  • My favorite horsey podcast (and people)

    Horse Person is my comfort listen! Caroline is one of the most outstanding interviewers I have ever listened to, and I adore the addition of Beth, who brings such a refreshing curiosity and openness to each episode. They always ask the questions I’m thinking, and treat guests with so much kindness and generosity.

When Riding Starts to Feel Like One More Thing to Be Good At, w/ Dr. Darby Bonomi
Q: What behaviors can riders change at the barn to help them feel more confident?
Bonomi recommends walking and trotting with purpose, sitting tall with shoulders back, and using a long exhale to release tension. She explains that behavior can affect feelings, not only the other way around.
When Riding Starts to Feel Like One More Thing to Be Good At, w/ Dr. Darby Bonomi
Q: Why do some women find themselves enjoying riding less when they reach middle age?
Bonomi says ambitious women can bring perfectionism and competitiveness into riding, turning it into another performance demand and diminishing the joy. She encourages riders to reconnect with the pleasure and personal value of riding.
One-Size-Fits-All Riding Instruction Isn't Enough, with Solange Ellis
Q: What should they check?
Ellis recommends practicing a calm, correct mount, finding a deep seat at the walk, feeling the seat bones and stirrups for support, and working on halt-walk transitions and the stable position.
One-Size-Fits-All Riding Instruction Isn't Enough, with Solange Ellis
Q: So what's the price that you think that we are paying for that?
Ellis says the consequences include rider injuries and fear, as well as horses being managed in ways she considers cruel when riders' instability and emotional state are placed on them.
She Thought She'd Lost Her Nerve in the Saddle: The Midlife Shift Riders Need to Understand with Steph Bradley
Q: What practical steps can coaches take to support midlife riders?
Coaches should start each session with a check-in on how the rider feels, adapt the riding plan to energy and pain levels, avoid pressuring riders into activities when they're not up to it, and emphasize a collaborative approach where the rider leads the session. It's about creating a safe, supportive environment and using music, pacing, and communication to reduce anxiety and improve learning.
