Send us Fan Mail Being prepared to fail more times than we succeed is the route to all mastery. However I get it, especially when a live animal is involved. But still it should not prevent you from progress and if anything, it keeps life in your socks and oxygen in your veins on the path to discovering your hidden talents.  All I can say next, is have a listen and hope you enjoy  ♥ Support the sho...

Send us Fan Mail We've all done it at some point, but a good measure in training horses is knowing when your doing it and trying not to do it again. Listen in where I talk about what happens, how it effects our horsemanship and how we can prevent it in the future ♥ Support the show Join my Skool for Free HERE Follow me on Facebook , Instagram and TikTok  

Send us Fan Mail I loved her new book and I love Lucie! Hey that's a movie right? lol. Anyhow over the years and via the equestrian circuit here in the Netherlands our paths have crossed on occasion and with similar interests and respect for each other, it was only right that she be a guest on my show. Please listen in where I just know you're gonna love it ♥ As discussed in the show, yo...

Send us Fan Mail Horsemanship is way more than just technique and doing things with horses. I believe it is also taking care of them, getting to know their bodies better so we can add years to their lives, rather than take them away. This is one of the reasons behind the audio lessons I talk about, which if you are interested, can be found here in my online training academy HERE. Curious? Please s...

Send us Fan Mail As mentioned, I don't usually label horses but for this particular subject choose to do so in order to educate and help understand. In hindsight, I also forgot to mention the subject of pain and how that can also influence a horse as described here, so will save that for another podcast ♥ Support the show Join my Skool for Free HERE Follow me on Facebook , Instagram and TikTo...

Send us Fan Mail  ⚠️ Listener Discretion Advised ⚠️  In this episode, I share real-life events that I've either been involved in or witnessed firsthand. And, well... sometimes, the stories aren’t so pretty.  Remember, I'm here to educate. My intention isn't to scare you, but to help prevent further accidents.  This was actually the first podcast I edited to add new stories afterward...

Send us Fan Mail A touchy subject for some perhaps, but in the end it is not about us, it is about THEM! Too many horses cannot release trauma or fear triggered from the past because their humans cannot let it go either.  I believe it is detrimental that we understand how the horses brain works so we can help them in accordance to their own species and not that of a human ♥ Support the show Join m...

Send us Fan Mail Just like the back-up, I believe sideways exercises are not utilized enough in the sense of not only using the horses intelligence, but to also add layers to their gymnastic ability and their mindset ♥ Support the show Join my Skool for Free HERE Follow me on Facebook , Instagram and TikTok  

Send us Fan Mail If you think you are frustrated, imagine how your horse feels? Feeling rushed or clumsy around your horse, please listen in because sometimes it only takes a few changes in our every-day general skills or a shift in our mindset to resolve things. I also share some stories and situations to highlight how to resolve it ♥ Support the show Join my Skool for Free HERE Follow me on Face...

Send us Fan Mail Groundwork - it is so old it is new again . The revolution of groundwork began about 25 years ago where it had kind of disappeared from public knowledge for many years and then thanks to handful of people, dotted around the world, it came back. In this ep. I share with you some stories of my own struggles whilst also being a part of this phenomenon to bring groundwork back and do...

Send us Fan Mail The title says it all! When we prioritize relaxation, even when our horses are already calm, we build trust and earn extra points in their minds.  This way, when we need to ask for relaxation in challenging moments, they'll be more likely to believe us. Tune in to learn why making relaxation a habit can transform your connection with your horse ♥ Support the show Join my Skoo...

Send us Fan Mail To my awesome listeners, get ready for an enlightening and fun interview! Meet Bianca – she's been training horses and dominating showjumping competitions since she was a kid.  With a background as impressive as her character, Bianca's commitment to self-care and self-awareness is truly inspiring.  I'm proud to know her, and I can't wait for you to hear her sto...

Send us Fan Mail In my world of horse training we 'start' horses, we do not break them.  In many cases (not all) - 'to break in a horse' pretty much does what its says, it breaks them. Starting horses is a process, one of which takes time so it becomes a permanent and beautiful thing. In this episode I share with you a bit about my young horse starting process and what some peo...

Send us Fan Mail Everybody and I mean, everybody at some point feel uncertain.  That's just the way it is! There is far too much we can learn about horses and it is impossible to know it all, but where one can be successful and feel more certain is to continue our study and not be afraid to put to practice new things we learn ♥ Support the show Join my Skool for Free HERE Follow me on Faceboo...

Send us Fan Mail It is absolutely possible to be successful with horses without the fancy arena, the best tack and tools or even the best bred horses.   Of course all of those things could make it better or easier, but that really depends on who you are, how determined you are and your willingness to search for gold under any circumstance ♥ Support the show Join my Skool for Free HERE Follow me on...

Send us Fan Mail Just like us, if the last impression your horse had of you is not great and this continues over a period of time, they can and will start to remember that.  Relationship & Bonding is a big chunk of what my horsemanship training is all about, so have a listen and I hope you agree and can relate ♥ Support the show Join my Skool for Free HERE Follow me on Facebook , Instagram and...

Send us Fan Mail I fear that it is during times of desperation or when we need to do something that is different with our horses that our skills are revealed and put to test. Did you now that it is during periods of for example box rest (depending on the illness or injury) that it is still possible to teach horses new things? Have a listen to my thoughts about that ♥ Support the show Join my Skool...

Send us Fan Mail You either know or your don't, either way there is no shame in it, because if you did not, now you do ;) A horses diet requirements is actually very simple, we must be careful to not over complicate it and quite possible cause more harm than good. In this episode I discuss how carrots should be limited and why feeding food that is too wet can be damaging ♥ Support the show Jo...
