Description

We’re back from our summer break and kicking off a brand new season! 🎉

In this episode, we catch up on what we’ve been up to, what’s coming next for the podcast, and some of the things we’ve been reflecting on over the break.

Our main topic this week is language both the words we use when we talk about horses, and the “language” horses use to communicate with us.

We explore:

• How the language we use shapes our mindset, expectations, and welfare decisions
• The difference between describing behaviour vs. labelling the horse
• How horses communicate emotional states through posture, movement, and subtle expression
• Ways to shift from judgement to curiosity
• And how a more thoughtful vocabulary can lead to better understanding and kinder training

This is a reflective, gentle, conversation-based episode a thoughtful place to start the new season together.

We’re happy to be back. 💛
