Emma Barton is joined by her dance-partner-in-crime, Anton Du Beke, and Blue Cross Animal Behaviourist, Leigh-Ann Reed, to discuss how pet owners can best manage their pets in social situations – especially over the busy summer period.Whether you're at your local park, dropping by a friend's house, or away on staycation, socialising your pet – with both humans and other pets - can come with its challenges. In this episode, Emma, Anton, and Leigh-Ann, share some tips and advice on how to keep your pet safe, happy, and relaxed in such social situations.Leigh-Ann also shares her expertise on what signs of stress and anxiety to be aware of in your pets whilst you are out and about, so that pet owners can feel confident managing this type of behaviour:“Try to avoid forcing [your dog's] into situations, so if they seem reluctant that is probably your first sign that they are struggling a little. But really, as they are all so individual, different things can frighten different pets. So, it is the case of watching your dog, learning to read their body language and what they are trying to tell you and then responding appropriately.” Useful links on how to socialise your pets this summerWalking your dog in a group with other four-legged friends can be lots of fun but requires preparation and focused training. Before you em-bark on this journey read Blue Cross's guide on group walking with your dog: https://www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-advice/group-walking-with-your-dog Some dogs have never seen a horse before, and if they are scared or nervous they may react by chasing the horse.

Daniella Virata is an equestrienne from a family of horse enthusiasts and competitive riders. She herself has entered several show jumping competitions around the world and earned certifications from the British Horse Society and International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI). A stint as a riding instructor in Singapore introduced Danni to the world of equine assisted therapy, as she worked on the Equine Assisted Learning (EQUAL) program co-developed by the Equestrian Federation of Singapore to cater to at-risk youth. Her teaching standards have been approved by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH Int'l) and the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA). Danni comes alive when talking about all things equine, including how they've been man's partner since the dawn of civilization, and what humans can learn from these magnificent creatures. She outlines all the hard work behind the perceived glamor (think concussions, cleaning the arena, and caring for horses with colic), strides being made for inclusivity in the sport, and how she helped spearhead emergency rescue ops for 150 ponies that had to be evacuated when Taal Volcano erupted in 2020. Danni and her siblings now run DXD Equestrian Specialists, Inc., which offers group and private riding lessons, catering to aspiring competitors, adult leisure riders, and beginners. Headquartered at Rancho Leonor in Silang, Cavite (just outside Metro Manila), DXD's home base is a place to relax, enjoy nature, and appreciate the simple joys of life around animals. We hope this episode will be a breath of fresh air to animal lovers and anyone missing nature right now!

This week I am joined by Alan Hiscox, Director of Safety at the British Horse Society. Road Safety is something I am really really passionate about. As someone who rides on the roads regularly, I have experienced a number of 'close calls' with drivers not respecting how much space my horse and I need, or speeding past and causing them to spook. Alan shares all the fantastic work the BHS are doing to report road incidents, raise awareness, and working with other road use groups/ governing bodies to support the safety of horse riders on the road.Find out more about Road Safety Week -https://www.bhs.org.uk/our-work/safety/road-safetyReport an Incident with the BHS -https://www.bhs.org.uk/our-work/safety/report-an-incident

Episode 50!! With this episode, my 40th birthday on Tuesday, and the entire globe navigating entirely unprecedented times with Covid-19, I'm feeling like there are milestones everywhere. Thankful to have Jayne Roberts join me to share her Equi-nidra work, a practice of yoga that centres around slowing down, breathing, and learning to be with stillness and with change. We talked about the impact of this crisis on our time with horses, and even our ability to ride, and things to support our ability to be with so much change. An important episode for sure, and a great way to hit 50 (and 40!).  Jayne Roberts is a horse woman who wants to create a world where we're all one big healthy happy herd. She combines over four decades of equine industry experience, research and qualifications (and a whole lotta life!) to help women and horses to nourish and flourish, beginning with the grassroots of Forage, Friendship and Freedom. As an international equestrienne, Jayne coaches clients around the world and has played a pivotal role in the development and management of several equine enterprises in the UK, USA and Australia. She holds an MSc & BSc in Equine Science, is a Registered Animal Nutritionist, Certified Holistic Land Management Practitioner & most recently Feminine Embodiment Yoga & iRest Meditation Teacher. In addition to guest lecturing at the University of Edinburgh and supervising post-graduate research, Jayne has published peer-reviewed papers in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science and regularly contributes to equine publications and industry groups. Along with traditional Pony Club, British Horse Society & competitive show jumping beginnings she shakes things up with a wealth of untraditional, real ‘n raw as a rural ambulatory Equine Vet Tech! With one foot in the science stirrup, and one firmly grounded on the yoga mat, she's currently deconstructing much of what she learnt in her first round. Her heart-felt purpose is to help deepen the horse-human relationship and live a life that is wildly nourished, intimately connected and lived with a felt-sense of true freedom. If you'd like to come along for the ride, you can find her at www.equijay.com or on Facebook or Instagram.

Riding on the roads is unavoidable for the majority of equestrians in the UK, but incidents with cars and other vehicles are widely reported. To support Road Safety Week, Rachel sits down with Alan Hiscox, Director of Safety at the British Horse Society, to find out what riders can do to make sure they and their horses are as safe as possible when riding on the roads. They also discuss what the British Horse Society is doing to improve education and understanding around riding and road safety to help ensure that fewer incidents are seen in the future. 

Topics that caught my eye for this episode are volunteering and loan agreements. Volunteering at equestrian events is brilliant for meeting people, if like me you have a small circle of horsey friends. I also find it a great way of learning new things and seeing different parts of the country. You also never know what may happen! Listen to see what @SophiexJane witnessed. Loan agreements have been around for ages and we're no stranger to loans going wrong. One police force is reiterating the importance of having an agreement in place if you are loaning your horse as incidences of loan's going wrong is on the increase. Do some research and get an agreement drawn up to make sure you maintain 'ownership' and control of your horse as best you can while they're out on loan. It may also lend weight to your case if it goes wrong.

It's a fascinating chat and one that really makes you think about how you interact with horses on an individual level - Kingsmead's website is - www.kingsmeadhorses.co.uk Telephone - 0208 657 0832 Mobile - 07834 181614 Facebook - Kingsmead Equestrian Centre Twitter and Instagram - @KingsmeadHorses About Kingsmead Here at Kingmead we offer a combination of natural and traditional horsemanship to give every rider an understanding of the horses as we believe a good relationship and clear communication between horse and rider is the key to success. We welcome riders of all age and abilities. Our coaches work closely with each rider and together we plan a programme for you to work on and enjoy. We offer lessons in one of our three schools or if you prefer we can offer coaching whilst out hacking. Our primary aim is for riders to feel happy and confident; from these foundations everything else can grow. At Kingsmead Horses we can offer regular riding throughout the year or a one off session. Our all inclusive ethos caters for any age and ability; we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment combined with a tailored learning programme. We have chosen not to impose an arbitrary weight limit for our riders. Children with emotional, behavioural and social challenges can achieve and find working with the horses a highly rewarding experience. We have a range of suitable ponies who enjoy working with our riders with physical limitations. Many of our riders start out with our lead rein lessons where they can gain confidence and basic riding skills before progressing to our group lessons. Our lead rein rides are great for children and adults alike and many riders find they make excellent progress while enjoying the countryside. During these rides you may get to see a range of wildlife from foxes to deer, we have also seen buzzards, owls, pheasants as well a more usual birds and in the spring you can enjoy an abundance of bluebells and other native flowers. We cater for adult riders (as well as children), some starting out for the first time and others returning to riding after a long break, we have a range of horses to suit every one. We aim offer riding and social events including talks and outings. Please let us know if you would be interested in joining us , we welcome your feedback and ideas. At Kingsmead we offer an innovative approach to riding, by using Ground Work (sometimes known as Natural Horsemanship or Horse Whispering) riders can gain a deeper understanding about how their emotions impact on their horses and their riding. Working on the ground can enable nervous riders to see how they are influencing their horse when ridden whilst our more confident riders can explore ways to get the best from their mount. Ground Work involves anything from quiet moments with their pony to completing obstacle courses and playing ball games. You can see the pleasure on the handler's faces as they 'join up' with their pony and the pony follows them where ever they chose to go; having that relationship with a horse, even for such a short time, is truly amazing. We use Ground Work in our Equine Assisted Learning Programmes. We have a particular interest in complementary education alongside formal learning. We have young people here doing work experience to support their education and we provide regular riding for a number of children who are educated out of school. We offer a range of nationally recognised qualifications and can assist with the riding element of their GCSE's.

The comedian Jen Brister talks about what it was like becoming a non-biological mum. She had twin boys with her partner Chloe four years ago after several rounds of IVF, and it was Chloe who gave birth. She talks about the reaction of friends and professionals, and what she felt like herself having babies in this way - experiences she has written about in her book The Other Mother. With the rebel alliance of MPs attempting to prevent a no deal Brexit before parliament is prorogued next week, who are the women to watch, what are they thinking and how will they act this week? We're joined by Helen Lewis, staff writer for The Atlantic and Katy Balls, deputy political editor of The Spectator to discuss. Why a targeted screening programme for a common virus could help new born babies with hearing loss. It's called CMV. Most of us have had it, harmlessly...it feels like a cold but if you're pregnant it can have serious consequences - most commonly deafness. It's more common than Down's affecting 1000 babies a year in Britain but few health professionals know about it. Paediatrician, Dr Tamsin Brown has gathered health professionals together in the East of England and set up a targeted screening programme which she hopes will support the case for nationwide screening. Another in our series about young people at risk of getting into trouble and the people trying to help them. At a busy private stables in rural Worcestershire Steph works with girls who have been excluded from mainstream education – they have been offered a Changing Lives Though Horses course run by the British Horse Society as alternative way of educating/reaching/calming them. Jo Morris met Steph and the riding teachers Dan and Karen there with Britney, Emma and Libby.

This is Part Three of our conversation with Becky Chapman. Becky is a classical dressage riding instructor and biomechanics coach. She is also a clicker trainer. Becky has been sharing the journey which brought her to clicker training. Last week you heard the story of Gazelle, a mare who introduced herself to Becky by rearing up and falling over sideways. Becky still bought her and tried to turn her into a riding horse. She had two major falls from her that resulted in serious injuries that required long recovery times. In an odd way these injuries turned out to be a good thing. The long recovery gave Becky time to study subjects that were outside the normal British Horse Society teaching curriculum that had been her original formation. After she recovered from the second fall, she began riding with Mary Wanless. Becky described Mary as a very experienced biomechanics coach who approaches horse instructing with a physicist’s brain. Becky’s interpretation of Mary’s work is that most riders are part of the problem. So the question is how do we help riders to become part of the solution? That’s the question we’ll be exploring as we rejoin the conversation.

It's the return of Equijay's Jayne Roberts, joining us all the way from Australia, and diving right into all sorts of wonderfully uncomfortable places! We talked menstrual cycles, pleasure, sensuality, reproductive health, emotional intelligence and how integrated all of these things are with our relationship with our horses. A heads up, we get raw, we get vulnerable, I share some very personal things. So yes, it's awesome!  Jayne Roberts is a horse woman who wants to create a world where we're all one big healthy happy herd. She combines over four decades of equine industry experience, research and qualifications (and a whole lotta life!) to help women and horses to nourish and flourish, beginning with the grassroots of Forage, Friendship and Freedom. As an international equestrienne, Jayne coaches clients around the world and has played a pivotal role in the development and management of several equine enterprises in the UK, USA and Australia. She holds an MSc & BSc in Equine Science, is a Registered Animal Nutritionist, Certified Holistic Land Management Practitioner & most recently Feminine Embodiment Yoga & iRest Meditation Teacher. In addition to guest lecturing at the University of Edinburgh and supervising post-graduate research, Jayne has published peer-reviewed papers in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science and regularly contributes to equine publications and industry groups. Along with traditional Pony Club, British Horse Society & competitive show jumping beginnings she shakes things up with a wealth of untraditional, real ‘n raw as a rural ambulatory Equine Vet Tech! With one foot in the science stirrup, and one firmly grounded on the yoga mat, she's currently deconstructing much of what she learnt in her first round. Her heart-felt purpose is to help deepen the horse-human relationship and live a life that is wildly nourished, intimately connected and lived with a felt-sense of true freedom. If you'd like to come along for the ride, you can find her at www.equijay.com or on Facebook or Instagram.

Season 2 of the Whole Horse Podcast kicks off with a bang with the help of Equijay's Jayne Roberts, joining us all the way from Australia! We ventured into some taboo territory with our conversation about women and horses, riding with a free and flowing pelvis, where and how the masculine and feminine show up in the horse industry in healthy and not so healthy ways, and why pleasure has been left out of much of traditional horsemanship and riding. It was a wild and wooly ride shaking out the cobwebs and busting myths as we went. Enjoy!   Jayne Roberts is a horse woman who wants to create a world where we're all one big healthy happy herd.
