Equestrian movement update: changes are coming! Feb 17, 2025

Show notes

Over the coming months there will be some changes at equestrian movement.

The big one is, I'm pregnant! So I will be having term 3 off for maternity leave. As a result Sarah and I are trying to wrangle this beast that is equestrian movement and downsize our work.

What this means for you:

- The podcast will be changing from weekly to fortnightly

- Equestrian movement will be getting rebranded under the face to face school branding of equestrian spirit.

- Therefore there will be changes to email addresses, websites and socials

- There won't be any live trainings this year (ie webinars, coaching, live coaching support through the programs)

- Sarah and I will be revisiting these decisions next year to see if there will be any live coaching next year.

Please reach out if you have any questions or need further support through this transition at

Connection theory is lame Jan 15, 2025

Show notes

Connection and emotion, bleh who'd have it. However, both us and our horses don't function in isolation of connection, emotion and relationship and to be honest if that's what we really wanted from horse riding we would ride motorbikes.

Join us in this episode as I discuss why connection training is the foundation of our riding school lessons.
