Podcasts about equine assisted therapy

Could working with animals be the key to helping children with ADHD regulate their emotions and build confidence? In this episode of The Soaring Child, host Dana Kay explores the transformative world of equine-assisted therapy. She's joined by Caz Pringle-Bowden, a yoga facilitator, counselor, and equine therapy expert who has worked with hundreds of neurodivergent children. Caz shares how horses offer a unique form of emotional and nervous system regulation, helping children develop focus, self-awareness, and trust in ways that traditional therapies often cannot. Beyond the horse paddock, Caz also teaches yoga and boxing to youth in juvenile detention and designs neurodiversity training for educators. As a neurodivergent woman herself, she brings a deeply personal perspective to her work. In this conversation, she explains why horses have a profound impact on children with ADHD, how parents can incorporate similar strategies at home, and why rethinking the narrative around ADHD is essential for supporting neurodivergent kids.

[4:21] The Science Behind Horses and the Nervous System [6:54] How Equine Therapy Helps Kids with ADHD [5:22] The Power of Changing the Narrative for Neurodivergent Kids [20:22] Real-Life Success Stories from Equine Therapy [34:08] How Parents Can Apply These Lessons at Home Memorable Moments: "Horses are not tools to be used. They have thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences, and another system just like ours." "It is an absolutely powerful and helpful alternative to clinical interventions that works for people that may not be able to sit down in a chair and talk to someone." "They can hear a heartbeat from up to 10 meters away. So, heart rate variability—if we are excited or nervous, they're going to hear that." "You cannot lie to a horse." "By working with a horse, we're actually working with new stories, new stories of hope, resilience, and capacity to counteract those negative stories that that child might have heard." "When someone is regulated and they're okay, the horse gives trust, and when a horse gives trust, it is real—very, very real." "It's just 10% of the time that the teachers see it, and they judge me for it. And they only know that 10% of me. They know 10%. They don't know the other 90. They're not even interested." "If we think—if we have the thought in our head—that our kid is trying all the time to regulate themselves, and they don't know how… they are trying."

If you've ever felt misunderstood, struggled with trauma, or wanted a real, unfiltered look at living with CPTSD, DID, and BPD, this episode is for you.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/victor-janzenIn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, I had the honor of sitting down with Victor Janzen, a mental health and addictions community reforms advocate, to talk about his experiences living with Complex PTSD (CPTSD), Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Victor's story isn't just about diagnoses—it's about survival, resilience, and the raw reality of navigating life with mental illness.We kicked things off with a bit of humor, as Victor shared about his life in Ontario, Canada, his career as a project manager, and his love for reading. He talked about his shift from fiction to non-fiction, particularly his obsession with understanding the mental health industry—not just as a patient, but as someone who's seen firsthand how it's structured more as a business model than a system designed to help people.Victor opened up about living with DID, explaining that he has 17 distinct personalities, each with its own role and characteristics. Some identities protect him, while others—like Harris and The Beast—can be destructive. He described how his early childhood trauma, starting at just four years old, caused his brain to fragment, creating these identities as a means of survival. He also touched on the eerie experience of reading poetry written by one of his alters, The Poet, often seeing words and ideas that he doesn't consciously remember writing.One of the most intense parts of the conversation was Victor's explanation of his nightly experiences—two-hour episodes where his brain essentially “rewires” itself, forcing him to relive past trauma in vivid, painful detail. He described it as the complete “atomization of self,” where he loses all sense of reality and has to re-teach himself basic motor functions like walking and balancing once it's over. Despite the overwhelming nature of these experiences, he has learned to approach them with a sense of dark humor, knowing that fear only fuels the fire.We also talked about the mental health system, both in Canada and the U.S., and Victor didn't hold back. He described the system as flawed, dismissive, and, at times, outright abusive. His personal battles within the system—from being institutionalized to fighting for his own medical records—highlight the lack of true patient advocacy and care.Victor also shared his experiences with different therapeutic approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and Equine-Assisted Therapy. He praised DBT for being developed by someone with lived experience, but warned that prolonged exposure therapy is not for the faint of heart. His work with horses, however, has been a game-changer, helping him regulate his nervous system and develop a deeper understanding of emotional energy.Through it all, Victor remains brutally honest about his struggles, his lack of trust in the system, and his belief that there's no “fix” for mental illness—only the ability to understand and manage it. His goal? To keep fighting, keep learning, and help others in the process.This conversation was real, raw, and one you don't want to miss.

On this week's milestone podcast, we celebrate our 200th episode with former The Bodywork Project alumni and bodyworker extraordinaire, Julie Taylor. Tune in to hear Julie interview me about this exciting occasion, and learn what it's like to spend half a decade producing a podcast for massage therapists and bodyworkers on the business side of their practices. (Spoiler: It's terrific!) “What I've learned over the 5 years I've been doing this is that I'm starting to lean more into who I am. What does that mean? I am unapologetically Old School. I know that our industry, our work, is absolutely about connecting with people one on one, holding space for them, being present, being neutral, and I'm going to lean into that more. I've grown into comfort and confidence. This is who I am and this is what I've seen work over and over again.” — Mindy Totten This week on the Do It With Intention Podcast: Learn why I decided to start a podcast and maintain it on a consistent basis, and an astonishing statistic about how long the average podcast lasts. How women in particular have a hard time embracing what they've built and having pride in their accomplishments. Find out what “perfection paralysis” and “the first pancake” are and how to overcome them. Hint: You can't control everything. Learn how (and why) to start a podcast, some challenges involved in producing one, and the fun parts too.   Resources from this episode: Julie Taylor is a women's health nurse practitioner (WHNP-BC), nurse herbalist, Science of Energy Flow® Foot Reflexology Practitioner, and Herbal Diplomat® whose practice, Integrative Solutions for Health, helps people take charge of their own health/healing and encourages everyone to actively engage in self-care.

MY NEW NORM Podcast- S5 E2Guest: LAUREL MANNINGEpisode: HORSE THERAPY Host: BARRY SCOTT YOUNGProduced by BEARANOOGA PRODUCTIONSIn this episode, it's about some amazing animals.

Equine-assisted therapy ranges from basic interaction with horses, all the way up to competitive riding. Over the past 30 years, the four-legged friends at Rainbow Riders in St. John's have helped hundreds of young people.Our Morning Show reporter Darrell Roberts visited their stables on Mount Scio Road in St. John's to learn more about the program. 

Jane Faulkner is a household name, at least in Equine Assisted circles, down in Australia. And with good reason. Like many people who have come to the Equine Assisted world from an originally non horsy background, she has brought a therapist's perspective to our often overly horse-focussed field. Equine Assisted Therapy, Australia - Jane's organization - draws on her experience in nursing, and Gestalt therapy  - an approach to psychotherapy that helps clients concentrate on the present to understand what is actually happening in their lives at this moment and to help resolve conflicts both internally and with the world at large. She's also a yoga buff and discovered decades ago how movement and emotional and mental health are inextricably linked. Though a latecomer to horses, Jane dived in thoroughly - becoming a certified riding instructor and trail guide in Australia and gradually acquiring her own herd on the Gold Coast of Queensland.  But there is much, much more to her story than this - how travels in Europe and then into the dodgier areas of South America and further afield brought her face to face with conflict, how people from different cultures even within their own country often misunderstand each other, and how to bridge those gaps, and therefore how all of us often misunderstand ourselves and what to do about it. And how the horse, as ever, lends itself as a healer,  a mirror, a helper. So listen on, there is much to learn from Jane's story and the methodologies she has helped create.Find Jane's Programs: Equine Assisted Australia: https://equineassistedtherapyaustralia.com.au/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/equineassistedtherapyaustraliaInsta: https://www.instagram.com/equineassistedtherapyaustralia/Find our other shows and programs:https://rupertisaacson.com

Original Air Date: January 16, 2023 Lisa is joined by an incredibly important person in her life - Duey Freeman, a former professor at Naropa University (Lisa's alma mater) and founder of the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies and the Gestalt Equine Institute. Duey, a true “elder” (as he is described by many) and mentor in the field of attachment and human development, was Lisa's former graduate school professor and has been one the most instrumental professors in her career. (see below for Duey's full bio*) Get ready to learn about a new way to conceptualize the attachment process and human development- a theory that just may be a foundational piece of missing information in your work as a therapist, as well as how Duey uses equine therapy to re-heal attachment disruptions. This podcast isn't just for those that work for horses - this information is a must hear for everyone!  Here's what you'll hear in this episode …  An attachment and human development theory that is usable clinically when working with people - the Freeman Attachment Cycle (Lisa integrates this model into her Synergetic Play Therapy courses); The reason why we're always supporting clients in working through the first stages of development ("Is the world ok?" and "Am I ok?") whether we're working with a child that is 3 years old or 50 years old; What happens for a child when their attachment and developmental needs are not met;  How to bring instinct and intuition back into all our relationships and into all our therapeutic relationships; and How Duey's work with horses and equine therapy can give us greater understanding about our work in the playroom (plus you'll hear something amazing about what happens when a person is put on a horse and having them be moved by a horse...it's absolutely amazing!) This one will not only give you an amazing new lens from which to see your client work and how to become a therapist WITH your clients, but connect you to your own attachment and life experiences at a really deep level (...It might even bring tears to your eyes). *Duey Freeman is a sought after teacher, trainer, licensed therapist, and equine professional around the world. He has traveled to teach professionally in over 8 countries, has developed a practical attachment theory and human development theory that is taught to thousands of university students, has over 80,000 direct client hours, and co-founded both the Gestalt Equine Institute and the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies. He provides supervision to therapists and graduate students, does business and land consultations for new equine therapy sites, and models being a life-long student to your passions.

It is with the utmost pleasure I speak with Rebecca Bailey PhD. Polyvagal Equine Institute (PVEI) Founder.Dr . Bailey is a leading trauma therapist who specializes in complex case scenarios. She has over 30 years of experience in the field and continues to be dedicated to the notion that authenticity, common sense, and kindness are the most important elements of effective treatment. She is a lifelong equestrian and animal lover who continues to believe animals, in particular horses, have much to teach humans about curiosity and compassion.She is the author of two books: Safe Kids: Smart Parents and Equine Connections: Polyvagal Principles as well as articles on Polyvagal principles in the courtroom and the application of equine interventions to a variety of populations. I loved speaking with Rebecca and am so looking forward to our ongoing collaboration about implementing SSP with stressed and anxious horses as well as horse and rider connection.

Marc Cox & Bo Matthews speak with Lulu Bogolin from Equine Assist Therapy. The recreational nature of the Equine-Assisted Activities program allows a source of hope for people with disabilities. They can leave the standard clinical setting and enjoy an independence they never thought would be available to them. The Equine-Assisted Learning Program is an experiential education program that harnesses the power of relationship with the horse as a path to self-discovery and growth. This is not a typical horseback riding class. Riding is offered as part of some Equine-Assisted Learning classes, but it is not the main focus. Silver Saddles is a program for able bodied riders that are 55+ years old. The Veterans Program facilitates a relationship and a bond between the veteran and his or her horse. They are having their Cornhole Tournament 2023 Sunday, March 12th at 3369 Hwy 109 Wildwood, MO 63038 Check in at 10am – Bags fly at 10:30am $60 per team – $35 for single registrant Will take place rain or shine in our indoor arena. https://eatherapy.org/

This podcast isn't just for those that work for horses - this information is a must hear for everyone!  Here's what you'll hear in this episode …  An attachment and human development theory that is usable clinically when working with people - the Freeman Attachment Cycle (Lisa integrates this model into her Synergetic Play Therapy courses); The reason why we're always supporting clients in working through the first stages of development ("Is the world ok?" and "Am I ok?") whether we're working with a child that is 3 years old or 50 years old; What happens for a child when their attachment and developmental needs are not met;  How to bring instinct and intuition back into all our relationships and into all our therapeutic relationships; and How Duey's work with horses and equine therapy can give us greater understanding about our work in the playroom (plus you'll hear something amazing about what happens when a person is put on a horse and having them be moved by a horse...it's absolutely amazing!) This one will not only give you an amazing new lens from which to see your client work and how to become a therapist WITH your clients, but connect you to your own attachment and life experiences at a really deep level (...It might even bring tears to your eyes). *Duey Freeman is a sought after teacher, trainer, licensed therapist, and equine professional around the world. He has traveled to teach professionally in over 8 countries, has developed a practical attachment theory and human development theory that is taught to thousands of university students, has over 80,000 direct client hours, and co-founded both the Gestalt Equine Institute and the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies.

We re-visit the interview with Sheila Varian (August 8, 1937 – March 6, 2016) of Varian Arabians since 1954. She used vaquero-influenced methods of training horses, although she adapted her technique to fit the character of the Arabian horse which she viewed as requiring a smart yet gentle approach. We were privileged to record her commitment to the horses first.  Patricia E. Kelly founded Ebony Horsewomen, Inc. an equestrian nonprofit community-service organization, operated by African American female equestrians whose mission is to encourage and empower youth toward positive and successful lives through the use of horses and Equine Assisted Therapy since 1984.
