New podcast episode! You can listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on Spotify and YouTube.

Post your questions, so we can talk about them!

Office hours are going to be tomorrow at 7:30 pm EDT or if you're a military brat who worked in public safety like me, 1930 EDT 😁. I know the "military" time is like 🤯 to some of you! No office hours on Friday. I'll be in PA Wednesday-Friday celebrating the life of my grandmother who passed away at 102 years old! I need to get back into the monthly community calls. Maybe 3rd Thursday of the month?? Any thoughts on that? I hope to see you tomorrow night, otherwise have a great week ❤️

This Easter, take a moment to appreciate what your horse brings to your life 🐴 Their patience. Their honesty. Their quiet wisdom. My goal is to help riders develop better communication with their horses through awareness, feel, and connection—not pressure or force. If you’re ready to improve your horsemanship, build confidence, and bring the joy back into riding… Start with awareness. 👉 Dive into our free workshop: Awareness: The Missing Piece in Most Horse–Human Partnerships Learn how energy, timing, and even joy influence your horse more than you think. Check it out in the classroom!

I am finally online, but if I drop out again, it's because our power is out. Thunderstorms tonight have been causing just enough flickers to break the internet connection too. Annoying.

I see this all the time… Riders thinking: “My horse is ignoring me.” “My horse is being difficult.” “My horse just won’t listen.” But what if that’s not what’s actually happening? What if your horse isn’t doing anything to you… They’re responding to what they don’t understand? In this episode, we talk about: - Why taking things personally shuts down communication - How we’ve been taught (without realizing it) to expect our horses to just comply - Why horses learn more like toddlers than machines - And how simplifying your asks can completely change everything 💭 One idea I really want you to sit with: Just because you take great care of your horse… doesn’t mean they understand you. 🔬 This Week’s 10-Minute Experiment: Pick one thing you do automatically every day: - halter - bridle - saddle - picking feet Instead of just doing it… 👉 ask your horse first Then notice: - What do they tell you? - Do they hesitate? lean in? move away? - And if they say “no”… can you accept that? (No fixing. Just noticing.) What did you notice? How did you feel if they said no? Drop it below 👇
