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. We found a lot of common ground with how we approach improving horse’s movement so I think you will really love our conversation!
EP136: Improve How Your Horse Moves: Part 2
This episode is Part 2 of last week’s pod, where I continue to look at how to improve your horse’s movement. We’ll look at some often-missed root causes for unhealthy biomechanics and the most important conversations you need to have with your horse in able to improve how your horse moves.
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.
EP134: About Dressage Naturally Clinics with Michelle Young
In this episode I talk with DN instructor Michelle Young, from Canada.
In becoming a DN instructor, she realized how DN clinics can be much different than what some people may expect. So we’ll chat about why clinics in general are valuable, and what makes DN clinics so special.
EP133: Oppositional Reflex
In this episode I’ll talk about Opposition Reflex – what it is and how to deal with it with your horse.
EP132: Teo Finds His Power
In this episode, I share one of my horse’s personal breakthrough moments. It was less about training and more about helping him reconnect with his playful power. This is a horse that has caused me to re-evaluate my goals and expectations, and re-define what success looks like for the horse, rather than for myself.
EP131: Leading & Following
In this episode I answer a student’s question about leading and following. She wants to go deeper into following to create more harmony but without giving up her leadership. I’ll discuss some concepts around this, and will also describe how to practice it with your horse.
EP130: Measure Your Progress
In this episode I’ll talk about ways to measure your success without competing. It’s so helpful to measure your progress so you know where you are and what you need to work on… even more importantly so you can realize how far you’ve come!
EP129: Grooming & Musing
Want to hang out with me while I do some chores? In this episode you will come along with me as I spend some time grooming Ovation and finishing up some chores one evening. I’ll muse about having an intention even for ‘mundane’ moments, noticing differently, health benefits of loving on your horse, and mostly, you’ll just be with me as I hang out with my horses. Hopefully you’ll find this at least relaxing.
