EP 24: Itchy Professionals

I think we’ve all experienced that dreaded moment when your farrier says, “I have bad news; I’m moving to the moon.” Ha! It doesn’t matter where she or he is moving, if they can’t take care of your horses feet anymore, they may as well be moving to the moon. Your heart sinks, you start to sweat, and then the real panic sets in. Where on earth am I going to find someone as good?!

Or maybe you run a boarding barn and your stall mucker showed up late one too many times for her own good. Where do you start? Craigslist? Indeed? Your local paper? Just the thought of all this logistical malarkey is enough to make any horse person break out in hives. And that’s what we’re talking about today – a new online service that connects horse owners with horse professionals.

Oh, and we’ve got something to say about hives, as well. If you’ve ever handled hay and walked away with itchy, screaming welts or hives, you don’t want to miss this episode, so listen in!

EP 23: A Conversation with Emma Ford

We’re going world class today with a guest who works at the top level of our sport. She’s the kind of person who’s brain you could pick for days on end and still never feel satisfied. Her name is Emma Ford, and her career as a professional groom, most notably as Olympian Phillip Dutton’s groom, affords her an expertise in horse care that few can rival. The exception would be Cat Hill. You see, Emma and Cat wrote a fabulous book together. It’s called World Class Grooming for Horses, and every horse owner should have this book in their horse library because IT. IS. AWESOME. And by awesome, we mean, Has Lots of Pictures.

Emma joins Helena in this episode to talk about how she got to where she is today, what has kept her on the Phillip Dutton Eventing team for so long, and a few pro tips you may be surprised to hear. Listen in!

In this episode, Helena shares 10 tips for helping to keep your small turnout in tip-top shape. Plus, we review an innovative product that can help keep that grass in tact. Listen in!

EP 21: A Compassionate Equestrian

In our continuing series on horse books we recommend for your stable’s library, we feature a great new book called The Compassionate Equestrian.

The book, co-authored by Susan Gordon and Dr. Allen Schoen, DVM, describes 25 principles that compassionate equestrians use as a guide to create healthy and productive relationships with their horses.

One such equestrian is today’s guest: Melissa Deal, a dressage trainer and horse behavior specialist who talks with us about how Compassionate Equitation can improve your horse’s attitude, help you achieve your riding goals, and create a more harmonious relationship with your horse. It’s a really interesting conversation. Listen in!
