  • 16. Quiet practice is not real practice

    Send us Fan Mail

    Thank you dear listeners for your 500 plays last week - proud to be a part of your tribe.

    Please join me in this episode where I talk about and elaborate somewhat on the subject of practicing in a quiet area.

    Where it might have benefits for us, it probably has zero benefits for the horse!
    If you are curious about what I mean, then please have a listen ♥

  • 15. HOW to get good with horses

    Send us Fan Mail

    Tune in to hear some of the secrets 'how to get good with horses' plus also a little story how I came up with the name and stuff like that!

    Our horses are a direct reflection of who we are, what we do, what our skill set and experience is. 
    If that does not improve, the horse will not. 
    Go ahead a buy a new horse but pretty soon it will start to look like that last. 
    I call this the 'default'!

    Horses either default to what they think is the correct thing to do or the owners default to the level of where their knowledge is at. 

    Things can only get good (or great) when the knowledge is fed and practiced enough to become normal and stopping us and our horses from defaulting to the old things we do not want or need anymore ♥

  • 14. A day in the life of a Shetland owner

    Send us Fan Mail

    Benny - he is my little (big) guy where in this episode I share with you some of our day-today interactions with other people and their horses.

    I guarantee you three things in this episode: a smile, a giggle and a 'you said whaaaaat'?

    To me no matter the color, age, sex or breed, they are all horses and all have equal rights on this earth. I hope you agree and if not maybe my podcast can help change that or we (you and I) are simply not compatible ♥

  • 13. The Relaxation Whistle™

    Send us Fan Mail

    It is absolutely possible to have a communication for your horse that says relax or don't worry. The whistle however is aimed even more so at your own body and reactions in order to create self-awareness and calmness.

    In this podcast I share with you how I came to discover it, a little how to train it and how and when to apply it.

    You can always reach out to me if you have any questions and if you like to learn more about how to get good with horses then please see the links ♥

  • 11. To blanket or not to blanket

    Send us Fan Mail

    It's not rocket science, however I suggest with a word of caution as to what blanket to use and for what reason.
    What is upmost importance is that we blanket in accordance to each horses individual needs.

    I forgot to mention in this podcast that yes indeed, if I lived in the mountains with a dry climate especially when it snows in the winter, I most likely would not use blankets.

    Wind and rain combined is the biggest cause of heat loss in horses and since that is the climate I live in, I will absolutely blanket my horses accordingly.

  • 10. What is a good trail riding horse?

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode I share with you a funny but very serious story about how a trail riding horse should not look.

    I hope you listen to the previous podcast called 'They say don't get off - but I say rubbish!' because there is a connection to this one.

    A good trail horse should be a safe, reliable and willing, partner  who can walk, trot, canter, halt, move sideways, open gates etc. without tension or fear.

    The horse absolutely should not choose the speed of the trail and most definitely if you need to get off should be able to stand still and wait for you.

    But how?
    Please listen ♥

  • 9. They say don't get off - I say rubbish!

    Send us Fan Mail

    Why oh why, if it could save your life, would you not want to get off?

    • This old fashioned and out of date rule just blows my mind.


    Why oh why, oh why, do people ride horses without testing (training) a good breaking system first?

    • One rein is for control, two reins are for communication.

    Bigger bits, tie-downs or any gadget really are not the answer to controlling horses.
    Getting your horsemanship up a gear and understanding how the power in a horses body works so you can disempower it is the key.

    Listen in and hear some of my thoughts and training tips about it ♥

  • 8. Treat them like they're stupid, you might just get stupid back!

    Send us Fan Mail

    By no way is this podcast meant to offend, it is to educate and get people to think!

    In this episode I teach you  about my horse lifestyle scale:

    0________5_______10

    0 - abused horse with very bad life
    5- mediocre to fair life
    10 - perfect life

    It is impossible for quite literally most of our planet to offer a horse a level 10 lifestyle, but all of us can at least offer a 6-7.

    Listen in and find out which scale you offer your horse and if it could improve (or not) ♥
