S3 | 18. From Selling “Problem Horses” to Soul Partnerships: A Dressage Rider’s Transformation show art S3 | 18. From Selling “Problem Horses” to Soul Partnerships: A Dressage Rider’s Transformation

Equestrian Perspective

In this episode, I’m joined again by my beautiful client Carola and this conversation goes deep. Carola came from a traditional dressage background. She's a certified instructor. She followed the rules. She chased the ribbons. And when things got hard with her horses? She sold them. Until she met Queeny. What followed was not just a horsemanship shift but a complete identity shift. Inside this episode, we talk about: Her mare who wouldn’t come to the gate… now she waits for her! From riding on the bit under pressure → to bitless and bareback pad fun plus joy-filled trail rides ...

S3 | 17. Cultivating Confidence & Connection: The 5 Layers That Change Everything show art S3 | 17. Cultivating Confidence & Connection: The 5 Layers That Change Everything

Equestrian Perspective

Confidence isn’t something you force, it isn’t something you fake and it definitely isn’t something you earn by pushing through fear. In this episode, I’m breaking down what actually builds confidence - for both you and your horse - and why safety, clarity, and connection are the real foundations for trusting partnership. If you’ve ever: Second-guessed yourself on the ground or in the saddle Felt confident at home but wobbly in new environments Watched your horse freeze, balk, react, or shut down Tried to “just be braver” but felt your body resist This conversation will...

Equestrian Perspective

Have you ever wondered why your horse seems calm and cooperative for other people... but feels reactive, inconsistent, or emotionally intense with you? Why some days feel connected and beautiful… and other days feel confusing, confronting, or heavy...even when you feel like you're showing up in the same way? In this episode, I speak directly to the experience many compassionate equestrians quietly navigate: feeling deeply connected to their horse, yet struggling to feel ease or flow taking their horse’s behaviour personally, even when they “know better” finding it easier to work...

Equestrian Perspective

This episode was originally recorded in mid-2025 during a live round of The Field. I’m resharing it now as part of Season 3, with the full permission of the women who shared so openly, as their stories speak directly to the themes we’ve been exploring around nervous system safety, self-trust, and receiving support. In this conversation, I’m joined by four women - Jenna, Bianca, Gemma, and Tina - who had just completed a 12-week journey inside The Field, a small-group mentorship experience for compassionate equestrians navigating change with their horses and themselves. This is not a...

Equestrian Perspective

This episode was originally recorded in mid-2025 after a live round of The Field. I’m resharing it now as part of Season 3, with the full permission from the women who shared so openly, as the reflections in this conversation feel deeply aligned with the themes we’ve been exploring recently. In this episode, I’m joined by three women - Carola, Maryline, and Natalie - who had just completed a 12-week journey inside The Field, a small-group mentorship experience for compassionate equestrians. This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about what actually happens when you stop trying to fix...

S3 | 13. Before the Next Chapter: Supporting the Human Nervous System Through Transitions show art S3 | 13. Before the Next Chapter: Supporting the Human Nervous System Through Transitions

Equestrian Perspective

Have you ever felt a new chapter approaching… but sensed that something needed to be tended to first? In this episode, we explore why transitions (even the ones we want) can feel disorienting, exhausting, or hard to move through, especially after long seasons of vigilance, rehab, grief, burnout, or survival mode. You’ll hear why slowing down isn’t always accessible when your nervous system has learned safety through doing, fixing, or staying alert - and why this isn’t a mindset problem, but a capacity one. We’ll explore: why your nervous system may be asking to “catch up”...

S3 | 12. Trainers, Online Learning & Clinics: How to Choose the Right Support for You and Your Horse show art S3 | 12. Trainers, Online Learning & Clinics: How to Choose the Right Support for You and Your Horse

Equestrian Perspective

Have you ever tried everything - trainers, lessons, clinics, online programs - and still felt like something wasn’t clicking with your horse? In this episode, I explore the different support options available in the equestrian world and why so many thoughtful, caring equestrians end up feeling confused, stuck, or doubting themselves… even when they’re doing all the “right” things. We talk about: The pros and limitations of trainers, in-person lessons, clinics, and online learning Why fragmented support often creates more confusion, not confidence How nervous system safety (for...

S3 | 11. The Fight Response in Horses: When Your Horse Pushes Back show art S3 | 11. The Fight Response in Horses: When Your Horse Pushes Back

Equestrian Perspective

If your horse isn’t spooky…and they’re not shutdown…but they do push back - this episode is for you. Fight responses in horses are often misunderstood. They can show up as nipping, pinned ears, tail swishing, big reactions (like kicking, rearing, bucking etc.), or behaviours that get labelled as “dominant”, “pushy”, or “opinionated”. And when this is your horse, it can leave you feeling confused, judged by others, and second-guessing yourself - especially when you know there’s more going on beneath the behaviour. Fight responses aren’t bad behaviour. They’re a nervous...

Equestrian Perspective

As we step into a new year, it can be tempting to declare a clean slate - to rush ahead with intentions, goals, and plans - without fully acknowledging the ground you’re standing on. In this episode, I invite you to slow down. Recorded live on the 1st of January, 2026, this is a reflective conversation about closing a 9-year cycle and consciously stepping into the beginning of a new one - not from “new year, new me” energy, but from integration, self-responsibility, and choice. We explore: what the past 9 years have been quietly shaping and teaching you why reflection is more...

Equestrian Perspective

As we come to the end of the year, it can be tempting to rush ahead... to plan, reset, or “do things differently” without fully acknowledging what this year has already shaped within us. In this episode, I invite you to pause. We reflect on the energy of the Year of the Snake - a year that has asked many of us to shed old skins, release outdated patterns, and recalibrate in ways that haven’t always been comfortable or visible. Together, we explore: what this year has quietly invited you to let go of what foundations you’ve actually built (even if it didn’t feel like it at the time)...

"You've cultivated enough self trust and you know what you're doing, now can you listen to your body? Can you listen to your horse? Even if it doesn't look like what somebody else is saying is good or bad or right or wrong, how can you own that for you and not get swept up in this huge amount of what other people are doing." - Felicity
