Liberty is an energetically powerful, athletic connection between human and horse.  Are liberty and riding the same thing then?  Who would think such a crazy thing?  They're closer than you think.  And here's why.

Choosing positivity over negativity requires courage. Relational Horsemanship is, in part, a journey of discovering and celebrating our courage. It's a journey of positivity.

It's been a while since we've put out a podcast.  But it has been a crazy 12 months.  We've moved our home and business to a new location.  But it's incredible.

In most cases, we start at the bottom.  Building small pieces and then putting them together to form larger things.  Sometimes it's valuable to work it the opposite direction.  Let's investigate!

Our fun and upbeat intro song is Celtic Union by Terry Devine-King and Adam Drake.

Scott and Jody sit down and talk about conformation.  

Conformation is one of those words we hear tossed around in the horse world. It means different things to different folks and different disciplines.

But just how important is it? And why? Well, we have the expert here to tell us all about it.

In this episode, we welcome back Jody Schulze McMann, owner/operator of Broken Spur Equine Therapy.  Jody excels in her role as a therapeutic practitioner and mentor.  Jody and I have co-taught clinics where she has instructed in bio-mechanics.  I'm always fascinated by the depth of her knowledge.

The eye is the window to the soul.

The eye can do a thousand things that the fingers cannot.

Liberty.  A word that's synonymous with Freedom.  Liberty is also used to describe a style of connecting with a horse in such a way that they follow the handler or rider without the use of reins or other physical cues.

Horses are born experts at liberty, because they know what it's like to move in freedom.  They're also born experts at following - as the members of a herd follow a leader, and horses interact through space and energy all of their lives.

But what happens when you wake up on an abandoned cargo vessel in a remote region of space?  Well, that happened to me and my horse, Ditch.  Here's Part 1 of the story of how we survived - using Liberty work.
