  • Feels like sharing your story

    This episode was hard to listen… when I was a child I also experienced some horrible stories in riding schools so I stopped riding for a long time.

    At the age of 60 I bought my first own horse 🦄❤️ and I am working as an osteopath with horses and dogs, hoping to give something back, for all the kindness and love I experienced with them through my whole life!

  • Well worth a listen

    I have thoroughly enjoyed many of Lockie‘s podcasts. I just finished one in particular with he and his guest Louise that I thought was such a great representation of respectful, thorough and analytical sharing between two professionals. So many great subjects that resonate strongly with me throughout all the podcast. And so many great guests!

    Locke is everything the horse world is missing. In an industry that often feels rushed, image-obsessed, and disconnected from the horse, this podcast is a breath of fresh air. It goes back to the basics — honoring the horse as a partner, not just a performer. What makes Locke stand out is his honesty. He openly shares what he’s gotten right, what he’s gotten wrong, and how he’s learning through it. In the clinic, teaching, and learning space, it’s rare to find someone so grounded in true horsema... more
