In today’s podcast Kate goes solo (don’t worry Becky will be back next time!) with Annika O’Kane author of The Pretty Pony Once Said: A Heart-warming Rhyming tale about the Nature of Horses for Children - ideal Book for Kids who Love Animals!
Kate talks to Annika about her 40+ years in the industry and where her inspiration came from for her book. We also chat about the importance of this book in the movement toward educating children and young adults to understand horse behaviour. We go onto discuss how through this understanding children and young adults can stay safer.
As always, an enthusiastic conversation follows with a few tangents.
We finish up looking to the future and discuss some ideas Annika has for her next book! It was an absolute pleasure to have Annika on the podcast and we look forward to having her with us again!

Welcome back! It's been a while :)
In this episode Becky chats to the fabulous Sarah Johnson one of Little Green Stables valued Patreons about horse agility. Sarah lives in Switzerland with Kenda her horse who is of a similar age to Becky's Rum.
Becky has just started training agility with Rum and all this training and more can be found over on the Patreon site. Sarah and Becky discuss the obstacles, how beneficial they can be for both humans and horses and how agility training can really suit R+ and clicker trainers.
This is just Part 1 and Sarah and Becky wanted it to be an informal chat from lay trainers about how they find adding in Agility for their equines.
For Part 2 Becky and Sarah are joined by Kate Blackmore from Equilogical and Equischolars and Trudi Dempsey: Equine Trainer and Behaviour Consultant to help break down the obstacles, chain them, train them, adding stimulus and all the details that we know we need them for.
Hope you enjoy and please don't forget to share, like and subscribe.
We had so much to say about Sweetitch that we needed a part 2! We chat with the awesome Maisie and Vicki about how they manage their horses Skylark and Stevie with Sweetitich.
We agreed that we all support our horses slightly differently within different environments. There doesn't seem to be one way, being supportive of each other and giving each other ideas, helps.
Kate and Becky will be back monthly with podcasts but you can catch up with us in between on Social Media: Little Green Stables and Equilogical. You can find all our training content on: Patreon/littlegreenstables
Well Kate and Becky are back! We won't be weekly but we are back and on this podcast we are joined by the fantastic Maisie Wake and Vicki Honer talking all things Sweetitch.
Both Maisie and Vicki have horses that suffer so we chat about how we manage our horses through the months where Sweetitch is so very tricky.
We covered lots but ran out of time, so keep a listen out for part 2!
It's great to be back.
Don't forget you can find us on social media: Little Green Stables and Equischolors.
All our training content and so much more is over on our Patreon channel for just £10 per month: Patreon/littlegreenstables
Today we are joined by Immy, (a student of EquiScholars) and Claire, Thrive Practitioner and Immy's mentor from the Conquest Centre.
15 year old Immy is one of the original Equischolars and tell us about how she got into horses, how she learnt and then dealt with relearning! As an avid rider, a knowledge in equine behaviour has changed the way in which she looks at common behaviours and now asks what is happening, rather than an interpretation of the situation.
Claire give us some great insight into the importance of connecting with our learners (both horse and human) and how this is the first step in being able to do vital equine therapy work.
We thoroughly enjoyed chatting and feeling all the positive vibes for our future stewards of the horse!
Today we talk about how we can further our training and learning with our equines when the weather is against us. This week in the UK we have been hit with snow, wind and rain which makes it difficult to spend time and work with our horses but do not fear, there are always things we can do. Maybe doing nothing is actually what you need to do with your horse right now, maybe some enrichment might be needed for a shut down horse or maybe some basic husbandry skills.
Whatever it may be, take a listen we hope you enjoy!
For the first time in a while it is just Kate and Becky! It's been a long time since we have caught up properly as we've been busy bees!
We review our guests so far this year who have all been so fabulous! Becky talks about her recent holiday and the challenges we face when leaving our animals in the care of others and what happens when something goes wrong.
Becky lets us know about the books she has caught up on and some interesting discussions on octupae/octopusses?
It's a very light hearted conversation this week with the predicted tangents of course...
