EP112: Complicating The Half Halt
In this episode I will explore the elusive, confusing, mystifying mystery known as the half halt – the dressage student’s white whale. Many other teachers have gone before me, claiming to be able to simplify it, demystify it and clarify it but they end up just complicating it. I’m usually pretty good at explaining things… So is this episode going to clarify or confuse or complicate the half halt even more? I guess you’ll have to listen to find out.
EP111: Get The Ticket & Show Up
In this episode, I’ll share a couple of life hacks for making sure you do things you want to do. This will help you stop procrastinating, and will make it easier to make the progress you want to make.
EP110: Dream, Observe, Root, Play
In this episode, I’ll share a summary of a recent 4-part Video Series where I give 4 valuable lessons on how to improve how your horse moves, and each lesson has an exercise. I’ll lead you through a process of dreaming, observing, going back to determine the root of any issues, then explain how to use playfulness to improve your horse’s posture and way of moving.
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.
