A Learner's Journey
What a treat it was to have this conversation with Amy Skinner. She's the real deal. She's put a ton of time into honing her craft and will for the rest of her life. We delve into the topic of softness- a small word with A LOT of meaning. She shares some interesting and thought provoking ways of...
New Year’s Eve has always been one of my favorite holidays. I’ve never been a fan of big parties- so that isn’t what comes to mind when I think of the evening ahead. Spending time reflecting on the year with Brett, playing games and spending time with the dogs and horses is how...
This is my first solo podcast episode. I'm planning to do one every couple of months. The theme for these podcast will be how concepts in our horsemanship can also improve our lives.
In this one, I delve into what the Allow means to me when it comes to horsemanship and how it can be a game...
Have you ever had a session with your horse that you wish would last forever?
Maybe something you'd been trying to learn finally clicked Or your horse seemed to know what you wanted before you even asked. You could feel the harmony in your bones?
Then you go out the next day and...
Karen Rohlf was a name shared with me many times when I first mentioned the idea of doing a podcast (maybe you were one of the people who mentioned her). I have never met Karen in person, and to be honest, I was nervous to reach out to her to ask her to be a guest… Then someone I met when...

Oftentimes, questions that start with "why"...
Life throws curveballs. No one gets a pass. I love finding people that learn to dance in the rain; learn to make home runs with the curveballs. Michelle Scully is one of these people. I recently met her during a virtual clinic I hosted with Charley Snell.
After finding out we had a lot in common-...
A couple of weeks ago, I got to sit down (via zoom) with a woman I met through the virtual clinic with Charley Snell. She’d reached out after the clinic to let me know that we had something in common- broken backs… After a few email exchanges, I learned she wrote a book about her...
Feel… It’s one of those little words that is packed with meaning. It’s also a word whose definition grows richer with experience. As Bill Dorrance said, “You can’t teach feel, you have to experience it.”
How would you define feel? Is your understanding of it...
I often find myself saying, "I'm so glad you're here."
When I write or record video, I try to picture you and the other folks in this community as I write or talk. A huge sense of gratitude comes up in me every time. Gratitude that you're taking time out of your day to spend with me AND that...
I feel grateful for the opportunity to do these podcast episodes! I learn so much each time.
In this interview, John shares the story of how he got started with horses, how slowing down has been one of his biggest challenges and lots more. We are also joined at the end of the...
Time and age are interesting... As a young kid, I had visions of what getting older would be like AND a completely different definition of "old". I vowed to live with my mom forever and then when I got a bit older, it turned into living with a best friend forever- FOREVER!! And we meant it. ...
