Interview with Steve Halfpenny.
I'm very pleased to announce an interview with Steve Halfpenny.
I came across Steve many years ago on YouTube while doing a little research on gentle horsemanship. I bought a few of his light hands video tutorials (tapes, not cd's so that shows how long ago it was) I loved his approach and manner with the horses he worked with.

I hope you enjoy  listening to this interesting and exciting view into the world of Steve Halfpenny at Light Hands Equitation.
I loved our conversation and the surprise was I wasn't expecting it to go the way it did, which was a real treat.

So sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this episode, as much as I did recording it.

Steve's Halfpenny.
Steve Halfpenny is the founder of Light Hands Equitation and Light Hands Horsemanship Program.

He travels extensively delivering clinics in Australia, NZ and UK and His specialist style of training is not discipline specific and can easily be applied to any form of riding.  Steve has proven that with the right training, any horse can be a relaxed and willing riding partner.

Steve's  key focus has been to find an easier way for the horse and rider to communicate, creating simpler ways of explaining horsemanship to people, so that they can better understand the horse’s intrinsic nature rather than simply delivering a rote training program.

This technique is not only effective for dressage and  competition, but is also highly beneficial for anyone looking to build their horse’s gymnastic ability, create softness in their horse and improve communication between themselves and their equine partners.

Interview with Ginny Jablonski.
I'm very pleased and excited to announce an interview with Ginny Jablonski.
Ginny is a renowned animal communicator, healer, author and so much more.
This was one of those "enlightening" interviews, that may take you to places that are hard to go and will certainly make you think in a slightly different way.
It was very interesting (and sometimes deep) but a very informative conversations with a very special lady.

So sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this episode.

Ginny Jablonski.
In 2001 Ginny retired from a career in international security to focus on resolving emerging medical issues. In 2012 she suffered a near death experience when Fentanyl, a prescription opioid medication, caused her lungs to stop working. After this event she began to see, sense, and feel energies in very dramatic ways for which she had no intellectual context. She was certain of one thing only: If she wanted to understand what was happening to her she needed to live, and that meant discontinuing all prescription medication. In her desire to regain control over her own health and well-being, she eagerly pursued alternative therapies and began educating herself in esoteric philosophies.

Well into her own journey, Ginny began her intuitive healing career focusing on humans. As time passed, she became spontaneously aware of the animals in her clients' lives as well. They frequently presented themselves in her human sessions with messages and healing requests. This contact piqued her interest and caused her to remember the animals' message from her NDE asking her to return. As a result, she began to shift her educational focus to animal specific healing techniques and animal communication. 

Ginny's primary goal is to promote interspecies evolution and the evolution of consciousness awareness on our planet.

Interview with Matthias Geysen.
I was very excited to have the opportunity to have Matthias Geysen as a guest on my live podcast.
I came across Matthias while doing some research and saw a video of him riding his stallion at liberty, through the mountains of Montana. 
I was interested in his background so I asked him if he would like to be a guest and happily he said yes.

Of course we'll be talking about his live with horses but also the work he's done in his personal life, regarding his own intuitive development.

English is not Matthias native tongue but he still managed to get his message across and I found the conversation both interesting and enlightening.
So sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this episode.

Matthias Geysen.
I am someone who likes to explore and expand my boundaries and limitations.
I seek to understand the essence of life. Our personality and individuality as well as our position in the global movement.
What is the reason for our existence and what is it that makes us thrive in this world?

From a young age, I have been interested in unravelling the mysteries of life and sharing these insights with other people.
I realized that we all are actually chasing the same dream, but that we all have to follow our own path in getting there.

For the past 10 years I have been a professional horse trainer which enabled me to explore the world, explaining the life lessons horses taught me over the years.
I have recently moved on to focus on a new adventure and I'm now at a point in my life in which I would like to share my new knowledge with you.

Interview with Crissi McDonald and Mark Rashid.
I'm so excited! I asked Crissi a while ago if she would like to join me for a chat. 
She's been so busy with clinics and travel so it wasn't easy to fix a date but I'm happy to confirm we've finally recorded our session.
As an added bonus, Mark kindly agreed to join us both as a guest too . . . how lovely is that!

Two wonderful very successful individuals in their own right.

I was so looking forward to chatting with Crissi and Mark and I wasn't disappointed.
Crissi and Mark brought both knowledge and laughter to our conversation and they were happy to answer a few questions from the viewers who joined the live too.

Two very special guests who are not only down to earth but also have a wealth of knowledge individually, as well as combined.
So sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this episode.

Crissie McDonald.
Growing up she was most motivated when the work she did would earn her time with horses: lessons, mucking stalls in trade for a ride on a friend’s horse, babysitting to earn enough money for lessons, seeking out and finding horses where ever she could. Little did she know that all this time spent doing work would also be teaching her as well.  She was certified as an instructor through the CHA when she was twenty and got her first horse at twenty-four years old. Three more followed within two years.

She's had the pleasure to participate in western riding, working cattle, leading trail rides, managing large herds, showing in Hunt Seat Equitation and Dressage, taking jumping lessons, and has spent over thirty years working with many different breeds of horses and people from all over the world, as well as having the opportunity to learn from some of the horse industry's top leaders in our current understanding of humane horse practices.

Crissi enjoys teaching at clinics with her husband Mark Rashid. She's a certified Masterson Method® equine bodyworker since 2017 and is also an instructor for the Masterson two-day Beyond Horse Massage workshops. Crissi is the author of three books, two about the human/equine bond. Her other book, North to Home, is a fiction novel.

Mark Rashid.
Mark Rashid is an internationally known author and horseman known for his ability to understand the horse’s point of view and solve difficult problems with communication rather than force. He began working with horses at age ten, when he met the “old man,” who taught him to work with horses, not against them, and to listen to what the horse is trying to say. Mark’s clinics are structured as one-on-one work with horses and riders and are immensely popular with people around the world.

When Mark decided to study the martial art of aikido as a way to improve his horsemanship, he brought the same quiet determination to it that he exhibits in his work with horses. After years of practice, he has earned a third degree black belt in Yoshinkan aikido and now teaches the “way of harmony” in the local dojo as well as in his Aikido for Horseman workshops, which are known also by the name of “Aibado.”

The Sounds of Horses Snoozing (amongst other sounds too!)
A recording of a very short impromptu meditation I made yesterday.
(First I have to say the actual meditation part may not be as relaxing as I hoped and that's nothing to do with the end part)  

I was sat with the horses (with a flask of tea) in their shelter, watching the rain fall and listening to the soothing sounds.

I found it very relaxing while recording this myself and also very amusing, which you will discover as to why towards the end.

Rather than spoil the moment, listen to the whole meditation and let me know if it made you smile.

It certainly did me and as I was feeling a little disappointed for other reasons, this certainly changed my moodset, which in my line of work, it was certainly meant to do.
(No such thing as coincidences, however they may seem)

Have a wonderful day and thank you for listening.
Regards Ronnie  

Note: 
The quality is better before I uploaded and listen back on my phone. It has more of an even sound throughout, however when uploaded the software changes it slightly by quieting  the background sound over the voice and increasing the other sounds in places, which doesn't quite have the same effect but you get the essence of the recording.

Interview with Andrea Wady - Crossing Bridges.
I'm very excited to announce an interview with Andrea Wady.

I came across a facebook post introducing Andrea's new book and after reading a short extract, I knew this was a lady I would love to hear more about.

We chatted about their amazing adventure in costa rica, alongside one of her companions Elsa Sinclair and equally as amazing their two rescue horses. We also discussed her journey to being a liberty coach trainer and any plans she may have for the future.

I hope you enjoy my chat with Andrea, as she shares a little insight into her journey with horses, from all walks of life.

So sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this episode.

Andrea Wady - Crossing Bridges.
Now more than ever the Spirit of Adventure is a much needed tonic, like the beautiful bright orange sun climbing over the back hedge outside my window, it is awakening and shaking its tail feathers.

I can feel it calling to me now, it’s time to explore again. Moving home from 18 years in Costa Rica, nursing a sick relative to end of life, and of course the pandemic rather abruptly moved my wandering spirit into repose. But like everything in life, it goes full circle and change is once more coming. I feel myself stretch up and out, ready to embrace a new chapter in life. Do you feel the change in the air?  A planet of beautiful people once more wanting to experience life to the full.

When I left the UK twenty years ago for a vacation in Costa Rica, from which I never returned, I had no idea what an incredible roller coaster of a ride it would be. Sometimes there was WAY too much adventure, sometimes I was overwhelmed by fear, sometimes there was SO much joy I felt I could have bottled it 1000 times over and had plenty to spare. In short, it was the most glorious experience of my life. The pandemic changed all that of course, and as myself and my husband climbed onto an evacuation flight and headed home to the UK to care for family, I don’t mind admitting that I feared adventure would be in very short supply. The first winter back in England, as the world was still locked down, I felt so stagnant! I could hardly lift my feet from the mire. I had to change something, I was yearning for adventure, but I didn’t know what.

I have long learnt to be open to opportunity and know it rarely comes in the way we expect it. I felt so restless, I couldn’t sleep, so at 5am on a frozen white November morning I wrapped myself in a blanket and crunched across the grass to my writing hut. My tropical blood, recoiling at the cold, promptly abandoned my toes and hid deep inside my body. Reaching the relative warmth of the shed, I truthfully had no idea where to start. I held a steaming cup of tea and sat in front of a blank screen. It happened of course, I just started typing and words started to fill my page, I felt the incredible flow state descend like mist around me. In all honesty, I don’t feel like I wrote the words of my book, sure it was my fingers that were on the keyboard, but I finally understood there are stories out there waiting to be told, they just need to find someone to open enough to let them flow through them, that is how it felt for me.

I should never have doubted the universe!

I'm very excited to announce an interview with Dr Sam fielding
I recently came across Sam on a Warwick Schiller podcast were she was a guest.

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of his podcast because of the insight and knowledge that is shared to everyone who listens, not only to help our horses but to help ourselves too.
I was so struck by Sam that I sent her a private message saying thank you for sharing her story.

I hope you enjoy listening to this very vibrant and interesting lady who wants to shares with us, a little insight into her fascinating world.
So sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this episode.

Dr Sam Fielding.
Dr Sam is an Ivy league educated Dr of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Growing up in a family of orthopedic surgeons, she found her way to acupuncture, through her life long passion for horses.

Growing up in Maryland, Sam rode hunters, jumpers, and event horses as well as worked professionally for steeplechase and timber racehorse trainers. All she wanted to do was to ride professionally, but with zero support from her family in a career as a pro rider, she chose to go to vet school instead.

As life will do, she quickly realized that being a vet wasn’t the life for her, and began a decades long journey of “following the crumbs” to a life that she could never have imagined.

From a horse obsessed kid straight out of college, to a becoming a professional skier in 5 years from a pretty mediocre beginner, the love of the amazing rides she chased in her youth, became a life filled with following her bliss, in whatever life provided. And that meant over two decades away from horses full time.

After a debilitating struggle with PPD, after the birth of her first daughter, struggling from suicide, she found her way back to a life she thought she’d never experience again with the help of horses.

It has become her life’s work to share her understanding of how we shape the worlds we live in through the power of our minds. And firmly believes that all lovers of horses share a unique gift in our connection to horses. She shares her perspective on the power of our connection to horses and its purpose to help us heal as individual humans, and from there expand our compassion to help heal not only our communities, but also heal the world.
“It all starts with each of us, in our own minds - Dr Sam

Interview with Kathy Price - Point of Balance
I'm pleased to announce an interview with Kathy Price and her guest's.
Although I've interviewed Kathy before on her own, as well as along side another amazing lady, on this occasion she will be accompanied by two client's, who experienced Kathy's work and can talk about it from their  own perspective.
I hope you enjoy this episode of fun, facts and laughter.

Kathy Price.
From a very young age horses have been THE passion in Kathy’s life. Even though Kathy grew up in the suburbs of London with totally a non-horsey family, somehow the love of the horse was always the most powerful thing in her life.

Kathy comes from a scientific background gaining a BSc (Hons) degree in Zoology. Her mindset then was always based on the scientific paradigm of you had to be able to “measure it, replicate it and explain it” for it to be true. If those criteria where in place Kathy was happy. If they weren’t she didn’t want to know.

That was until in 2003 when with her horse Midnight she went to a horsemanship clinic with clinician Len Judd. For her this clinic was the moment of transformation, a spiritual experience that changed her life.

From that weekend forward as she stepped into and embraced the world of energy and connection, her need for scientific explanation fell away and her mind set became
“My experience is my Truth.”

Now nearly 20 years on, after many years of studying energy, quantum physics, healing, spirituality and training in several energetic modalities, Kathy is well-established in her work which she calls Point of Balance.

Through this purely energetic work her aim is to help the person or animal she is working with move back into balance at all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
This move back to balance not only helps them to heal themselves, but also helps them realise their unique power and potential.

Kathy knows categorically that is the horse that has not only led her to the wonderful people around her today, but also continues to lead her into deeper and deeper insights of the fundamental aspects of this World and indeed The Universe, namely energy and connection.

Kathy’s work is carried out in person and at distance and she is blessed and grateful to have clients both people and animals, all over the world.

Welcome Francis to our little family.
I'm so happy to share a little about Toots new field companion.  
In the short time she's been here, Francis has already shown so much of her wonderful little character.

She settled in well and it wasn't long before the two of them were side by side. 

This is a short episode explaining how Francis came my way and what happened when she arrived.  

I'm so happy for Toots,  she finally has a field companion once again, as I know she missed her dear old  field family member (as do I) but she will never be forgotten.
Sweet lady Onyx . . . forever in our hearts.

Interview with Carla Bauchmueller - The Intuitive Rider
I am very pleased to announce an interview with Carla Bauchmueller from California USA.

Carla uses her intuitive and professional skills to help horse and rider connect on a deeper level by listening to each individual and developing exercise specifically for each person and horse to aid them in their mindset.

It was interesting to hear how her love of horses when she was a child, has developed into the career she has carved out for herself and continues to do so.

Join us both in an informal chat about Carla's life, love and our mutual passion for horses.

So sit back , relax and I hope you enjoy this episode.

Carl Bauchmueller.
I am passionate about helping women over 40 to be able to connect to their horses on a soul level, in the saddle and on the ground.

What I find is that they are sometimes afraid of their horse and don’t understand what their horse want to tell them. What they really want is to truly connect and spend harmonious and fear-free time with their horse.

I help these riders find a safe, balanced and well-coordinated seat, so that they can find subtle communication and deep connection with their horse when riding.

I help them to understand themselves better – physically, mentally, and emotionally – so that they can connect with their horse on a deeper level, and become The Intuitive Rider they and their horse want them to be.

My goal is to develop individual solutions which make learning fun and enjoyable for both, horse and rider, independent of discipline and level of experience.
