  • Horses that are like dogs, Farrier nightmares, Barefoot vs Shod, and Much More!

    Both of us have had some pretty intense stories and experiences around taking care of our horses’ feet. From farrier nightmares, to almost miracle cures we want to share it all with you.


    DISCLAIMER: Neither Camri nor McKayla are professional farriers or trimmers, make sure you consult with your own farrier and vet before trying new methods.

  • Melding Positive Reinforcement and Natural Horsemanship training styles
    What exactly is positive reinforcement? Is negative reinforcement a bad thing? Can the two be used together, or are they mutually exclusive? We answer these questions and discuss how shifting from strictly pressure and release (negative reinforcement), to using a little R+ (positive reinforcement) has helped us find more willingness in our equines and how much fun the "Yes" is. McKayla and Camri have only started diving into positive reinforcement within the last couple years, so if you have a deeper insight into positive reinforcement or blending R+ and R-, please email us at the link below and we can bring you on the podcast for an interview.

    **Disclaimer on this book: Camri doesn't like it in relation to trauma. When applied to the 'small' things in life, it is much more useful and relevant.**

  • Connecting with our horses, trailer safety, and trainer fan girling
    Crazy adventures with dump trucks and screaming chickens. 
    We go into one of our favorite topics: Energy work! 
    Camri began as a bit of a skeptic with the "woo-woo", and she discusses the books that helped her fully embrace the "woo." McKayla shares with us how she was introduced to using energy with horses from a very young age. We share the connection between the science and the woo, and we challenge the idea of, "If you get bucked off, you have to get back on!" We go through letting go of our ego and having Compassion, using Communication vs control, and how Connection is the holy grail of horsemanship.
    **Disclaimer** We have better microphones within the next couple episodes, so stick with us through the glitches ;)**

  • Happy New Year 2023!
    McKayla and I discuss handling stress in our lives, as well as what our new year's resolutions are. We talk about our past experiences of goal setting and what we have found to be the most successful ways to set targets in our lives that are realistic and attainable, but also make us want to throw up a little ;).

  • Colt starting, connection-based horsemanship, and coping with grief

    We delve into cohost Camri's story today. She tells all about her transition from city girl to country girl, learning to overcome perfectionism and fear of failure, starting her own colt starting business, evolving her program to involve more communication and connection work, how horses helped her heal through the loss of her mother, and how her husband helped her to continue colt starting when she almost gave it up.
