Equilogical Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In today’s podcast Kate goes solo (don’t worry Becky will be back next time!) with Annika O’Kane author of The Pretty Pony Once Said: A Heart-warming Rhyming tale about the Nature of Horses for Children - ideal Book for Kids who Love Animals!

Kate talks to Annika about her 40+ years in the industry and where her inspiration came from for her book. We also chat about the importance of this book in the movement toward educating children and young adults to understand horse behaviour. We go onto discuss how through this understanding children and young adults can stay safer.

As always, an enthusiastic conversation follows with a few tangents.

We finish up looking to the future and discuss some ideas Annika has for her next book! It was an absolute pleasure to have Annika on the podcast and we look forward to having her with us again!

In today's podcast we are joined by the ever wonderful Trudi Demspey, Equine Behaviour and Training Consultant. We had decided to talk about planning, which we do at points throughout but there were a few tangents that we just had to discuss, staying motivated in our training, considering emotions during training, what to do if you are finding it difficult to get into your training sessions and so on. An open and honest conversation with lots of laughter. Enjoy!

Trick training is fun for you and your horse. It engages the equine brain & there are so many tricks to choose from. But what is a trick? To us it maybe teaching the Smile, Bow, Lying down or Fetch! But to the horse everything they learn from us could be seen as a trick. Because trick training in general is fun, it’s a good idea to inject this fun learning together in all the training. In this podcast we discuss our fave tricks and what really is a trick anyway? Follow Kate and Becky on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube: Equilogical Positive Equine Partners and Little Green Stables

In today’s podcast we talk body targeting! Join us in our discussion on what parts of the body you can target. How body targeting can help with tacking up, mounting and for important medical procedures. Encountering possible sensitive areas, the benefits of exploration and the odd story from Becky, we also cover the importance of sheath cleanliness, so please be aware there is some willy talk.
