Addressing the potential training and developmental shortfalls of a side pull vs a bit. Many riders believe that encouraging horses to chew on bits is essential for their well-being. But what if a quiet mouth — rather than constant chewing — signals true comfort and softness? In this short episode, renowned trainer Mark Langley busts the myth that chewing is good for health. He unpacks the real connection between the horse's jaw, the TMJ, and emotional tension, revealing why a relaxed jaw doesn't necessarily mean the horse is actively chewing.

In this episode of Big Blend Radio's “ABC's of Horses” equestrian podcast, Christy Wood explores the essential concept of yielding in horse training and why it forms the foundation of effective communication between horse and rider. Christy explains the difference between yielding and stopping, emphasizing how yielding teaches horses to move away from pressure while remaining responsive and balanced. The conversation covers groundwork techniques, yielding under saddle, and how these skills support safety, trust, and harmony in all riding disciplines—from trail riding to dressage. You will also learn why patience, compassion, and clear communication are critical in helping horses understand yielding cues and develop confidence. Whether working on leg yielding, obstacle navigation, or everyday handling, this episode highlights how yielding creates a stronger partnership between horse and rider. Christy Wood is a World Champion horse trainer, extreme trail obstacle champion, author, instructor, and owner of Wood N Horse Training Stables in Three Rivers, California.

CORRECT SADDLE FIT & PLACEMENT PART 1 - MEREDITH HODGES - LUCKY THREE RANCH My equines taught me that in order to make an educated decision about which tack and equipment to use, one needs to take into account the anatomy of the equine and the effect it will have on his body movement.Good conformation is important in allowing the equine to perform to the best of his ability, but so is developing core strength elements (muscles, ligaments, tendons, soft tissue, and cartilage) such that the skeleton is ideally symmetrically supported. When developing the equine's body, it is important to know what feeds are the healthiest for him.There are lots of different ways to feed your equines today, but I have found a regimen that works best.Mule Talk is an Every Cowgirl's Dream production - www.EveryCowgirlsDream.Com www.MuleTalk.Net Meredith Hodges Interviews: www.LuckyThreeRanch.Com/Podcast-Appearances/

Most horse owners and trainers believe focusing on a horse's attention is enough to create cooperation—until they realize true awareness is a game-changer. In this episode, Mark Langley explains the difference between a horse simply looking at you and one that is fully aware of everything around it. Imagine a horse so attuned, it notices the tiniest finger wiggle from 15 meters away without losing its relaxed composure—this is the power of horse's awareness. Listen to understand how this awareness enhances your horse's relaxation, responsiveness, and trust without demanding their relentless focus. Also in this episode, help for a scared mini-show horse who can be very hard to catch. Join Mark Langley's Online Membership and start making your training more effective and your rides more enjoyable.
Neil, with co-host Kyle Johnson, welcome trainer Travis Dickinson, who starts each day in the gym and has 12–15 horses in training, mainly reined cow horses. Travis explains the three events—herd work, reining pattern, and fence work—and he and Kyle recount how they met when Kyle sought help learning reined cow horse after moving to California. Travis describes his background from construction and a strict, successful father to pursuing horse training, defines a "bridle horse" progression, and shares key training lessons about focus, circles, and knowing when to push or quit. The talk shifts to Travis's addiction history, 12-step recovery, two years of sobriety, faith, gratitude-list routine, and the importance of supportive partners, patience, and maintaining success.

In this fascinating and thoughtful episode of the Making Ripples podcast, we welcome Caroline Ritter—a positive reinforcement horse trainer, a certified Feldenkrais teacher, and a true behavior nerd with an academic background in cognitive science. Living and working in Vienna, Austria, Caroline shares her remarkable journey, starting from a life spent with horses, dogs, and cats, to her deep dive into learning theory through dog agility and clicker training. She discusses the pivotal moment that led her to switch her horses over to positive reinforcement, not out of necessity to solve problems, but from an ethical drive to improve communication and gentleness. A key turning point in Caroline's training history was attending a behavior-focused camp where she experienced Feldenkrais for the first time. This somatic learning method, which focuses on movement and awareness, quickly became a core principle, filling a gap in how she applies positive reinforcement to her entire life—including her relationship with her own body. Together, we explore the powerful synergy between positive reinforcement and the nonjudgmental, growth-focused principles of Feldenkrais: The Power of Nonjudgmental Observation: How both R+ and Feldenkrais emphasize realizing and appreciating your own patterns and automatic responses before trying to change them. From Negative to Positive Reinforcement: Caroline's analytical process of first dissecting her traditional, negative reinforcement-based riding cues (e.g., cue, reaction, release) before successfully transitioning her horses to R+ training. Feldenkrais in Animal Training: Applying the principles of balance, axis, and shared movement to her horse groundwork and even dog training, focusing on body awareness and nuances over verbal commands. Shaping Along the Movement Cycle: A deep discussion on the incredible precision and impact of when you choose to click, even in seemingly simple behaviors like walking. The Shared Intention: Moving toward a concept of working with animals where you have a mutual target or goal that goes beyond simply performing a shared movement. Disco Cavallo & Assisted Programs: The importance of designing horse-assisted programs that center the horse's initiative to ensure the animal benefits equally, avoiding the need for the animal to require "therapy after providing the therapy". Caroline's story is an inspiring reminder that the same curiosity, openness, and dedication we bring to training our animals can—and should—be applied to ourselves, paving the way for deeper connection and learning for all participants.

What a perfect way to finish off season 8! This episode with Dr. Barbara Parks was fun, fascinating and fully geeky - my fave. We turned over a lot of stones, discussing clicker training - why many people think it doesn't work, what can go wrong and how to move into a place of understanding and success with this very helpful tool, especially in the realm of body work and other care practices, getting into many of my burning questions about equine body work, from how to set a boundary with a client, to when to have a hard conversation with an owner, to what to do when your treatments aren't feeling like they are working. We traveled far in this conversation and it was a treat! This is definitely a must-listen episode if you are an equine manual therapist or if you have a body worker for your horse(s). After this episode we're taking a breather as I launch the Whole Horse Collective, my new communuty membership, based on nine years of the Whole Horse Apprenticeship. Keep your eyes peeled for more details! I'll be back for the start of season 9 in late November 2025 - more awesome horsey guests and mind and heart-opening conversations to come. See you then! Dr. Barbara Parks is a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Equine Rehabilitation Practitioner who has built her practice around the intersection of evidence-based rehabilitation and whole-horse wellness. Barbara holds multiple certifications, including NBCAAM-certified Equine Massage Therapist and PATH Intl. Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor, and has completed extensive continuing education in equine biomechanics, orthopedic assessment, hoof care, nutrition, and behavior. Her approach to equine rehabilitation is integrative and guided by a deep respect for the horse's physical and emotional experience. She specializes in using positive reinforcement training as both a therapeutic tool and a way to improve equine body awareness, movement, and emotional regulation during rehab. Based in the greater Nashville, Tennessee area, Barbara offers in-person therapy for horse and rider, virtual consultations, online educational courses, and rehab boarding on a track system designed to support natural movement and healing. Whether she's working with a high-level performance horse or helping a backyard companion recover from injury, Barbara's mission is the same: to support long-term soundness and whole-horse wellness through compassionate, informed care. https://www.drbarbaraparks.com/

What if fear isn't the problem, but staying stuck is?This isn't just about a horse. It's about every one of us who's been stuck, scared, running in circles trying to feel safe. At Horse Weekend, Todd Pierce shows us what happens when trust replaces fear, and love rewrites the story. Through the gentle, unscripted dance between a man and a horse, you'll see the gospel in real-time—no sermons, just surrender. This is a raw, powerful look at what happens when God moves and freedom begins.When fear says run, love says stay.This horse walked in guarded, unsure, and tense—just like many of us. But over the course of one hour, through gentle leadership and love, he softened, listened, and surrendered. Todd's interaction becomes a mirror for our souls, showing how God doesn't force us into obedience—He invites us into trust. This is what healing looks like when the gospel gets real and fear loses its grip.
