It’s so great to be able to be back in your ears and bringing you a new episode! Before we do that though, it’s time to give a shout out to our amazing and fantastic Patrons who are an integral part of the Come Along for the Ride Family. A massive thank you to Amy Lopez and Belinda Daws. Now Belinda is someone that I need to tell you more about. She has signed on as a patron for the shout out and link. Belinda is a certified connection training coach, she has trained with Hannah Western, Rachel Bedingfield and Shawna Karrasch. Her business is called Journey Equine, Positive Horse Training and Coaching. Belinda has come into the Come Along for the Ride family at just the perfect time. It was at the very same time that I was looking for a coach. Belinda lives on the Gold Coast so she is close enough to be able to travel to me. Belinda also works with clients online so she can support you wherever you are in the world. We have had our first coaching session and I found Belinda to be calm, and able to see the tiny nuances that you need to be able to get clicker training right. She worked beautifully with me and my horses. I loved that she did not want to rush through training and push the horses or me, we did a little and then left it right at the perfect spot. If she had an ego she would have wanted to go a little bit further, and that folks, is where the problems happen in training, in my opinion.So, not only do I recommend Belinda as she is a Patreon subscriber to the podcast, I personally recommend her. You can find Belinda at www.journeyequine.com.

Did you know I am looking for a business partner? If you are looking to join a business venture that makes the world a better place for horses and literally leaves the earth a better place than we found it, then please get in touch. In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Monty Gwynne from EquiSpeak. Monty teaches classical dressage through positive reinforcement, so she is a trainer after my own heart. The best way to introduce her is to read directly from her website, this is a quote from her home page. This quote is by Nuno Oliveira from 1961 "I believe that there are two categories of equestrians, those who, while skilled, use the horse as a tool, and those who love him and allow him to express the brilliance of which he is capable.The former are not less expert than the latter. During dressage tests they may even triumph although never taking the risk of making a mistake when the opportunity to yield with the hand occurs and lightness presents itself. The latter always risk being the damned poets of this art. They are misunderstood by the masses of riders who cannot distinguish between the means used by the former or those of the latter. Only the latter enjoy the true pleasure of feeling how a creature cooperates without constraint, as a friend." It’s a bit special and a beautiful way to introduce the wonderful Monty Gwynne.

This is a quick message to let you know that the podcast will be taking a short break. Due to health reasons and a need to stop and restore my own health and also spend more time with my horses. The podcast will be taking a break from now until July. This is a time for me to catch up with all my listeners in may ways. To spend the time working with my own horses who have not had the time due to my work schedule. To catch up with human people instead of working through the internet each day for connection. All of these things will go toward restoring my health and making me ready for the next phase of Eden River Equestrian. All online purchases will be filled during this time so feel free to browse my site any time. Thank you for your patience on this one. I know that you will all understand. Much love to you all and I'll be back on the podcast airwaves in July.

In this episode I speak with Peggy Hogan from Clicker Training Horses. Peggy has been around for a long time in the world of positive reinforcement and she has something amazing to teach us. As with so many trainers of this style she is open and willing to teach so much as she has seen positive reinforcement transform the horse human relationship time and time again.

In this episode I speak with Shawna Karrasch from the Terranova Training Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I know I say this a lot, but you really are going to love this one! Shawna has an energy and zest for life that is infectious. She also shares with us the story of how she was one of first people in the world to use positive reinforcement training with horses. And of course she got to start right at the top with international show jumpers! She also got offered to spend time with Tom Dorrance, one of the creators of the natural horsemanship movement. She could literally have changed his world and the natural horsemanship movement, but I’ll let her tell you that story herself. It would be easy to think that Shawna might have a bit of ego at play with all of her years of extraordinary experience, but of course, she is true to this training movement and like all of the other trainers I have interviewed, she is great because of her lack of ego. She is on a mission, just as I am, to change the face of horsemanship the world over so this is yet another conversation of kindred spirits building the energy and education to bring consciousness to the horse world. To connect with Shawna, listen to her podcast or ask her questions please follow the links.

This week’s episode is brought to you by Eden River Equestrian. Soon to be Australia’s, and then eventually maybe even the world’s leading sustainable horse brand. I can tell you I am racing to meet you at the starting line for this launch. I’m so excited to bring this to the world and share it with you all. In this episode I speak with Emily from Elsam Equestrian Solutions. Emily has Cedric who is a horse riding simulator. What does a mechanical horse have in common with being a conscious horse person? Well let me tell you this is an amazing tool to take the pressure off you and your horse when it comes to riding. If you have something that you would like to check for sure about your riding, or to gain more confidence, or just improve your balance and specifics in your riding then a horse riding simulator can definitely help. It does not replace your riding coach, it compliments and support the work you are already doing with your coach. Emily is here in Queensland but you can find these all over the world. Have a listen to how this incredible machine can assist and support us in our riding. And in the background, the whinnying horse is Cedric!
