Poles, Piaffe and Prosecco

It’s not often that you find yourself having to say, ‘neuroplasticity’ multiple times, but Katie found it far easier after a few tack room tipples! Today, she and Tania get scientific with Oxford University’s Professor Sanjay Manohar. Sanjay is an author, an MRC Clinician Scientist Fellow, an Associate Professor and an Honorary Consultant Neurologist, and he joins us to talk about how our brains work and how we learn. We find out if we can create cheats in our neural pathways to help us remember tricky dressage tests! 

Tania talks bending and strong horses, and Katie still can’t say neuro plasticity…

Natural horsemanship and bridleless riding has enjoyed a huge boom in recent years, and today we are chatting with Mia Rodley and Georgie Woods on how you get started, how you teach your horse to go bridleless and the benefits it brings. It’s a whole different way of educating both yourself and your horse, and we hope you enjoy our conversation. 

Katie gives you honest feedback on this week’s tack room tipple, and Tania talks muscle, tilts and disengagement.

On the pod today we continue to look at how we learn. We’re coming from a different angle today, and we’re looking at formal training routes and how riding schools help with equestrian education. Today we chat with Anne Clarke from the Association of British Riding Schools. 

Tania talks motor biking, newly backed horses and busy warm ups and Katie makes sure her hot seat is comfortable with a tack room tipple.

It’s a new month on the pod, and another really interesting theme that we are investigating. We are spending all of October finding out how we learn and how our horses learn. It’s a huge and fascinating subject, and we hope you’ll enjoy the journey with us.

In today’s pod, we are chatting with Alice Oppenheimer about her TRT-inspired method of training horses. How does it work, what are the benefits and how has it changed her approach to her horses? We loved chatting with Alice, and there were lots of ‘Huh’ moments. 

Tania talks about learning dressage test, cantering in a two-point position and improving medium canter, while Katie takes one for the team with this week’s tack room tipple.

Richard Davison is a pod favourite, so we were delighted to chat with him at the Defender Burghley Horse Trials. He was suspicious of our questions at first, but soon warmed up to share his memories of his early equestrian days and to chat about how much the sport has changed. Always insightful and always knowledgable, make sure you grab a tack room tipple to enjoy while you listen to Richard. 

Tania enjoys our Defender Burghley tipple, as Katie makes sure her hot seat is nice and warm.

Welcome back to the pod! We hope you had a fabulous summer. We've been busy planning a great series for you, kicking off today with two pod favourites: Pammy and Pippa Hutton. Pammy and Pippa talk about the old days, and we compare the difference between horse management techniques, training and technology between then and now. It's always a lively chat with Pammy and Pippa, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording this for you.

British Equestrian’s Rebecca Gibson joined Katie and Tania in the podroom at the National Equine Show to talk about how British Equestrian are promoting their campaigns, including how horses save HM Treasury £1.5bn a year! As we had her, we also posed the podfire questions to Rebecca, and her answer to our question on what she believed was the biggest threat to equestrian sports was insightful!  Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/5gCKvNq5eYWC2QfHW8w6Vj?si=VWPegJUlQ9-v7ye-NGdn4g
