Kate Pilcher is the founder of Globetrotting, a travel agency offering horse riding holidays and unique horse cultural experiences all around the world. Kate  discovered this remarkable form of travel at age 25, when she ran away from her business, her boyfriend Steven, and her mortgage in pursuit of the magic that comes with exploring new, wild places in the saddle. She worked as a horse riding guide in Kenya and Argentina, and learnt conversational Kiswahili and Spanish. When she finally returned home, Globetrotting was born. Kate considers it her true calling to share the life-changing experience of Globetrotting with as many people as possible. She and Steven - now her husband - live on Australia’s Sunshine Coast with their three girls, who often join them on guided Globetrotting rides, and an ever-growing herd of horses.

Will Rogers originally joined the podcast back in 2021, on Episode 43. Warwick gets the opportunity to re-interview Will in front of a live audience during Equitana Melbourne 2024. Will had also just recently presented at The Journey On Podcast Summit in Birmingham, England, earlier in August, so it was a great pleasure to spend more time with him in person.

Along with being a world-class Dressage trainer and rider, Will Rogers is the founder of the Espire Foundation, which promotes a way of keeping, handling, and training horses where an understanding of their nature creates a foundation for horse friendly communication. Will began working with horses in South Australia. Eventually, he made the move to the United States to pursue a career training cutting horses. After two years in America, Will traveled to Denmark to reconnect with his good friend Tristan Tucker whom he had earlier worked with in Australia. After becoming fascinated with dressage, Will’s purpose became to share ideas and seek a better understanding of horses as well as a better way to train and work with them. His aim was to open up opportunities to develop a more advanced and refined approach to training horses. Will now puts on live performances that showcase the unique partnership he creates with his horses during liberty work. In this episode, Will and Warwick discuss the self-reflective practices that allow them to be with their horses in a raw and purposeful way.

Coming to you from Equitana in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Warwick interviews Brett Parbery in front of a live audience as a part of the Equitana programming.
 
Brett Parbery was born to ride, growing up in Dorrigo, NSW, in a family deeply immersed in horse culture. His father professionally broke and trained horses, specializing in cattle horse sports like campdrafting and cutting, and Brett was involved in stable life from a young age, helping train horses before and after school. Weekends were spent competing in various equestrian activities, from campdrafting and polocrosse to pony club and agricultural shows, where Brett's passion for rodeo was ignited by watching saddle bronc riding at night-time events. Determined to become a cowboy, Brett pursued saddle bronc riding nationally and internationally from 1989 to 2000, consistently ranking among Australia’s top 20 riders. However, his love for training horses led him to transition to dressage, and in 2000, he moved to Europe to train under top professionals before returning home to establish his own stable. Over the years, Brett has excelled in dressage, representing Australia at two World Equestrian Games and earning numerous accolades, including over 30 Australian Championships and a standout 2010 season featuring an 8th-place finish at the World Games in Kentucky. With extensive training under legendary riders like Edward Gal and Ulla Salzgeber, Brett developed a horse-friendly training system, which he now shares through “Performance Riders,” an online education program co-founded with Natalie Foxon to mentor riders of all levels, guiding them from foundational skills to high performance. He lives in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales with his wife Melinda and his son Jake.

Shane Healey enlisted in the Australian Army in 1995, serving in an elite infantry parachute regiment and later as a reserve special forces soldier. After a serious back injury in 2001, he became a Royal Australian Navy Clearance Diver before returning to the Army in 2003 as a military dive instructor. From 2004 to 2008, he worked as a private military contractor in the Middle East, training Iraqi Special Forces and participating in major combat, including the second battle of Fallujah. Reenlisting in 2009, Shane served as an intelligence operator in Special Operations Command, with deployments to Afghanistan in 2010/2011 and 2012, where his threat assessments aided critical operations. He later joined the Special Operations Tactical Assault Group and provided threat advice for key international events. Shane deployed to Iraq in 2014-2015 with Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS. Since 2018, he has consulted on terrorism and extremism threat assessments and co-founded Pegasus Connections in 2023, supporting veterans through mental health programs and equine-assisted therapy.

Peta Lowe is the Principal Consultant at Phronesis Consulting and Training and a former Director of Countering Violent Extremism for Juvenile Justice in NSW. With degrees in Social Work, Business, and Terrorism and Security Studies, Peta has extensive experience in assessing and managing violent extremism risks, particularly among young people. She provides expert risk assessments and has trained professionals in using the VERA-2R risk assessment tool both nationally and internationally. Peta consults for various global organizations, including the UN, and co-authored key publications on reintegration of violent extremists. She is a regular speaker at international conferences on terrorism and violent extremism.

Pegasus Connections was founded to provide an alternative to traditional therapy and services offered to individuals and their families. It was founded with the recognition that the current services offered did not meet the needs of everyone, from the lived experience of both founders who have each experienced the broader support services paradigm. Pegasus Connections seeks to provide support and services for any individuals, families, groups or workplaces who want to utilise the unique benefits of nature and partnerships with horses to build awareness and growth.
