It depends: The two word answer to big questions

12/02/20 • 16 min

Often the biggest questions have the simplest answers. In this episode (#51), I discuss how two words (“it depends”) have given me much insight over the years — especially in 2020.

At Horse Wise, I teach people tools so that they can learn how to coach themselves and their horses to progress together as a team. It’s a fun process that shows you how build a good partnership with your horse (in a practical, straightforward way).

Previous Episode

Amy Skinner on the relationship between herd dynamics, horse handling and riding.

On this episode (#50), Amy Skinner returns for a fun and laughter-filled discussion on the relationship between herd dynamics, horse handling and riding. Also we ponder the nature of epiphanies and why they often deliver both the highs and lows simultaneously. .Amy offers a training program for all breeds and disciplines that focuses on promoting softness, balance, and relaxation. Working with the horse’s mind develops confidence, and an understanding of biomechanics develops correct and sound movement. She believes that learning should be fun and not intimidating, and she provides a safe, enjoyable atmosphere for riders to improve their abilities. As she says, “Training should never be so serious that we lose our sense of awe for the horse.” For more information on Amy and her work, please visit her FB page (https://www.facebook.com/AmySkinnerHorsemanship ), her website (https://amyskinnerhorsemanship.com/) and her book (https://amyskinnerhorsemanship.com/product/to-catch-a-horse/)

Brooke Tatrow on mindful horsemanship, Christmas poetry and the value of slowing down.

To me, Brooke Tatrow epitomizes the concept of integrity and balance in horsemanship. She has studied with classical and foundation horsemanship masters for over twenty years. Her teachers have included Buck Brannaman, Ray Hunt and Maryal Barnett. Brooke brings a thoughtful, compassionate and philosophical approach to every horse (and rider) she works with. Brooke is inspiring to learn from — and also is just super fun to talk horses with.
