  • Wonderful

    Thanks so much for so much great information. 30 yrs ago I got my first horse before the internet was around and so much of what I learnt wasn’t great. Jec and Maddie - you’re doing a great job disseminating understanding about our beloved equines. Also love your books !

  • Best Horse Podcast

    Every episode leaves me so excited to get to work! I’m an equine massage therapist and lean toward Masterson Method and I utilize clicker training as my method of training/connecting with horses and this podcast just speaks to me so much with their wholistic representation of so many thought and ideas from experts. Could not recommend more!

  • BHP Podcast is insightful made easy.

    Jec and Maddy do an incredible job of gathering some of the most knowledgeable and truth seeking horse people around. The typical length of the podcast leaves you wanting more, and not all bloated like those other podcasts. Jec is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced herself, so she has a basis to ask the right questions and get to the goods without hyperbole and verbosity. In short this podcast is one of the first things I listen to on Wednesday’s. It’s well worth your time.

  • Insightful & forward thinking

    I’m a listener (from Australia), I particularly look forward to the guests on this podcast who have researched various aspects of horse interactions & horse care / welfare. It’s a myth busting series of podcasts. With evidence based research and insightful conversations, I’m forever pushing away years of assumptions and replacing my knowledge with facts. In the least, Jec & Maddy’s guests encourage critical thinking. Australia has limited talent pool of well regarded horse trainers & very limite... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Medicine Horse, Evidence-Based Therapy with Horses
Q: Are we trying to arrive at the same place regardless of kind of where we're coming from?
Yes, we're working towards the same therapeutic goal as talk therapy, but the approaches differ, with equine therapy offering a more embodied experience.
Medicine Horse, Evidence-Based Therapy with Horses
Q: Is there worth delineating between what we lay horse people might call our therapy and the work that you're doing there with folks working through grief and trauma?
The biggest difference is just the access that people don't, you know, the hell limited that access is for so many people, especially people who are in distress. Medicine Horse offers unique services that are accessible to underserved individuals.
Mary Ann Simonds - Horses and Humans
Q: Did you want to comment on just this sort of assessment that you sometimes work through with people?
This one is really an important one because through the years... so I've actually have been working now to try to turn it into a very simple grading system that can be used by clinicians and trainers and as a mental health check for horses based on social rapport.
Jenn Currie: Brain Centered Horsemanship
Q: What need do you feel you're filling in the industry with your brain centered horsemanship clinics?
Jenn highlights that she aims to apply her understanding of brain functions developed in her teaching practices to improve the learning experience for both horses and humans by fostering a comfortable environment.
Coaches' Corner with Bit Expert Daniel Dauphin
Q: What inspired you to create a course out of this life work?
I want to take a holistic view on things, tackling not just how bits work but also anatomy, fit, and the usage of hands to improve horse communication and understanding.
