If you are like Jordan and Ruby, you love horses more than anything. You're committed to the lifestyle, your horse's welfare, and always learning more. There are more and more of us out there all the time. But the industry still doesn't have much support for us. Most training programs are geared toward competition in a particular discipline, leaving those of us with less show ring aspirations without much support. 

In this episode, we discuss what we can do to find that support, and what the industry can do develop it. Join us for our last conversation of season 1, but don't worry, season two will be out soon with even more interviews, thought provoking content, and laughs from the Whole Scoop team.

If you're ready for a perspective change or mindset shift with your horses, whether you are a hobby rider or professional, this episode is for you. We cover so many important topics, from anthropomorphism (what is and what it isn't), how anxiety can be a benefit to you as a horseman, and understanding the emotional relationship between horses and humans. There are tons of amazing nuggets in this episode, and we are proud to be sharing it with you.

While Jordan and our producer Maddy enjoy time staring at wall, our horses don't always feel the same. Did you know that horses only sleep 3.5 hours a day? Our domestic horses then spend 4-6 hours eating, and maybe an hour or two with us on a ride. That leaves 14 hours a day for.... vices, getting into trouble, destroying their fly mask, etc. Enrichment is the idea of building natural behaviors into your horse's life through habitat, cognition, sensory experiences, food, and toys to help keep them entertained and healthy.

In this episode, Jordan and Ruby share their thoughts on the idea that nothing is ever the horse's fault. Horse behavior either stems from behavior that they think we want from them, or behavior that they believe will keep them safe. Stories are shared about "difficult" horses and the discoveries of their pain, confusion, or other misunderstandings, and the resolution of those issues.

Bodywork is becoming more and more popular in the horse world. It is great for performance horses and backyard ponies alike, and can help with mobility, athleticism, and pain management. Jordan is working to become certified in The Masterson Method, and shares her knowledge and experiences with this modality. 

Hosted by Jordan Holbrook and Ruby Doss. Produced by Madeline Grass Doss. Music by Wild Iris.

When we happily spend our every spare moment with our horses instead of taking some rest, our extra cash on the highest quality hay instead of dinner with friends, or all of energy riding and cleaning stalls at the expense of our relationships, it's time to examine our horse-life balance. 

In this episode, Jordan and Ruby explore what horse-life balance is, how to achieve it, and if it is even necessary. Plus we'll laugh at some of the weirdest things we have ever done for our horses. No topic is off the table. Join us for our very first full length episode of The Whole Scoop with Jordan Holbrook and Ruby Doss, produced by Madeline Doss Music.
