Endings

EP139: Dominant & Submissive
In this episode I’ll talk about the idea of dominance and submission. It’s less of a scientific dissertation, and more of a discussion of those terms and the practical application in real life. Plus there’s a bonus story about the power of belief.
