Louise Bach Holler is my guest on the podcast today, for a good reason! 
 
 Louise is a horse trainer and hoofcare provider certified with the AANHCP who was born in Denmark but currently lives in north east Spain. 
 
 Louise is passionate about natural horse keeping, barefoot trimming, and a training that blends food rewards with gentle pressure to fully educate and support a horse in their training in the best way possible. 
 
 She has competency in gymnastic groundwork, bitless riding, communication, body language, liberty work and much more. 
 
 Side bar, two years ago, I came into care of a Quarter horse colt named Oki.  His breeder and I have been collaborating on his slow and gradual upbringing at his original home for the last two years.  But this week, the first week of July 2024, Oki transports from one side of Spain to the other, to begin the next chapter of his life as he joins the EH herd here at my farm. 
 
 Transporting a 2 year old horse who has always lived at home across a country is a huge thing to ask of him.  So I knew I needed help. 
 
 I hired Louise 6 months ago, to be my hands, my eyes, my help to train Oki to be best prepared as possible to travel.  I am thrilled with the job she has done.  So I thought you guys might like to meet her yourself!
 
 I hope you enjoy this episode!

Continuing on the Polish guest theme from last week, my guest this week is Isabella Flemming.  Isa  is the reason I got my start with horses.  She ran the stable in Poland where I gained my beginnings as an equestrian, as a trainer and as a horseman. 
 
 Without Isabella, I would not have had access to horses at a crucial time in my life.  But not just any sort of access.  Access to horses who lived good lives, were trained and cared for well. 
 
 She is one of my mentors, my foundational teachers.  And though she doesn’t work with horses anymore, her story is one I am sure many listeners will resonate with. 
 
 I brought Isa and her daughter to my farm recently, to show Isa that her kindness, her generosity, her support was not wasted.  To show her what she helped me do in my life.  It was a full circle moment for me, and I think for her too. 
 
 If you are interested in knowing the end, look at the beginning.  Here is how I got my beginning.

In this LONG solo episode I answer all the questions I got on my social media pages about what the 2024 Spring Clinic tour was like. 

From "How do you move forward with someone who is stuck and not enjoying the clinic?"
to
"How to navigate holding space for so much energy as an introvert?" and many more, I give my honest and at times, extremely candid replies to these questions.  Giving you a hint behind the curtain of what it is like to travel overseas as a horse training clinician.

This solo episode I explore a major problem; when a horse stops moving.

Before we can implement strategies and tools for this, we need to understand WHY a horse has stopped moving.  And not all solutions to a lack of movement involve, making them move again.
