13. A Conversation With Lockie Phillips On All Things Emotional Horsemanship + Barefoot Trimming

In this episode, I chat with Lockie Phillips from Emotional Horsemanship. Lockie shares his views on working with horses through the lens of exploring emotions and shares stories about his journey so far. We cover a lot of ground including: The parallels between his career as a professional dancer and the life of many horses What Emotional Horsemanship is and his ethos behind his brand The importance of developing emotional awareness and emotional intelligence for those wanting to seek a deeper connection with their horses How it is important to stay open-minded and also not shame anyone or yourself for the journey you have been or are currently on The training differences between his own horses vs preparing horses for a trail riding business How the mare and foal bond can give you valuable lessons you can apply with your own horse to help them overcome any trauma How he learnt about barefoot trimming and the work he does in that field now + much more!
