EP109: Warwick Schiller
In this episode, I talk with popular clinician, educator, & podcaster, Warwick Schiller. Warwick comes from the reining world, where he was NHRA Reserve World Champion. He since has gone through a transformation in how he trains and teaches. In this conversation, we go into horsemanship, the horse business, personal development… and so much more!

EP108: 3 Questions
In this episode, I’ll share another favorite exercise that you can try right away. You’ll learn how and why asking yourself 3 questions while you are playing with your horse can keep you focused, get results, and keep you calm.
EP107: Grid Exercise
In this podcast I’ll explain one of my favorite exercises that can be done at a basic or advanced level. I call it The Grid and it can improve communication, seat connection, engagement, balance, timing, feel… I could go on and on. I think you’ll love playing with this!
EP106: More Than Words
Choosing who to work with can be a challenge. In this episode I’ll talk about seeing beyond the words that trainers and instructors say in order to get more of a real idea of what they are doing.
EP105: Horses In Training
In this episode I am joined by DN Licensed instructor Shawna Lewis to talk about the challenges students have had with putting their horses in training. We’ll share stories of when it worked and when it didn’t, and will give tips for how to set yourself up for success if you think you need to put your horse in training.
EP104: Noticing
We’ve all heard the phrase: ‘Awareness is the first step’. In this episode I’ll explore the art of noticing… And how it’s not as simple to do as it seems.
EP103: What Does Success Look Like?
In this super short episode I’ll talk about a really important question you need to have up your sleeve. It will help you stay clear and on track when you feel stuck or lost.
EP102: Active Neutral
This episode is about one of the most important concepts in riding: Active Neutral. Active Neutral is where we embody, confirm, and allow that which we asked our horse to perform. It is a mental, emotional, and physical state where we want for nothing else. Most of the ‘magical moments’ we have with our horses are when we are in a state of Active Neutral.
EP101: How I Stopped Being Normal
In this episode I’ll tell the story of how a normal dressage trainer started doing natural horsemanship (yeah it’s about me). I’ll share the horse that got me started, the most important change I made, and how it’s a different story from most.
EP100: Lessons From Page 100
This is the 100th episode of the pod! To celebrate, I will be sharing lessons I found on page 100 of some of my favorite horse and non-horse books, including, of course, my own book: Dressage Naturally – Results In Harmony. There’s something for everyone in this episode, from an exercise to help with your horse’s connection with the reins, to living a life in love.
EP099: Happy Horse Common Threads
In this episode I consolidate information I gained from interviewing several other professionals about how to have happy horses. (You can find some of those interviews in previous episodes of this pod) I’ll pull together the common threads of what they said, I’ll give you some exercises to do, and will go deeper into some of the important points.
EP098: Love It Or Change It
What if, in times of tension, there was one question you could ask yourself that would lead to happiness? In this episode I’ll share a technique I use in life and horsemanship. I’m not sure if it is a horsemanship technique that informed my life or a life technique that informed my horsemanship, but it helps equally with each and I hope it helps you.
EP097: Problems
In this episode I’ll talk about problems and problem-solving, but probably not in a way you’ve heard before. I’ll explore how we think about problems, and what we bring to the problem as the first step in solving it. This episode is for everyone, because everyone is going to experience problems.
EP096: Summer Adjustments
In this episode I’ll talk about the adjustments I make when it gets HOT. Hopefully this will help you and your horse have a more enjoyable summer. The concept of adjusting for weather could also apply to winter challenges, too.
EP095: Arena Sour
In this episode I’ll talk about what to do to help a horse who has become arena sour. Whether your horse flat out refuses to go in the arena, or if he is just a flatter duller version of himself this episode will give you some things you can do to help your horse love the arena (or at least stop hating it).
