Camri tells us all about her clinic she held recently in Herriman, Utah. Many ah-ha moments were had, from ground-tying an entire group of horses, to trailer loading, allowing horses to get the answer wrong without us escalating, and changing the way we present things to our horses.

While the title may raise an eyebrow or two, rest assured, we're not here to talk about transforming our spouses into obedient subjects. Instead, we explore how to empower ourselves to foster healthier dynamics within our partnerships and relationships. There are so many parallels between our relationships with our partners and our work with our horses. The foundation of both is trust, understanding and connection. Without those, we don't have a leg to stand on. If you like this episode be sure to leave us a 5 star review and subscribe to learn more about rider health and fitness, horse tra ..read more

Today McKayla shares with us about her first ever fall from her horse, Sandy. The last time she came off a horse was over 7 years ago. Sandy spooked at a culvert at the exact wrong moment that threw McKayla to the ground in an instant. We discuss some of the ways to manage spookiness, especially recurring spookiness to the same object. Acceptance versus tolerance, shifting the perspective of what culverts mean, and managing the startle reflex are all tools we discuss to help any horse owner in a similar situation. ༺ ????? ༻ Thanks for listening to the Horsewoman Project Podcast, where Camri ..read more

Today Camri hops on for a quick chat about heart coherence. Heart coherence is a state where you are in harmony physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and you are utilizing energy efficiently. It can be measured through heart rate variability (HRV). By utilizing a technique called heart-focused breathing, you can bring more awareness to your heart, and to the present moment, while finding feelings of gratitude, love, and joy. Doing this technique will improve your heart coherence, and your ability to find peace and harmony within yourself. I hope this is helpful! ༺ ????? ༻ Than ..read more

Does your horse struggle in their lope transition? Maybe your horse is lazy and when you finally get a lope transition, they kick out, pin their ears, or crow hop.
