I stumbled across the amazing Connie Colfox on Horse & Country TV watching her use positive reinforcement to help top eventing riders with ‘problem’ horse behaviours.
She was able to really impress these riders with how quickly she could change these talented horse’s minds about something they were struggling with.
In the words of Connie: “We really want horses to feel comfortable in the world they live in. By giving them a broad grounding with positive reinforcement we build trust to take on the challenges we encounter together”.
I was particularly interested in what she said around the 23-minute mark of this episode, and I agree that what she mentions here is a huge part of horses performing beyond their natural capabilities - and conversely why sometimes performance drops despite better riding!
I found Connie to be extremely humble, despite her decades of horse experience and knowledge, and she shares a balanced view and open approach to horsemanship, forever observing and learning from the horse.
If you have a horse with some ‘problem’ behaviours or you are a performance rider curious about how positive reinforcement could help your horse, you will love this episode with Connie! Let me know what you think!

Often people will contact me for help with their new, young, or green horse.
It’s sometimes not until we have a new horse that we become curious and start to question how we can ‘best’ set up this new relationship.
Problems may arise with a new horse that we might not have had with a previous one, and we wonder how we can best help them.
It’s common to be a little afraid of making mistakes with a new horse, as not to ‘tarnish’ the new relationship.
In this episode, I talk about how you can start off on the ‘right’ path with your new horse so that you can have a healthy happy relationship with them AND achieve your riding goals.

Make a better life for horses...~𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒂 𝑩𝒐𝒍𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒆𝒌 Belinda rides dressage in a way that makes you stop and go: 'I want what she's got!' The horses look happy, athletic, and light. She is poised, elegant, and clearly an effective rider with very subtle aids. It's how dressage is supposed to be! When I saw videos of Belinda riding (and hearing her chat with Manolo Mendez and Andrew Turnball), I just *had* to interview her on the podcast to hear more and share her horsemanship ethos with the world... Belinda Bolsenbroek is an international authority on the Art of Classical Equitation in which the historic relationship between horse and human is expressed as a spiritual connection between two beings. Belinda harnesses the wisdom of the Old Masters, combines that wisdom with the science of biomechanics and shapes them both into a clear and defined practice that allows you to take your horsemanship to the next level. In this episode, we discuss: ⚜️ Belinda’s upbringing with horses from competitive riding on Dutch warmbloods, international competition, Olympic ambitions and her turning point towards classical dressage.⚜️ Belinda’s healthy and holistic approach to training horses.⚜️ The evolution of competitive dressage and why many classical riders don’t compete.⚜️ How contact should feel when it is based on connection not force.⚜️ Belinda’s interests in the thoracic sling, and nervous system of the horse.⚜️ The importance of reflection and questioning in your horsemanship journey.⚜️ Belinda’s viewpoint on contact with the reins and how it should feel. ⚜️ Her interesting answer to the favourite horse purchase question! I think Belinda might be starting a new trend with this one!⚜️ All the usual fun horsemanship breakthroughs questions.⚜️ Plus so much more!

“It’s never too late to change”
👉🏼 Click here to find out all about Andrea's Pure Liberty course: https://uu202.isrefer.com/go/pureliberty1/adh/
Andrea Wady has been riding since she was a child, competing in showjumping and endurance, and later running a successful horse tours company… but she always felt something was missing and wanted more in the relationship with her horses.
Moving to Costa Rica from the UK, Andrea’s journey took a turn down a path to find a way to connect with horses without coercion. Crossing the country of Costa Rica with fellow liberty trainer Elsa Sinclair (the creator of the Taming Wild movie series) they explored bonding with two very damaged rescue horses through movement and a liberty mindset.
Through this experience and years of study, Andrea found the missing piece in her horsemanship and the essence of creating relationship with horses. Andrea is now dedicated to helping others improve the relationship, trust, and bond with their own horses.
She is also the author of the newly released book ‘Crossing Bridges’ where she shares the enlightening journey of exploring Costa Rica on foot with the 2 damaged horses with the liberty mindset that she now teaches as ‘pure liberty’.
In this episode we discuss:
Andrea’s horsemanship journey from the traditional “make them do it” approach, to forming friendships with rescue horses across Costa Rica jungleAndrea’s realisations when she first attempted liberty with no equipment or treatsBeing open-minded, flexible, trusting yourself, and getting past your ego when being with horsesHow we as humans solve problems for our horses too muchListening to your horse as a basis for happy horse trainingTranscending physical cues in training horsesWhat is the concept of Pure Liberty, and how to get involved in doing it with your horseThe #1 mismatch between horses and humansAndrea’s book recommendations and her favourite horse-related purchaseWhy it’s never too late to change your path or approach with horsesPlus so much more!If you want to take a look at Andrea’s incredible online course ‘Pure Liberty’ you can find out all the details here: https://uu202.isrefer.com/go/pureliberty1/adh/____

Anja Beran trains horses with the classical principles of Horsemanship: with her sole aim being to ensure in the course of her life that an increasing number of people become familiar with the art of classical horsemanship. She hopes very much that a great number of riders will be able to experience serious enthusiasm for classical horsemanship in its true and original sense.
Anja runs her own farm and equestrian centre called "Gut Rosenhof" in Germany, she teaches numerous clinics and seminars in the United States, England, and all around the world.
Anja’s training philosophy is that Dressage is here for the horse and not the horse for the dressage, and she prides herself in adapting to the individual horse’s personality, solving any problem in a sensitive, horse-friendly way.
Anja focuses on the natural movement of the horse using gymnastic exercises to help horses find balance mentally and physically. She believes that each rider should contribute to their horse living a long, healthy and happy life which can only happen with a correct and holistic approach to horse care and training.
In this episode, we discuss:
Anja Beran’s journey to classical dressagePartnership, harmony, personality, balance, body and mind as a basis for training horsesRiding with ‘invisible aids’A holistic approach to horse’s happinessThe issues with nosebands and auxiliary/side reinsThe origins of dressage and how it has changed over the yearsThe potential future of modern dressage competitionWhat the ultimate contact should feel like from a young horse to advancedClassical dressage as a form of physical therapy for horsesHow classical dressage has transformed the lives of horses destined for euthanasiaHer favourite classical masters & their booksWhat is meant by riding the horse from back to frontAnja’s mission to have ‘sustainable’ horses who are healthy, happy, and motivated into their old ageAnd so much more!Anja has an important message to share with the world, and I hope that many riders will draw inspiration from how she rides and trains horses, knowing that dressage should be FOR the horse!

One wise person once told me that if you want to be successful with your horse, think about how you can really mess things up...
And then just do the opposite! 🙃
In Part 3 (episode 51) of the Horsemanship Fundamentals Series on The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I talk about how you can develop clear communication with your horse so you can have a willing partner!
You will learn:
👉🏼 What good communication between horse and rider looks and feels like
👉🏼 What problems can show up if you and your horse aren't communicating well
👉🏼 8 ways you could mess up the communication with your horse! (aka just do the opposite of these things and you'll do just fine!)
👉🏼 9 tips to improve your communication with your horse (which applies to groundwork and riding)
👉🏼 Plus lots of little gems within the episode including what motivates horses to learn, the CPRR acronym for very light aids, the 2 mediums in which we communicate with our horses to ask them to do things, and what to do when your horse isn't understanding your cues.

Connection…. it's such a buzzword in the horsemanship space!
But it’s hard to quantify. It’s subjective. It’s elusive…some may think it’s even a bit ‘woo woo’.
I think it’s kinda like the 'half halt' in dressage- everyone has a slightly different definition of exactly what it is, and people have trouble explaining it! But once you know, you know!
Connection is super important- an absolute fundamental of horsemanship!
So in part one of this 3-part Horsemanship Fundamentals Series, I talk all about connection including:
What connection is, what it looks & feels likeWhat problems can arise if you and your horse lack connection8 mistakes people make when trying to achieve connection10 things you can do to help improve your connection_______

Just teach them how to smile! Only joking…😅
Horses require species-specific things in order to be happy! 😁🐴
In Episode 48 of the Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I discuss all the things around how to have a happy horse, from their most basic species-specific needs to the ‘icing-on-the-cake’ things that can make your horse’s life even better (and therefore improve the way they behave/perform) 🙌🏼
I created a little infographic to go along with the episode (take a look on social media), but make sure you listen for all the details + an exciting announcement about HFA!
Enjoy!

"Liberty is something that he feels, rather than what he does” ~Nadine Lindblom
Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast: Equine Veterinary Medicine & Liberty as a Mindset with Nadine Lindblom
Nadine has worked closely with horses for the past 16 years. During this time, she has had the opportunity to learn from several fantastic trainers; however, she says the most profound lessons have been from the horses themselves!
In 2020, Nadine graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Honours). Studying and working as an equine veterinarian has helped Nadine understand horses on an even deeper level!
Nadine preaches that in order to have a horse that is willing and able to engage, connect and use expressive movement, he needs to be healthy and free from pain/discomfort and stress. Nadine believes it is important for horse owners to learn to recognize the subtle signs to be able to help their horse sooner rather than later.
Therefore, Nadines work with horses which she calls the Balanced Art of Liberty also focuses on the pillars of equine health as well as training the eye to notice the small but critical changes in equine movement, posture and behaviour.
In this episode, we discuss:
Nadine’s horse journey into liberty training and veterinary medicineHer background and experience with traditional riding, trick training, liberty training, natural horsemanship, and the academic art of ridingLiberty training where the horse feels they have no choice vs allowing the horse to say noThe use of non-escalating pressure and rewards in trainingHow studying/practising as a vet has influenced the way Nadine works with horsesNadine’s foundations for liberty trainingHow to have a happy & enthusiastic horseThe pros and cons of anthropomorphisingAll the usual fun Horsemanship Breakthroughs questions!Plus so much more!FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR NADINE HERE:
