In this episode I talk about some of the real-life things that happen behind the scenes when we are learning to do groundwork with our horses, that aren’t often spoken about.

This episode was a live video in my Confident Equestrian Community Facebook page and within the video I cover:

- My own journey with learning groundwork & growing my personal awareness

- What goes on for us at a physical, emotional and spiritual level when we are doing groundwork.

- The many different variables at play with you and your horse that affect your experience with groundwork.

And so much more!

In this episode, I have a conversation with Rachel Pittman about all the layers involved when you transition from having a riding-focused partnership with your horse to a non-riding partnership. We both share our stories of navigating arthritis with our horses and the things that came up for us and our horses as we were forced to shift goals with them.

If you are someone who isn't riding your horse or is contemplating not riding your horse then I think you will get a lot out of this episode and realise that you aren't alone. But, you can get through this and it will all be more than ok.

In this episode, I have a conversation with one of my incredible Confident Equestrian Program clients, Amelie. I wanted to have her on the podcast because she navigated many ups and downs while we worked together for 12 weeks, BUT now she is in a really good place with her horse.

In this episode, I respond to a question from someone in my social media community. She was having behavioural and health problems with her thoroughbred and was trying to decide if she should keep her horse at one barn or move her to another. Both barns had pros and cons and I felt like my response was worth sharing on the podcast as I know many people struggle in this situation. 

I hope this episode helps to give you some ideas on what to consider and how to make the best choice for you and your horse.

In this episode, I respond to a message that was sent to me from a woman wanting to overcome her perfectionism so she can enjoy her time with her horses. 

I talk through ways that anyone can:

• Understand their perfectionistic tendencies
• Reflect on why they focus more on mistakes vs things that went well
• Work through the fears that they are having on both a subconscious and a conscious level
• Understand the part of themselves that doesn't feel good enough even though another part of themselves does feel good enough

And the next steps to take.
