Podcast episode 64
I just listened to the latest episode and after hearing you talk about the camp/retreat/experience in June, I’m even MORE excited, which I didn’t know was possible! You touched on all the things I want to work on with my horse. I bought a trailer and practiced driving all day yesterday. This will certainly be an adventure for me. Can’t wait!
Video on “freely forward horse”
This is an awesome video, and it includes a lot of the concepts I’ve been working on, so I’m really excited to have your instruction in June! You describe this horse dropping his shoulder in to the left and his imbalance there, and that’s my biggest struggle with my horse, but to the right. I too have him worked on regularly by an osteopath and Masterson practitioner, as you said you do, so that was interesting to hear. Around the 4:00 mark you’re saying you really exaggerate the correction and push that shoulder up. Could you clarify what exactly you’re doing? You’re using your inside leg at the girth and adding a squeeze until he gets the shoulder up? Nothing with the rein, right? Thank you!

🌱 Awareness Check-In — Pre-Clinic Exercises
If you had a chance to look at the pre-clinic exercises this morning—Breathe for Better Transitions or The Passive Riding Experiment—I’m curious.. What’s one thing you noticed? Maybe: - your timing shifted - your horse changed rhythm or focus - something felt easier (or harder) than expected - or you noticed something about yourself you hadn’t before It doesn’t have to be big or “impressive.”Small observations are where the real learning starts. Drop one thing below 👇

Hi Anna! I joined your hangout a bit ago but my audio didn’t seem to be working (or maybe I just didn’t wait long enough) but I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you how much I’ve been enjoying your podcast and content. Thank you!
Rider Lab Question
Is my horse having fun? A student asked me this question. What immediately came to my mind was, maybe, but is your horse wondering if you're having fun?
