  • Gratitude to you Julie

    I’ve been listening to you for probably 4 years or so. So many helpful and effective suggestions. You even helped with with an ‘uncatchable’ horse. BTW he’s a dream now…for me anyway. Comes when I whistle. Can’t thank you enough.

  • Love it!

    As an amateur horse trainer I have a lot of questions and very little money. Julie’s podcast is such a wealth of knowledge and not a hit to the wallet. Thank you for everything you do, Julie!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Trail-Ready Horse: Safety, Manners, and Confidence Beyond the Arena
Q: Karen asks what additional tack is best for mountain riding and what saddle/accessories are recommended for long steep days.
Julie recommends a well-fitted breast collar, snug flank cinch with a cinch hobble, brow band headstall with a throat latch, a flat halter under the bridle with a lead rope, and practical carrying gear like a pommel bag; emphasis is on gear that stabilizes the saddle and keeps essentials accessible while protecting the horse.
The Trail-Ready Horse: Safety, Manners, and Confidence Beyond the Arena
Q: Sue asks how to ask her well-trained horse to soften without backing up, given that backing has started to happen when she gathers the reins.
The guidance emphasizes recognizing that the horse is responding to cues earlier than expected; the solution is to use less cueing and practice a precise, gradual rein release while using weight shift to cue, ensuring the moment of release happens sooner and the horse remains balanced and connected.
Understanding Separation Stress in Horses: Herd Bound, Barn Sour, or Just Social?
Q: Q3. Julie, I've heard people say you sound like you're from Texas. Are you from Texas?
Answer. The host clarifies that she is not from Texas and shares a light story about flags and personal background while reinforcing the episode's focus on the horse in front of us and how to help them cope with separation.
Understanding Separation Stress in Horses: Herd Bound, Barn Sour, or Just Social?
Q: Question number two. I brought a new horse into my herd, and she has bonded very strongly to one of my older horses. How can I reduce the anxiety she has when he leaves?
Answer. Begin with very short, calm separations to make coming and going feel ordinary, vary which horse is removed, keep activities low-stress, and ensure the new horse has broader daily social stability to prevent over-reliance on a single companion.
Understanding Separation Stress in Horses: Herd Bound, Barn Sour, or Just Social?
Q: Question 1. Hello. Some background information. My friend and I have our three horses in a dry lot and rotate turnout and riding between them.
Answer. The horse described is experiencing a strong separation distress when left behind, likely the second kind discussed in the episode. The advice emphasizes starting with tiny rehearsals of absence, ensuring the horse stays under threshold, and gradually increasing exposure while incorporating coping skills and welfare considerations, including veterinary input given recent laminitis history.
