EP149: Listening To Horses with David De Wispelaere
In this episode I talk with international dressage rider, trainer and author David De Wispelaere. We talk about his love for horses, and his thoughts about the dressage world and what makes him and his horses happy. I found him to be a kindred spirit and am so happy to have connected with him. I loved our conversation and I think you will too.
EP148: Pro-Horse Pros
In this episode I talk about the value of the heart-centered equine professional and how important they are for the welfare of horses. I’ll also talk about how some have lost their way, and how to help bring them back to their hearts.
EP147: Riding Without Reins
In this episode I’ll talk about why you want to practice riding without reins It can be a humbling experience, but the benefits in the long term make it well worth the effort.
EP146: Pushing It
In this episode I’ll talk about how to know if it’s OK to ‘push’ our horses to do something that seems hard for them. This is a very common question that all trainers and riders have at some point with every horse.
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!.
EP144: Nosebands
In this episode I discuss nosebands – What they are for, why I don’t use them, and enough information for you to make your own educated decision about using them in your practice.
EP143: Slow is Fast
This episode is a note to students (and trainers) about taking the time to do the basics and why a horse education is about so much more than just riding skills.
EP142: Beginning With Regard
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.
EP141: Brain & Butt
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
In this episode I respond to a student’s question about ‘endings’, specifically when dreams we have with our horses come to an end. This will be more about life lessons than horse lessons… but isn’t it always horses who cause us to strive to be our best?
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.
EP138: Artistic Dressage Symposium
In this episode I’ll talk about a recent symposium hosted by the Baroque Equestrian Games & Institute where I was invited to do 2 demonstrations. I’ll share about the event and the highlights of my demonstrations and of course, will gush about how cool my horses are.

In this episode I’ll be talking with Mary Debono. She is a certified Feldenkreis practitioner focused on helping horses and riders enjoy freer, healthier movement even if challenged by injury, arthritis, anxiety or pain.

EP135: Improve How Your Horse Moves: Part 1
In this episode, I’ll look at how to improve your horse’s movement. I’ll talk about the very first steps that are usually over-looked. Instead of jumping right into aids to change their bodies, we’re going to take a moment to observe. This is Part 1. Part 2 is the next episode.
