On the podcast today I had the chance to chat with Peter Gisborn. Peter is a professional rider and coach that was born into the equestrian industry following the footsteps of multiple generations in his family. We covered topics such as his approach when it comes to what makes a successful rider, the fundamental basics he likes to instil in young horses, the structure of his personal business, the service areas of the industry he likes to focus on and much more. Peter has had great success in his own career and also enjoys coaching his students at the national level. I really appreciated hearing Peter's opinions on some common areas of interest because he brought some new perspectives to the table. This was a great episode and I cannot wait for you guys to hear it!

We had to chance to cover some hot topics such as equine ulcers, bone and joint health and development, metabolic horses and more. I asked Scott's opinion on how environments can truly affect our horses' health, and he left us with some great pieces of advice regarding the way horse owners can make small changes with big impacts. We also discussed what proper body condition really should look like, and how supplementing for behavioural issues can at times become an issue in and of itself. There were so many interesting areas of conversation surrounding nutrition and our horse's health in general - I can't wait for you guys to hear this episode!

Today on the podcast I chat with Holly Evans of London, Ontario. Holly has been in the saddle since before she could walk with many years of experience as a professional hunter/jumper rider and coach. We spoke about the importance of positive reinforcement, encouraging relaxation in young horses that are learning, training with release and reward - among many other things. We also discussed her experience growing a family and dealing with both the external and internal pressures of pregnancy in the horse world. Holly gives excellent advice on how to conquer imposter syndrome plus some words of wisdom when it comes to confidence issues in the tack.

Hi friends! Today on the podcast I had a wonderful conversation with Sarah Johnstone of Wingberry Farms in Southern Ontario. Sarah has had her foot in the competition ring since she was a child and has many successes as a junior and young professional. I had the absolute privilege of learning how she manages her high level horses, approaches training youngsters, values rider fitness, produces quality students and more. 

One of the themes that kept coming up throughout our discussion was how Sarah pays great attention to all of the equestrians around her. She gives valuable advice for those looking to pursue a career in the industry and shares some of the best words of wisdom she's received from a few of her many mentors. 

These 6 habits definitely changed the way that I ride, especially when it comes to my equitation. I hope that these are as helpful for you as they have been for me! Remember, practice makes perfect.
