Podcasts about your horse live

OK in this week's rather random monologue - barefoot shopping in London, as well as a photoshoot on Oxford Street which got tourists excited! A trip to Fairfax & Favor HQ and a report from Your Horse Live!

Whether you love it or loathe it, clipping season is here once again and it is a subject that EquiTeam's Liz Daniels could chat for hours about! While Liz Somerville is trying to rein Liz D in, the pair chat about their clipping experiences including Liz D being a clipping demonstrator for many years at Your Horse Live. We've tried to condense it so in this episode you will find lots of helpful tips on everything from preparation to achieving the perfect clip and of course safety and whether we should be wearing hard hats, their favourite clippers and their pet hates.

Kieran Smith is an equestrian content creator, a TikTok star with over 200k followers, and I had the pleasure of chatting to him at Your Horse Live this year on the stage. And from that chat, I knew I had to get him on the podcast for you! Kieran chats about jumping on dance trends to grow his TikTok, but then changing his strategy and fully embracing who he was to allow his fans and followers to get to know him properly. A move that saw his account growth accelerate. On this episode, Kieran talks about community, connection, spreading positivity, being authentically you and so much more. It's a great listen. Enjoy.

If a podcast could be a newsletter, this is the one! As we start Podmas next week (eek!), I wanted to share a bit about that with you, and when I started chatting about that and how it all works and why, I then wanted to share some other bits with you too! These include Small Business Saturday (I'm one of the #SBS100 for 2022), Your Horse Live (I'm speaking on the stage each day) and so much more! There's also info about free webinars, live Rider Clinics with Dr Diane Fisher- CMO of BETA, BETA at Your Horse Live, awards, Christmas markets and so much more. Enjoy!

In this episode Karla gives a behind the scenes from Your Horse Live. Katie and Karla go way off piste in a rematch of show jumper vs eventer. They answer questions about horse injuries, shoeing and having a career in horses and finish with a pungent wanker of the week.

Elise’s guest today is Jim Masterson, creator of the Masterson Equine Bodywork — an innovative form of equine massage that allows the horse to release pain and tension in muscles and connective tissue. It’s based on the use of light touch and gentle movement in a relaxed state, as well as careful observation of the horse’s response. It not only helps with a horse’s overall wellness, but it also improves the communication and relationship between a horse and their rider.    Jim has applied his method of equine massage on behalf of the U.S. Equestrian Team’s Endurance Team and for horses competing in FEI World Cup, Pan American, and World Games competitions. He has also worked on equine competitors on the U.S. Hunter-Jumper Show circuit, including top events such as the USEF and Maclay Medal series, and FEI Grand Prix, Nation’s Cup, Pan American, and World Cup jumping events. And Jim has helped members of the USET Singles Driving Team and of the USET Jumping team.    An international clinician, Jim has presented to large crowds of enthusiastic horse owners around the world, including the Equitana Asia Pacific and Equine Affaire equine conventions and Your Horse Live event in the UK.   In this week’s episode, Elise and Jim discuss the Masterson Method in detail and some of the most significant results it brings. He shares many details about the “magic” and science behind the method, how anyone can incorporate it in their own routine, and how to become officially certified.
