In this episode, faulty member Laura Marie of Wild Awake Woman shares her experiences in the show horse industry. She speaks to her evolution—from engaging in a more traditional approach with horses to developing a partnership through Equine Guided Coaching. As her relationship with horses has deepened, so has her perspective on the industry and the way she chooses to show up within it.

Laura offers tangible strategies that can support anyone navigating this world, from selecting the right coach and barn to building and maintaining a meaningful connection with your horse. She also shares how individuals within the industry can help drive the changes she hopes to see in the equine showing world.

This episode is packed with insight, hard truths, and an inside look at the realities of this world—for both horses and their owners. We hope it inspires learning, growth, and a deeper connection with your equine partners.

In this episode, Breanne Kerr and Brittany Ashworth dive deep into their transformative journeys with their horses—journeys that not only reshaped their relationships and lives of their horses but also led them to powerful self-growth and healing. They share the lessons learned along the way, the challenges of accountability (both for themselves and their horses), and the incredible parallels between their personal healing and their equine partnerships.

Reflecting on their evolution, Breanne and Brittany explore how their awareness of themselves and their horses has shifted over time and why it’s so important to meet both human and horse where they are today—not where they once were. If you’ve ever felt a deep connection with an animal or wondered how personal growth and horse partnership intertwine, this conversation is for you.

On our latest podcast episode we are unpacking the notion of "bad behaviour" in our horse partners.

In recent weeks we have had conversation with some of our students around some horse behaviour that was manifesting and what to do about it and if it was "safe" for people to be around.

What our philosophy around this is here, there is no "bad behaviour" there is horse behaviour and certain behaviours that can be triggered by past experiences that we need to know how to tend to and support in our horse partners.

There is a dance between holding our horses in the space of consent and honoring their communicaiton, while also having the space of being able to handle them outside of our purpose with them and knowing how to hold that in a way that still honors the horse.

There are a few pieces we speak to in this podcast, that we are excited to bring to our community.
