Send us Fan Mail Thank you dear listeners for your 500 plays last week - proud to be a part of your tribe. Please join me in this episode where I talk about and elaborate somewhat on the subject of practicing in a quiet area.

Send us Fan Mail Tune in to hear some of the secrets ' how to get good with horses ' plus also a little story how I came up with the name and stuff like that! Our horses are a direct reflection of who we are, what we do, what our skill set and experience is.  If that does not improve, the horse will not.  Go ahead a buy a new horse but pretty soon it will start to look like that last.  I...

Send us Fan Mail Benny - he is my little (big) guy where in this episode I share with you some of our day-today interactions with other people and their horses. I guarantee you three things in this episode: a smile, a giggle and a 'you said whaaaaat'? To me no matter the color, age, sex or breed, they are all horses and all have equal rights on this earth. I hope you agree and if not may...

Send us Fan Mail It is absolutely possible to have a communication for your horse that says relax or don't worry. The whistle however is aimed even more so at your own body and reactions in order to create self-awareness and calmness. In this podcast I share with you how I came to discover it, a little how to train it and how and when to apply it. You can always reach out to me if you have an...

Send us Fan Mail It's not rocket science, however I suggest with a word of caution as to what blanket to use and for what reason. What is upmost importance is that we blanket in accordance to each horses individual needs. I forgot to mention in this podcast that yes indeed, if I lived in the mountains with a dry climate especially when it snows in the winter, I most likely would not use blank...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode I share with you a funny but very serious story about how a trail riding horse should not look. I hope you listen to the previous podcast called 'They say don't get off - but I say rubbish!' because there is a connection to this one. A good trail horse should be a safe, reliable and willing, partner  who can walk, trot, canter, halt, move sideways, o...

Send us Fan Mail Why oh why, if it could save your life, would you not want to get off? This old fashioned and out of date rule just blows my mind. Why oh why, oh why, do people ride horses without testing (training) a good breaking system first? One rein is for control, two reins are for communication. Bigger bits, tie-downs or any gadget really are not the answer to controlling horses. Getting y...

Send us Fan Mail By no way is this podcast meant to offend, it is to educate and get people to think! In this episode I teach you  about my horse lifestyle scale: 0________5_______10 0 - abused horse with very bad life 5- mediocre to fair life 10 - perfect life It is impossible for quite literally most of our planet to offer a horse a level 10 lifestyle, but all of us can at least offer a 6-7. Lis...

Send us Fan Mail The future of horses and how we train them has changed immensely since the launch of the internet and social media. Our knowledge of horses and how their bodies, minds and psyche work is beyond recognition even compared to just 3-4 years ago. What does this mean,? It means we have to improve things, we have to get better at things and for their sake. With all of this information i...

Send us Fan Mail A question many of us have asked ourselves I am sure! In this episode I share with you some of my thought's. If you suspect your horse does not like you, sometimes or all of the time, then this is the podcast for you. I offer advice to help you figure out if it is indeed true and how you can go about changing that ♥ Support the show Join my Skool for Free HERE Follow me on Fa...

Send us Fan Mail For a majority of riders; one of the hardest things to achieve whilst riding are steady hands. In the episode I offer you some food for thought and tips how to access your self and get better at at it. If we are gonna be riding horses then it is my belief that we owe it to them to get better at it, and if we are talking about longevity and bringing out the very best in them, then...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to this next episode where we get in quite deep, and talk about the impact of positive and negative energy around horses. Sure we all have tough times in life, we can't escape that but what we can do is learn how to not take it with us to the stables, and not constantly project it to our horses as some form of outlet. Our problems are none of our animals business.  Th...

Send us Fan Mail Thank you for joining me in this second episode where I  share with you the importance of knowing what an exercise looks like when we want to learn and practice it. Intention and focus are big part of horse training and if you have an idea of what the end result should look like, it will help you achieve a better quality in he long run. Sometimes we have to unlearn things to acqui...

Send us Fan Mail In this first episode I share with you some insights, facts and my own experiences about horses ears and how they use them to express themselves and communicate. Often times, especially in comments on social media, I have seen people question, even attack perfectly good horsemanship because the horses ears were not forward facing. Forward facing ears does necessarily not mean happ...
