  WH153 | The opportunity in injury with Josh Nichol

  Aug 2, 20261h 12mS9

  For this very special episode of the podcast, Josh Nichol of Relational Horsemanship and I sat down to chat about his recent life-altering riding accident and subsequent injury. We unpacked a whole lot in this hour - Josh shares in detail what happened that day that his whole life changed, how his recovery is going, how he's feeling about all of it and his perspective on why things happened the way they did. As you might imagine, Josh's perspective will probably surprise and inspire you - he is seeing a precious opportunity for stillness, pause and a big life shift in the space created by his injury and his recovery journey. I also share about my recent transition of my dog Reilly and the powerful experience we had here on the farm and we get into how life can show us the way if we let it. I invite you to grab a cup of tea or a muck fork and put your head phones on (ideally with some kleenex in your pocket). You may want to come back a time or two more with a journal to write in. This one is full to the brim of Josh wisdom. Enjoy the journey! To learn more about Josh and his work head to https://joshnichol.com/

  WH152 | Understanding the osteopathic principle of autoregulation applied to horses with Elisse Miki

  May 31, 202659 minS9

  Alright my geeky horse people, this one's for you! No season would be complete without an episode with Elisse Miki of Equilibria Therapeutics. We promised to do a podcast on each of the osteopathic principles, and it may take us a minute but we're going to make it happen. Elisse came for a visit to the farm and we just had to sit down for a conversation unpacking the osteopathic principle of autoregulation, what it means for our horses, how it shows up in every day experiences and how to interpret these experiences through an osteopathic lens. This one was recorded a few months back, when Reykur was just finding solid ground with his health, but was still wobbly so we definitely looked at how this principle relates to rehabilitation and illlness. You'll be happy to know that as of the publishing of this episode he seems to have turned a good corner and is staying more stable with more vitality. We also got into the story of Gwynna's rehabilitation and how this principle played a role, and how much a supoortive environment supports a return to homeostasis. Enjoy! As a human and equine therapist with over 15 years of experience working with clients in a therapeutic setting, Elisse Miki brings a wide variety of modalities into her practice. She began her career working as an Exercise Physiologist having completed her Bachelors in Kinesiology then went on to obtain her Registered Massage Therapy Licence. She has since gone on to complete Diplomas in Equine Therapy, Equine Craniosacral, and is currently in the process of completing her Equine Osteopathy Diploma. Her current focus lies in research and development of current standards of practice in the equine industry. Elisse hosts clinics for horse owners and will be offering continuing education courses for existing health care professionals and equine therapists starting in January 2020.

  WH151 | Shifting the horse industry one saddle at a time with Katrina Chapman

  Apr 26, 20261h 1mS9

  After meeting on a horse track tour and realizing that we shared a common passion and vision, I couldn't wait to chat with Katrina Chapman of Lovas Equestrian about her work, her saddles and what drew her to thinking outside of the box about equine environments and more. Katrina is a trailblazer, as you'll hear, starting as a saddle fitter and moving into creating her own custom saddles after seeing some major gaps in the industry. But, Katrina's a horse lover first and foremost, and in this conversation she shares some of her frustration when it comes to being a saddle fitter, when the issue is clearly not the saddle, how she navigates tricky conversations with clients about needed changes, her fave easy addition to support with topline and comfort and what changes she sees in horses that have their basic habitat needs met (hint: they are often easier to fit). Katrina Chapman's journey towards founding Lovas Equestrian was fueled by a deep frustration born out of a love for horses and a desire to ensure their well-being. As a passionate horse lover and dedicated saddle fitter, she witnessed firsthand the unfortunate consequences of ill-fitting saddles and tack on both horses and riders. Katrina realized that there were limited options available in the market that truly addressed this crucial issue. The lack of well-fitting and affordable alternatives compelled her to take matters into her own hands. Determined to make a difference, she embarked on a mission to develop innovative and accessible options that would provide optimal comfort and performance without breaking the bank. It was the frustrations she experienced that inspired Katrina to create Lovas Equestrian, with the goal of revolutionizing the saddlery industry and offering equestrians the quality and affordability they deserve.

  WH150 | Building confidence and competence in equine emergencies with Dr. Lizzie McCready

  Mar 19, 20261h 4mS9

  Celebrating our 150th episode with this awesome chat with Dr. Lizzie of Empowered Equine! I happened upon her work recenty and was so grateful to find someone laying out emergency preparedness for horses in the online space. Ever since moving further out of town I have felt the need to upgrade my "tool-kit" and make sure I am up to date with my knowledge and skills and I think many horse owners are feeling the same way. In this episode we get into how the vet shortage is affecting horse communities worldwide and how to be prepared despite it, some of the important skills and equipment to have to track your horses baseline and detect issues before they become a big deal, what to look for with reading a digital pulse (this one was for Reykur!) and much much more. This conversation with Lizzie is full of nuggets of wisdom and skill-building gems and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Dr. Lizzie McCready, BVetMed (Hon) CVA is an equine veterinarian and founder of Empowering Equine Education. After treating hundreds of emergencies, she noticed a pattern: most horse owners struggle to recognize health issues early or respond confidently in a crisis. This gap inspired her to create The Equine Emergency Training (EET). The growing EET community now i ncludes over 1,100 students worldwide and is empowering owners with the skills, knowledge and confidence to deliver the best care to their horses.

  WH149 | Demystifying insulin + shifting our lens on recovery with Elisha Edwards

  Feb 17, 20261h 5mS9

  In this illuminating episode we're back with Elisha Edwards to shine more light on the often confusing topic of metabolic disorder, laminitis and hyperinsulinemia. As I share, I'm usually a pretty quick study but this stuff gets my brain all twisted in knots - and am I ever grateful to have someone like Elisha to break it down for me. As many of you know, the topic of insulin as it relates to disease has been top of mind for me since my gelding Reykur's recent laminitic episode where his levels of insulin were off the charts despite trying to do all the right things. I've been doing my best to sift through all the information out there and it felt like the perfect time to have a deep dive conversation about this with someone who really gets it and is looking at this topic from many angles. In this chat we discuss why insulin goes up, why it stays up, and how we can help it to come down and stay down, the very real impact of hormones, stress and cortisol, the pros and cons of medicating, the real struggles of watching our horses deal with pain and how the emotional states of our horses can influence this disease. I know this conversation helped me greatly on my horse-keeping journey, and I hope it helps you too! Elisha Edwards is a long-time horse lover who holds both a Bachelor of Science in organic chemistry and an MBA from the University of Alberta. Elisha is the Director of Education at Riva's Remedies and she is also the developer and instructor of the online course Healing Horses Their Way . She teaches horse owners all over the world how to use holistic health care to promote good health for their horses and how to restore good health in unwell horses. She believes that through education and awareness of natural horse health we can drastically improve their quality of life and longevity. Elisha also regularly facilitates workshops and seminars on natural horse health care across the country.
