The first step to permanent change for the better, is acceptance of the truth of what we currently have. And the truth is, the horse industry has a BIG problem with big violence, at every level, in many forms, in many disciplines and every country.
Nobodies hands are clean. The time has come to get off the fence, and make real steps forward.
I am building a community for people who denounce stories like this and are fully ready to move forwards. It is accessible, I take an active role there, so does my team.
Consider joining us to find some solutions and solace in community of people that want a higher standard for horses. https://emotionalhorsemanship.com/the-eh-school

Connect with Elaine Hayes here: https://www.facebook.com/partnershipdressage
Elaine Hayes is a friend, client and colleague.
Elaine is a boarding barn owner, a dressage rider and trainer and lives in NC USA.
Partnership Dressage is the lense she approaches to developing correct sport horses, to a high level, with kindness and respect. I have really enjoyed supporting her on a few cases she called me in to advise on.
Elaine is also an advocate for quality breeding. After discovering ECVM in some of her horses, which resulted in life ending scenarios for these horses, Elaine put her entire business on the line to begin advocating for better breeding, diagnostics and awareness. Awareness around the bodies many horses are born with.
ECVM, which has been discussed a few times in season 1, together with many other genetic diseases of a horses skeleton is not always a doom and gloom diagnosis. It is not always a life ending diagnosis. But it does hold a very high prevalence of high potential for discomfort, pain, and potentially event catastrophic dysfunction. Early studies indicate the possibility, but not yet proven fact, that an enormous percentage of today’s domestic horses are bred with broken bodies.
I hugely admire Elaine. Because I admire anyone who speaks boldly to their triuth and puts everything on the line, passionately for causes that are important to them.
Appearing on her first podcast ever, here. It is my pleasure to introduce you to my friend and colleague, Elaine.

Connect with Siets here: https://echopegasus.com/
Sietske Meerloo is a friend of mine. She is a phenomenal horse woman of Dutch descent and has lived all over the world, from Jordan to Spain and now France.
Siets is a wonderful practitioner of the AAOR and for a while lived close to me in Galicia. In fact, while I was searching for farms in Galicia, her support, and her life, inspired and assisted me in my homecoming.
Last year, I had the honour to ask Siets to come to my farm every week to work with me and my horses on working a totally new skill set. I enjoyed every single session.
Siets is now offering her new business for horse people. Called ECO OF PEGASUS, Siets offers a spiritual approach to life with horses through her lense as a Reiki practitioner, classical dressage, mountain trekking, Arabian horses and more.
She aims to create a space for human and horse possibilities to come together holistically and honestly.
She guides horse people who are struggling in their horse journey to create a more aligned partnership with their horse, that is focused on the horse persons SELF CARE as the first priority.
I am so excited for her new venture and highly recommend working with her.
I miss her greatly and look forward to bringing her to my farm for another deep dive together.

She did not disappoint.

Feels Like An Advanced Nervous System with Kat HoSoo Lee
Consider Joining the EH Foundation Online Course here: https://www.emotionalhorsemanship.com/emotional-horsemanship-foundation-online-course
Learn more about Kat HERE: https://kathosoolee.com/
Kat Ho Soo Lee is a spiritual business mentor. She is also the host of the Emotional Alchemy Podcast of which I have happily visited at least twice as a guest speaker.
Kat takes a trauma informed lense to the practice of running our own businesses. She enfolds somatic, scientific, spiritual and nervous system knowledge into a holistic mentoring role, guiding today’s business owner to thrive in AND enjoy running their own business.
She is also a client who has taken lessons with me. Which to my delight I discovered a self professed beginner with horses, to possess an advanced skill set towards horses.
Her work in the nervous system, in movement, in traditional eastern medicine and trauma informed practices naturally makes her a brilliant horse woman.
She lives in Washington state, has a ranch of her own, and in spring of 2024 she showed up to my Washington State clinic and was a powerful voice in that space.
Kat is the first of a series of podcasts where I present people whom on the surface appear to be new to horses, and yet possess skill, feel, understanding and knowledge that even lifelong horse people struggle at times, to embody.
I present such guests here, alongside industry figure heads such as Temple Grandin and Celeste Lazarus, because it is never my opinion that only decades of experience can help you be excellent with a horse.
Sometimes, from the mouths of beginners, comes the ultimate feel of horse-sense. From the mind of the fresh, we find logic and horsemanship is not solely gate kept, by the uber experiences, but can be embodies more immediately, from a multi-disciplinary approach.

Find out more about Kathy here: https://www.intrinzen.horse/ https://www.pantherflow.com/ https://www.instagram.com/pantherflows https://www.instagram.com/intrinzen/
Kathy Sierra is a self confessed controversial figure to the horse world, and for that reason and many others, I absolutely adore her.
In my opinion, Kathy Sierra is at least 50 years ahead of her time.
Kathy comes to horses from a unique multi-disciplinary background; she majored in exercise physiology at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and worked in the fitness industry for 10 years. She graduated in computer programming from UCLA and then enjoyed a long career in silicone valley in tech, being a pioneer in digital technologies in the 1990’s. She has published books on computer programming and specialises in game design… where she became an international expert in the neuroendocrine physiology of PLAY and how to use it according to science to improve intrinsic motivation.
She has a deep interest in cognitive science driven from her own diagnosis of epilepsy.
After a long career in tech Kathy left that career after she fell victim to serious online harrassment that included doxing, death threats, doctored images of her face next to a noose posted on blogs and forums, and her threats were reported in the news. After infamous and self professed internet trolls admitted their responsibility for the harassment to the New York Times, Kathy saw this as a sign to step back from her career in computer programming and technology. The harassment was driven from of course, her pioneering and fearless approach to promoting the absolute best and most cutting edge information available to us… no matter whose feathers it may ruffle.
Kathy comes from a horsey family, her sister being a very dedicated dressage rider, and Kathy herself being a lifelong fan of the Icelandic breed.
She took her understanding of cognitive science, play science, pain science and the mammalian neuroendocrine system and began a grassroots movement on instagram called at the time INTRINZEN she she presented scientifically cutting edge principals of the above and how it relates to horses.
using those principals her students then make unique implementations and adapatations to their horses. Her work has the potential to completely throw out an outdated biomechanics model of horse training and usher in a new, more fun, more free, lesss fearful future of physical training and development of horses.
For this reason, she is often the persona non grata to many horse traiers and biomechanics experts because her wide and deep knowledge base cuts their work out at core as being based on bad science.
Kathy is a friend. Someone who has always supported me, often at ties when nobody else did. She is not someone whom I agree with on everything, but I don’t need universal consensus to love, respect and learn from my colleagues.
It is my pleasure to present this conversation with Kathy on the podcast. I have old conversations between us already up on Youtube, but this is a fresh one! Enjoy!

She has been the subject of multiple documentaries. And the subject of a biographic television film entitled Temple Grandin, where she was depicted by actress Claire Danes, that was nominated for 15 primetime Emmy Awards, winning 7.
Beyond being an omnipresent figure in multiple books written about animal welfare, animal science, the human food chain and autism, she has also written 27 books and still counting and she has published more than 60 peer reviewed scientific papers on a variety of animal related subjects.
Temple is a hero of mine and someones whose work I have studied extensively. She inspired my journey into new ways of training horses from an ethical and welfare driven perspectives. Her books are both enjoyable and richly informative.
Temple was happy to offer me an hour of her time to appear on her podcast, which we recorded in her kitchen.
It was my honour to speak with her and I hope you enjoy this conversation!

About KIM HALLIN
Mission: At Unbridled, our mission is to empower horse lovers to establish and maintain healthy boundaries in their interactions with others, including in the horse industry. Through experiential education, online learning and mentoring support, we provide the tools and resources necessary for navigating the complexities of human relationships, especially within the equine community. By fostering empathy, understanding, and community, we strive to help horse lovers across the globe find more peace in their lives, and in their relationships.
Vision: Our vision at Unbridled is a world (including the horse industry!) where individuals thrive in authentic and respectful relationships, free from the constraints of outdated narratives and power dynamics. We envision a future where healthy boundaries serve as the foundation for harmonious interactions, fostering a culture of mutual understanding, personal growth, and collective wellbeing. It's all about honoring the dignity and autonomy of every individual – horse, human and otherwise.
Our Approach: Drawing inspiration from nature and the wisdom of horses, we offer a unique (and fun!) approach to learning about yourself and understanding what it means to embody healthy boundaries. By harnessing the power of herd observation, staying grounded in what's true (equine ethology), and spending quiet time with horses–and ourselves– in the most natural ways possible, we become students who get to learn from the masters of the Boundary Dance (horses!).
Empowerment Through Experiential Learning: Our courses and programs are designed to provide interactive, relationship-based experiences that provide practical skills for establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries in your relationships with people and horses. We'll help you find your voice, learn to advocate lovingly for yourself and the horses in your life, and embrace courageous authenticity.

Feels Like Colt Starting Collaboration with Louise Bach Holler
The EH Foundation Online Course https://www.emotionalhorsemanship.com/emotional-horsemanship-foundation-online-course
Contact Louise Here: https://rebelhorsecare.eu/about/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077252592464
Louise Bach Holler is my guest on the podcast today, for a good reason!
Louise is a horse trainer and hoofcare provider certified with the AANHCP who was born in Denmark but currently lives in north east Spain.
Louise is passionate about natural horse keeping, barefoot trimming, and a training that blends food rewards with gentle pressure to fully educate and support a horse in their training in the best way possible.
She has competency in gymnastic groundwork, bitless riding, communication, body language, liberty work and much more.
Side bar, two years ago, I came into care of a Quarter horse colt named Oki. His breeder and I have been collaborating on his slow and gradual upbringing at his original home for the last two years. But this week, the first week of July 2024, Oki transports from one side of Spain to the other, to begin the next chapter of his life as he joins the EH herd here at my farm.
Transporting a 2 year old horse who has always lived at home across a country is a huge thing to ask of him. So I knew I needed help.
I hired Louise 6 months ago, to be my hands, my eyes, my help to train Oki to be best prepared as possible to travel. I am thrilled with the job she has done. So I thought you guys might like to meet her yourself!
I hope you enjoy this episode!

Feels Like Looking at the Beginning with Izabella Flemming
THE EH FOUNDATION ONLINE COURSE https://www.emotionalhorsemanship.com/emotional-horsemanship-foundation-online-course
Continuing on the Polish guest theme from last week, my guest this week is Isabella Flemming. Isa is the reason I got my start with horses. She ran the stable in Poland where I gained my beginnings as an equestrian, as a trainer and as a horseman.
Without Isabella, I would not have had access to horses at a crucial time in my life. But not just any sort of access. Access to horses who lived good lives, were trained and cared for well.
She is one of my mentors, my foundational teachers. And though she doesn’t work with horses anymore, her story is one I am sure many listeners will resonate with.
I brought Isa and her daughter to my farm recently, to show Isa that her kindness, her generosity, her support was not wasted. To show her what she helped me do in my life. It was a full circle moment for me, and I think for her too.
If you are interested in knowing the end, look at the beginning. Here is how I got my beginning.

Before we can implement strategies and tools for this, we need to understand WHY a horse has stopped moving. And not all solutions to a lack of movement involve, making them move again.
