Equestrian Perspective

UPDATES: The Present Podcast is now up on YouTube  There are now two pathways to explore in my business that you can check out here  I am writing a book that will be published this year called Beyond The Ribbon! Sign up the waitlist and receive exclusive behind the scenes updates about it here. More on this inside my conversation with Shadya (originally recorded for The Present Podcast): What it r...

Animal communication isn't something you learn… it's something you remember. In this episode, I'm inviting you to see that you're already communicating with your horse - in the subtle thoughts, feelings, nudges, and knowing that come through every single day. The question isn't can you do it? It's… are you willing to trust what you're already receiving? We explore: The many ways you're already com...

There comes a point in your horsemanship journey where you start to see things differently. You notice more. You feel more. And you can't unsee what's happening with horses around you. But what can feel even more challenging… is navigating a world that doesn't always see what you see. In this episode, I'm diving into a dynamic that so many equestrians experience but rarely talk about - what happen...

When did "just add more" become a complete and acceptable solution? In this episode, I explore a pattern I've been seeing everywhere - in the horse world, in the human world, and in the experiences my clients are navigating. When something feels off, the default response is often to add more. More pressure. More tools. More medication. More doing. But what if the real question isn't what do I add?...

We've entered the year of the Fire Horse...and with it comes activation, momentum, and truth. In this episode, I share two intuitive messages that came through when I connected with the Fire Horse energy. Open your heart, tune in, take what resonates and leave the rest behind. And as we close out Season 3, here are some next steps for you to explore as mentioned at the end of this episode: • The I...

In this episode, I'm joined again by my beautiful client Carola and this conversation goes deep. Carola came from a traditional dressage background. She's a certified instructor. She followed the rules. She chased the ribbons. And when things got hard with her horses? She sold them. Until she met Queeny. What followed was not just a horsemanship shift but a complete identity shift. Inside this epi...

Confidence isn't something you force, it isn't something you fake and it definitely isn't something you earn by pushing through fear. In this episode, I'm breaking down what actually builds confidence - for both you and your horse - and why safety, clarity, and connection are the real foundations for trusting partnership. If you've ever: Second-guessed yourself on the ground or in the saddle Felt...

Have you ever wondered why your horse seems calm and cooperative for other people... but feels reactive, inconsistent, or emotionally intense with you? Why some days feel connected and beautiful… and other days feel confusing, confronting, or heavy...even when you feel like you're showing up in the same way? In this episode, I speak directly to the experience many compassionate equestrians quietly...

This episode was originally recorded in mid-2025 during a live round of The Field . I'm resharing it now as part of Season 3, with the full permission of the women who shared so openly, as their stories speak directly to the themes we've been exploring around nervous system safety, self-trust, and receiving support. In this conversation, I'm joined by four women - Jenna, Bianca, Gemma, and Tina -...

This episode was originally recorded in mid-2025 after a live round of The Field . I'm resharing it now as part of Season 3, with the full permission from the women who shared so openly, as the reflections in this conversation feel deeply aligned with the themes we've been exploring recently. In this episode, I'm joined by three women - Carola, Maryline, and Natalie - who had just completed a 12-w...

Have you ever felt a new chapter approaching… but sensed that something needed to be tended to first? In this episode, we explore why transitions (even the ones we want) can feel disorienting, exhausting, or hard to move through, especially after long seasons of vigilance, rehab, grief, burnout, or survival mode. You'll hear why slowing down isn't always accessible when your nervous system has lea...

Have you ever tried everything - trainers, lessons, clinics, online programs - and still felt like something wasn't clicking with your horse? In this episode, I explore the different support options available in the equestrian world and why so many thoughtful, caring equestrians end up feeling confused, stuck, or doubting themselves… even when they're doing all the "right" things. We talk about: T...

If your horse isn't spooky…and they're not shutdown…but they do push back - this episode is for you. Fight responses in horses are often misunderstood. They can show up as nipping, pinned ears, tail swishing, big reactions (like kicking, rearing, bucking etc.), or behaviours that get labelled as "dominant", "pushy", or "opinionated". And when this is your horse, it can leave you feeling confused,...

As we step into a new year, it can be tempting to declare a clean slate - to rush ahead with intentions, goals, and plans - without fully acknowledging the ground you're standing on. In this episode, I invite you to slow down. Recorded live on the 1st of January, 2026, this is a reflective conversation about closing a 9-year cycle and consciously stepping into the beginning of a new one - not from...

As we come to the end of the year, it can be tempting to rush ahead... to plan, reset, or "do things differently" without fully acknowledging what this year has already shaped within us. In this episode, I invite you to pause. We reflect on the energy of the Year of the Snake - a year that has asked many of us to shed old skins, release outdated patterns, and recalibrate in ways that haven't alway...

There are seasons where you deeply care about your horse and desire to continue to develop your connection... but your time, energy, or the environment you're working in are genuinely limited. In this episode, I talk about how to  stay connected and keep progressing with your horse during these periods - without pushing, forcing, or falling into the all-or-nothing cycle that so many compassionate...

If your horse seems "quiet"… but something feels off... this episode is for you. Shutdown horses often look calm, obedient, or easy… yet on the inside there is a different story at play. They may feel disconnected, disinterested, flat, or robotic... or go from calm to explosive without warning. And while these signs can be subtle, they matter. Shutdown behaviours arent laziness or compliance. It's...

This episode was originally recorded for My Magical Horse ~ The Podcast , and I'm so grateful to share it with you here.  If you've ever felt off-track with your horse, unsure of what you're "meant" to be doing, overwhelmed by information, or pulled in a direction that doesn't match the plans you once had… this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. In this heartfelt interview with Jordan Bank...

If you're struggling with a spooky horse, a reactive horse, or a horse that is on edge about everything, this episode will help you understand what's really going on - and how to help them feel calm, safe, and confident again. Many riders feel frustrated, confused, or even scared when their horse spooks, shies, or "overreacts". But your spooky horse isn't being difficult or naughty. In this episod...

If you ever feel something in your body around your horse and find yourself wondering, "Is this fear… or is this my intuition?" this episode will bring you so much clarity. Many compassionate horsewomen feel torn between wanting to move forward and feeling paralysed by indecision, unsure whether the sensation they're experiencing is a warning or a gentle nudge. When you don't trust your inner guid...

If you've been carrying guilt connected to your horse...whether from past training choices, accidents, injuries, their transition, moments you wish you handled differently, or simply not being able to give them the care you wanted to - this episode will bring so much relief and softness. Guilt is something many compassionate horsewomen hold quietly and heavily. In this episode, I explain why guilt...

If you've been searching for answers in training methods, in other people's opinions, or even in your horse's behaviour - this episode will feel like coming home. So many compassionate horsewomen find themselves overwhelmed by information, stuck in loops of second-guessing, and unsure which direction to take next. In this episode, I share my own journey through the many layers of seeking clarity -...

If you've ever been told to "just get back on" after a fall, to "be braver" when you feel afraid, or to "push your horse through it," this episode will feel like a breath of relief. So many compassionate riders have been taught that courage means overriding their fear... but this conditioning often disconnects you from your intuition, your horse, and your sense of safety. In this episode, I unpack...

In part two, Felicity and Rachel Buckle dive into the beautiful story of how Rachel  manifested a new horse into her life after a four year break in horse guardianship . They explore the lessons her horse reflects back about alignment, presence, and self-trust, and how the journey of intuitive horsemanship can guide deep personal and spiritual growth. This episode is for anyone who desires to mani...
