Hey hello hi friends (: We probably all saw this episode coming knowing me, but I genuinely feel this step is in the best interest of the podcast + myself; I've spent a lot of time over the past year really reflecting on what fills my cup + what I'm holding on to that no longer does. This podcast has been a passion project since it began + it has been such an incredible journey for me + I'm so thrilled to have played a role in advocating for more ethical horse training + management. It's truly been one of my greatest accomplishments in my eyes. Now, it feels like that story has been told + the project is mostly complete. It's a weird feeling that's taken me a while to sort out, but I'm doing my best to listen to my head + my heart with this one. All that said, I am 110% keeping the door open for future episodes to fill you guys in on what's going on with the horses + Azula's training. I'd love to pop in here + there, with no pressure or schedule (be a "real ~creative~" lol). So we'll see what happens friends, but for now, I thank each + every one of you for your time + support of this podcast. It means the world 💜

Hi friends, this week's ep starts out light covering some updates around my health journey, acne, etc and turned into quite a heavy one covering something I've been avoiding talking about for a while now. I wasn't really sure when I started the episode that I'd ever go there so apologies for the tone shift.
Even in the episode I say it happened a few months ago, but only in looking back have I realized it was actually nearly a year ago, December 5th that Hearthrob, Beau, Beaubie passed. Even now, having not seen him in years, and knowing it's been almost a year since his passing, I'm struggling to write this description. So please forgive me if the episode is a bit repetitive or all over the place, I know I didn't say everything I wanted to for Beau, but if I've learned one thing about grief, it's that it doesn't have to make sense. That said, I did want to share something as I know many have loved Beau from afar and cherished him. He reached far and wide and became a lil famous horse. He deserved every ounce of love and support he got from you guys and I just, man, I'm so grateful to have known him. I can't believe it's been almost a year. I wanted to share sooner, but honestly, I couldn't find the words. I'm still not fully sure what to say other than how special he was.
Rest easy sweet boy. You're in our hearts forever ❤️

Hello friends, this episode is exactly what it seems to be! 25 things I've learned in my time working with horses that I wish I'd known sooner and believe are worth sharing. Enjoy!
"they wouldn't do it if they didn't want to" is a myth
respect is often conflated / confused with obedience
punishment only teaches horses to conceal their worries, fears, pain, discomfort
it's not cool or a badge of honor to ride a "hot" horse
it's not a disservice to or waste of the horse to not exploit their talent + athleticism
regulating bodies do not always safeguard the horse's best interest + welfare
tradition is not law + often fails to update with current research
there is a difference in giving the horse a treat + training with positive reinforcement
release does not equal reward
management should be based on ethology + species-appropriate care
when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change
if you have 5 minutes, it will take all day, but if you have all day, it will take 5 minutes
yield to win
Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.
many issues in the horse world are reflective of systemic issues
mares are not moody
softness is not weakness
our mental health is reflected in our riding + training
think in "what do i want the horse TO DO" instead of what i want the horse to stop doing
good riding + training is very boring + looks too easy
all behavior has a purpose, look at what need is this behavior meeting rather than why is my horse "xyz" character trait
my relationship with my horse is my responsibility
if you slow down, you get there faster (successive approximation)
treasure my passion + honor it, don't exploit it
when you don't respect the "no" you cannot get a real "yes"

Hello friends, this episode is accidentally a more raw and vulnerable one. I start out catching you all up on Zoë + Azula and move into some more serious thoughts on training, mixing reinforcements (don't be scared now), my relationship with social media, and my dilemmas/paralysis when it comes to training and choosing my path. Enjoy!

Ok friends! We're on the third + final part of this booktalk series covering The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk. This section details about the treatment + recovery discussions in the book, specifically how important our role as an attuned "attachment figure" is in our relationships with our horses - especially those equine friends who are struggling with some traumatic fallout. We'll go in to depth about how some modern psychotherapy approaches might inspire our own treatment interventions with the horses. Enjoy!

Alright alright alright everyone! We're at part 2 of this booktalk series over The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk. This episode covers the 3 avenues to recovery from trauma with the primary focus on developing an understanding of reactivity and problem behavior through the lens of trauma. We're applying the concepts from research on humans to valuable principles to use in our approach to working with horses. Enjoy!

Welcome to the first iteration of a little series I'd like to start on this podcast! Imagine a book club of sorts where I apply concepts from books I'm reading (horse related or not) to work with horses! So, in this ep, I discuss applying Bessel van der Kolk's "The Body Keeps the Score" to training and working with horses with a bit of a trauma history. This episode is part 1 of this book's episodes as I haven't quite finished all my notes on this one. Look out for part 2! Enjoy!
