Sign up for "When to Reward, For What" (A.K.A Food Rewards with Freedom)HERE:   https://www.emotionalhorsemanship.com/mini-courseConnect with Elaine Hayes here:https://www.facebook.com/partnershipdressageElaine Hayes is a friend, client and colleague.   Elaine is a boarding barn owner, a dressage rider and trainer and lives in NC USA.   Partnership Dressage is the lense she approaches to developing correct sport horses, to a high level, with kindness and respect.  I have really enjoyed supporting her on a few cases she called me in to advise on.   Elaine is also an advocate for quality breeding.  After discovering ECVM in some of her horses, which resulted in life ending scenarios for these horses, Elaine put her entire business on the line to begin advocating for better breeding, diagnostics and awareness.  Awareness around the bodies many horses are born with.   ECVM, which has been discussed a few times in season 1, together with many other genetic diseases of a horses skeleton is not always a doom and gloom diagnosis.  It is not always a life ending diagnosis.  But it does hold a very high prevalence of high potential for discomfort, pain, and potentially event catastrophic dysfunction.  Early studies indicate the possibility, but not yet proven fact, that an enormous percentage of today’s domestic horses are bred with broken bodies.   I hugely admire Elaine.  Because I admire anyone who speaks boldly to their triuth and puts everything on the line, passionately for causes that are important to them.   Appearing on her first podcast ever, here.  It is my pleasure to introduce you to my friend and colleague, Elaine. For more information check out www.emotionalhorsemanship.com!

Consider Joining the EH Foundation Online Course here:https://www.emotionalhorsemanship.com/emotional-horsemanship-foundation-online-courseLearn more about Kat HERE:https://kathosoolee.com/Kat Ho Soo Lee is a spiritual business mentor.  She is also the host of the Emotional Alchemy Podcast of which I have happily visited at least twice as a guest speaker.    Kat takes a trauma informed lense to the practice of running our own businesses.  She enfolds somatic, scientific, spiritual and nervous system knowledge into a holistic mentoring role, guiding today’s business owner to thrive in AND enjoy running their own business.   She is also a client who has taken lessons with me.  Which to my delight I discovered a self professed beginner with horses, to possess an advanced skill set towards horses.   Her work in the nervous system, in movement, in traditional eastern medicine and trauma informed practices naturally makes her a brilliant horse woman.  She lives in Washington state, has a ranch of her own, and in spring of 2024 she showed up to my Washington State clinic and was a powerful voice in that space.   Kat is the first of a series of podcasts where I present people whom on the surface appear to be new to horses, and yet possess skill, feel, understanding and knowledge that even lifelong horse people struggle at times, to embody.   I present such guests here, alongside industry figure heads such as Temple Grandin and Celeste Lazarus, because it is never my opinion that only decades of experience can help you be excellent with a horse.   Sometimes, from the mouths of beginners, comes the ultimate feel of horse-sense.  From the mind of the fresh, we find  logic and horsemanship is not solely gate kept, by the uber experiences, but can be embodies more immediately, from a multi-disciplinary approach.    For more information check out www.emotionalhorsemanship.com!
