Interview with Douglas Jones.
I was very pleased when Douglas agreed to do an interview with me. He's such a lovely big hearted soul and it was great to chat with him.

We first met at one of the summer horse camps I attended as an equine communicator.  Since then we have become friends, albeit at a distance, we have stayed in touch from time to time.

He is a kind gentle soul with a passion for his work.
So sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this fun, enlightening and informative  episode.  

Douglas Jones.
Douglas has been riding since the age of 5 and being from a large family his parents were unable to afford a pony so he begged, borrowed and worked for rides on any and every horse he could.  Usually this meant the trickiest, naughtiest and most stubborn animals were his mount and so developed a reputation for successful training of an getting results from the most difficult of horses which has continued throughout his career

Competitively Douglas has had success in pure dressage competing up to advanced medium, showjumping to 1.30m level and eventing to intermediate level. Some highlights of his career have been to win the BUSA National equestrian championship whilst at university; representing GB on the student games teams; producing and competing and winning national championships on the leading coloured stallion in the uk for 3 years running and even being (as a junior) a successful carriage driving competitor winning Junior Whip at Cirencester Driving Trials more years ago than he cares to admit!

He's also lectured at two leading equestrian colleges, managed large competition yards and trained clients in all disciplines from beginners right through to national championship level riders. He is an selector and trainer for various riding clubs and pony clubs for both area and national competition, Judges horse trials dressage and also is often asked to be ride judge at warmblood gradings. 

He has a calm and friendly approach to training both horses and riders and will push you to challenge your limits but will never ask you or your horse to do anything outside your capabilities. 

The psychology of the horse and rider individually and as a combination fascinates Douglas and is the reason he loves working with riders and their horses to help them achieve and hopefully exceed their goals”

Interview with Pat Cleveland and Paula Bosher.
It's always a pleasure when I get the chance to chat with Pat.  It's always such fun!

She has so much energy (which is a bonus in her line of work) that she just jumps of the screen or in this case, the audio.

I've had the pleasure of chatting with Pat on a few occasions as a guest but in this episode, we'll see how the process worked from one of her clients point of view, so that we can get a different perspective.

It gets even more interesting when you realise that the client lives in New Zealand and Pat lives in Alabama USA 

Pat is an energetic and funny lady and her conversations usually take on a world of their own.

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

Introduction:
Horses are Pat Cleveland’s life, her muses and teachers.
The power of natural balance is magic to trainers, riders and most importantly horses.

Pat started the Balanced Horse Project to document how balance solved her horse’s problems.
A series of rabbit holes lead to the influence of birth trauma developed the crooked horse’s behaviour, physical limitations and learning.

She studied with the Resonant Science Foundation, the Berkeley Psychic Institute, Cherokee Shaman, Holistic Vet, Historical symbols, earned certifications in 12 holistic therapies, and is recognised as a Universal Energetic.

People bring horses to her in Dothan Alabama where horses unwind their bodies and restore body symmetry.

Whether a Mustang or purebred, once liberated from fear and pain, they go on to live better as natural sustainable horses.

Interview with Dr Susan Fay.
I'm was so pleased to have my second interview with Dr Susan Fay.

Susan went into a little more detail on the intentions and ethics of her work and why this is so important for both horse and human.

She is such a wonderful and funny lady, I couldn't help but get a little star stuck.
I even forget an important name . . . (don't worry, it wasn't Susans!) lol 

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

Regards Ronnie

Note:
This recording was taken from a live stream with viewers asking a few questions. 
Most of the Q & A's remain in this episode but where aimed at a live audience.

Dr Susan Fay:
Are the silent yet powerful ingredients missing from most horse training techniques and riding instruction.

In her research of horsemen and women who appear to have a gift with horses, Dr. Susan Fay outlines the invisible things these equestrians do that make their interactions with horses appear effortless.

As a research scientist and life-long equestrian, Dr. Fay spent more than two decades searching for scientific explanations for why some people are able to develop seemingly spiritual relationships with horses. 

She discovered that equestrians with this gift merely know how to use their natural abilities in a way that most of us were never taught. These abilities already exist inside of each one of us, so we merely need to understand how to use them. 

But we also need to be willing to open our eyes and hearts and let go of what we believe is possible.

Interview with Andrea Pole.
I'm very pleased that I had the opportunity, to invite and interview Andrea Pole from Equine Massage Training UK.

I met Andrea while studying to qualify as an equine massage therapist on one of her equine courses back in 2018. 

I can honestly say it was an amazing experience and I was so lucky, not only to have a wonderful group of like minded people to study alongside with but also to have a passionate, hard working and very funny Tutor in the form of Andrea.
She has the biggest of hearts and she can't help but show it!

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. It's full of fun, facts and laughter as this is one thing that is never in short supply, when you spend a few hours with Andrea.

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

A Quiet Moment In The Darkness.
I often record my little short podcasts on my phone when I'm out because they're usually made in the spur of the moment and and my phone is always at hand.

This was one of those times, just as it was getting dark, I was deep in thought after listening to a wonderful soul called Nahshon Cook on one of his live posts that he makes on his fb page.

If you've never heard of Nahshon check out Warwick Schiller's "The Journey On Podcast"
episode: 19 to listen to this amazing young man.

There are so many wonderful people on his podcasts with amazing life stories.
Nahshon Cook is most definitely one of those people.

Say Yes!
A little impromptu recording I made today and although the sounds of the birds in the background were very beautiful, I decided to leave out the background noise because there was lots of other noises I'm sure you didn't need to hear . . . lol

Have you ever had someone say to you "Practice What You Preach!"
Well I'm certainly doing much more of that lately and especially with the "Say Yes" to most opportunities (even if you change your mind latter) say yes.

Have a wonderful day and I hope you enjoy this very short episode.

A Brief Explanation. 
A short explanation on why I prefer to do live interviews which I then make into podcasts.

The main reason, is that most of my equipment is set up for live interviews.

So apart from a computer and a mic, I don't have to worry about getting any extra equipment I may need, in order to record a phone interview. 

So this is the easier option for me at this time and if somethings works . . . then why change it.

I'm happy and very grateful that I'm able to connect with my guests in this way, so that I can share their passion, skills and life experiences.

Who knows, it may set of a spark within you!

Thank you for all your support and I hope you keep on listening.

Regards Ronnie

It Starts With A Thought.
This podcast is a little explanation into why, for me, it's important to act on any messages that come my way (in whatever form) and to share "pass them on"

This will become apparent as you listen to the episode.

So I hope you enjoy this little "Message" that I'm sharing with you today because as far as my work and my personal life is concerned,  this is what it's all about . . . sharing knowledge, so we can hopefully  learn from each other and be an even better version of ourselves.

Have a wonderful day!
Regards Ronnie

I wanted to share with you an answer to a question that somebody asked me back in May 2020 on a live stream on Facebook. 

This was one of the questions that came up and basically they wanted to know if I was aware of my gift, as the lady put it,  If I always knew that I could communicate with animals, communicate with horses and this was my reply.

For this reason, I thought it would be a good share on my podcast.

There was a lot of information I shared.

I was speaking off the cuff, it wasn't rehearsed, I didn't know what was going to come through and hopefully, as you listened to this episode you'll see how it actually works and have a little insight onto animal communication from my own perspective. 

I can't talk about anybody else's point of view, so this is from my own perspective. 

I hope you enjoyed this episode and if there is any questions, please feel free to drop me a line and I will happily answer them if I can. 

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

Note: 
Apologies beforehand for the sound quality but this recording was taken from a live stream that I made on my phone. 
So I hope it won't distract you from the essense of this podcast.
