Episode 66: I took a recent sabbatical to study the concept of pressure and release. What I learned was that there is a huge difference between moving away from pressure versus going toward softness. Both approaches might seem like they get to the same goal. But they each have very different ways of HOW you reach the goal — whether you only move away from pressure (a negative) or whether you actively seek something positive (softness). This is true for both people and horses. How you get to the goal is just as important (maybe even more important) than reaching the goal itself.

Episode 65: Cowboy clinicians taught me that grit and refinement go hand in hand. Horsemanship is the art of balance — yin and yang. As Buck Brannaman once said, “Gentle in what you do. Firm in how you do it.” This lesson was profound for me — and kept me safe years later while working with a troubled horse.

Episode 63: The ONE key to horsemanship – do you know what it is? If you’re like many horse people, you’re always on the lookout for it. The secret tip, the ultimate hack, the one thing you MUST know. Social media marketing and sponsored ads are full of “the one thing” and the “amazing secret” that you can get by just clicking the link (and buying the advertised service).The trouble is that there are SO many of those “secret tips” – how do you know if you’re buying the right one?

I ‘m here to help. I’m going to share the ONE real key you need to know. Ready? There is NO one thing. There are no shortcuts or amazing hacks in horsemanship. You just have to take the time to study and practice horsemanship consistently. Not with big dramatic activities once a month or twice a year. But instead with small daily actions that steadily increase your knowledge and skill.

It’s called the compound effect. It’s how horses learn, people change and new patterns develop.The compound effect is the strategy of reaping huge rewards from small, seemingly insignificant actions. Small choices + consistency + time = significant results. Simple. Not easy. But always rewarding (in the long run).

Episode 61: I had a long and twisted horsemanship journey, starting as an adult beginner.  With time and good teachers (mostly horses), I eventually became a trainer and a coach. But I never forgot where I came from.  That’s why I started the Horse Wise  podcast -- to share my personal study of horsemanship. And to interview people who know more about it than me. The podcast now has listeners in all 50 states – AND 59 countries outside the US! People tell me all the time how much they enjoy the podcast. And they always want to know more. This got me thinking.

What if there was a way that people could ask follow-up questions to my guests -- and get mini-lessons on specific podcast topics? All organized in a simple format, easy to follow and keep up with.

I got so excited about this idea that I’m starting a new study circle! On June 1, 2021, I’ll be launching Horse Wise Scholars group, which will be a monthly subscription. It will include monthly horsemanship goal (based on podcast episode), along with weekly exercises, demos, private Q&A with podcast guests and more.
