Horses and Riding
Working with Lucinda Green's on line XC Academy in 2020 has reinforced my belief in the power of on line learning and podcasting as a valuable way to connect with ideas and with other people. In this podcast channel I share practical ways to get better control of your mind and its unhelpful habits! Low on jargon and at times contentious and provocative I aim to stimulate new thinking to help riders of all levels put the relationship with themselves and their horse joint first. Having a sense of humour and balanced perspective is key so if I loose either do get in touch and let me know! I hope like me, you'll enjoy solving puzzles and helping your horse do the same. Thanks for tuning in and dream big!
