A Learner's Journey
Libby Lyman was recommended to me by several people to interview for the podcast- I'm so glad they did and that she said yes! Sit back and enjoy this conversation we delve into an idea she learned from Harry Whitney called The Free Search, and a unique perspective on fear- and of course,...
Do you often have realizations in your horsemanship apply to other areas of your life and vice versa?
Me too.
Yesterday, I realized it had been over a week since I'd written in my journal- something that has become a routine thing in the mornings. I sat on my spot on the couch with Roo...
Join me as I learn from Dr Susan Fay more about her work with people and horses. She has researched the science behind some of the "unexplainable" encounters many of us have had with our horses. The moments when they seem to read our minds or pick up on our emotions.
A quote from Susan: "When we...
A few years back I was having dinner with a group of colleagues. We were there supporting Linda Parelli during a clinic she taught in Washington State. We had the opportunity to ask lots of questions and (surprise, surprise) I had a couple...

Lillan Rome reached out to me several months ago to let me know about someone she would love to hear interviewed on the podcast. She made a virtual introduction between the two of us and what resulted is an interesting conversation about the importance of the breath and the fact that horses can...
Horses are masters of observation. People... not so much. Especially in our fast paced, tech-laced world. We are more distracted than ever. This distraction keeps us from being able to connect with our horses and read the things they are sharing with us.
Recently, I started a challenge for...
The image of a snow globe has been on my mind lately. It is the perfect representation of my learning journey over the past couple of years. Maybe you’ll relate to this too.
Sometimes it can feel like all we’ve known has been shaken up and is swirling around without a place to land....
In September and October of this year (2022) I shook hands with opportunity and am changed because of it.
I spent 10 days learning with a humble horseman named Harry Whitney. The only reason I got to do this is because of a little fuzzy horse named Suede and another humble horseman named Charley...
In this episode of A Learner's Journey podcast I interview Erin Sauer of Elite Equine Massage LAMP. Erin has been a licensed massage practitioner for over a decade. She loves sharing her passion with her clients and has developed a fabulous set of exercises any horse owner can learn to strengthen...
When you hear the word "canter" what comes to mind?
