54 min - Horses that hang back at the tie post
Most of us horsefolk have seen or dealt with horses that hit the end of their lead rope and thrash, sometimes breaking trailers, halters, lead ropes, and/or themselves. Today, McKayla and I discuss some ways to help the horses that have learned this behavior, as well as how to prevent hanging back from ever happening in the first place.

56 min - Connection: It starts by looking inward with intention
Today McKayla and I discuss connecting with ourselves before we can ask our horses to connect with us. We discuss the difference between mindfulness and intention, what looking inward looks like to us, and how to avoid the guilt and shame that can come with looking inward with disappointment and judgment instead of encouragement.

46 min - Horse Training Myths BUSTED!
"You need a bigger bit! That horse is way too pushy on the bit."
"Do this quick-fix and your horse will be fixed in a day!"
"Let the trainer ride your naughty horse. Horse trainers will ride anything!"
Have you ever heard any phrases like these? Today, McKayla and I bust a few myths about horse trainers and horse training. We hope this episode is helpful for those who want to know more about the realities of training, and that it isn't quite like the 3-day colt starting challenges you see on TV or social media.༺ 𝓒𝓪𝓶𝓻𝓲 ༻Links:

1 hr 3 min - Working with what we have, and taking control of our circumstances
This week, McKayla and I discuss the ways that, as humans and horse owners, we can work against ourselves or our horses. We also counter that with ways to work with what we have: everything from simply changing the way we speak to ourselves, to finding our strengths, embracing our "weaknesses", and so much more!

In today's episode, McKayla and I decide to dive into some "get-to-know-you" questions. McKayla and I know each other pretty well in some regards, but in others ways we are at a loss. We ask each other some fun questions to get to know more about our each other. We hope our listeners enjoy getting to know us with some of the "first-date" type questions we ask.
