So as it goes, I had a very specific idea in mind for what I was going to talk about in this week’s episode, but as soon as I hit record, something very different came out! When it came time to give it an actual title, the only thing I could think of was, well, it’s kind of a mash-up of a few different things so I’ve decided to roll with exactly that- a combination episode of a few different things all rolled into one! Here’s a brief snapshot… ⭐️ The role of social and systemic frameworks and their influence on us “doing the work” ⭐️ Why comfort isn’t the goal (I go into this one in quite a lot of detail!) ⭐️ The joy of movement and the role of movement-based practices in my work I hope you enjoy it! 

A Mash Up Session: On Comfort Not Being The Goal, The Joy Of Movement & Grounding In The Midst Of Social Pressure

The Confident Rider Podcast is for big-hearted equestrians looking to create meaningful relationships with their horses.

My work explores nervous system support through movement, education, and biomechanics, and helps riders transform into responsive, adaptable, and confident horse people, living their dreams with their horses.

Join me to explore the wisdom of our body & mind, through personal stories and conversations with other riders out there creating their best riding life.

 "When the old patterns arise, I will dissent. When life convinces me, it is something to be endured rather than enjoyed, I will dissent. And I will show up here, and I will write about it, as a reminder to those wanting to hold hands and do the same." ❤️ Jane www.confidentrider.online

When Things Don't Go To Plan: A Reminder To Let Yourself Be New

There’s a beautiful phrase that I hold gently in my hands, that I’ve adopted as one of my mottos for living.  "Birds coast when they can".  Every time I say it out loud to myself, I’m met with the glorious vision of a bird in flight, that proves these words to be true. Birds coast where they can is a reminder to let yourself be supported.  A reminder to look for opportunities for ease, and where you, yourself, may be complicating things in a way that isn’t necessary. Doing too much for what is required.  Where are the opportunities for you to coast?  How can you allow yourself to be carried?  And what are all the ways you argue against allowing this to be the case? xx Jane  www.confidentrider.online

Birds Coast When They Can

Peeps, I'm back with one of my favourite humans, the most loveliest Kathy Price! Kathy and I are teaching a workshop together this weekend, and in our pre-workshop prep decided we could scoop the cream off the top of our conversation and sit down and chatter with you on the podcast.  Over the course of our meandering conversation, we talk about:  The evolution of our work and business The principles that we follow that inform our life and work The application of energy and intention to our decision making processes  We hope you enjoy it! If you want to join us for our workshop, you can sign up here: https://confidentrider.online/stepping-into-lightness/ And if you want to get in touch with Kathy, you can find her here: https://kathyprice.co.uk/ Happy listening! ❤️ Jane (and Kathy!)

Chattering with Kathy Price: Evolution, Intention & The Planless Plan

The possibilities for your horse to move functionally and in a way that promotes health and wellness exist only within the range that he is balanced; our job as riders, then, is not only to facilitate balance in them in order that they can carry us without compromising themselves, and to ensure that our balance point matches theirs. The area of study that I’ve involved myself in is really interested in the movement of the fascial trains and the path of movement that the body follows when it is in the parasympathetic, or not in fight flight. The key element that we pay attention to is the movement of the centreline and the arc that the centreline follows to produce healthy movement patterns. In this episode, we discuss movement patterns and their relationship to the nervous system: how your nervous system manifests in movement, why understanding movement pathways is important and how we can use that knowledge to create ways of moving and riding that optimise harmony and health. I hope you enjoy it! If you want to learn and explore more, we expand on these understandings in my membership program JoyRide. You can learn more by visiting www.confidentrider.online/joyride. Enjoy! ❤️ Jane
