Summary

Damian Hallam, one of the top five dressage coaches in the UK, joins me in this episode to discuss some of his perspectives on having an ethical, energetic bond with horses whilst working in the competitive field of horsemanship. Damian shares openly about his feelings of searching for balance between heart and horse, moving away from the old conditioned terminologies, and the importance of finding softness through the body when riding and teaching.Damian is the first person we have had on the podcast so far who is in the centre of the ridden Equine world. It was an honour to sit down and receive his open hearted insights on how he is choosing to do what he can to connect, be present, observe horses as the sentient beings they are in as loving a way as possible. In my opinion, his intentions are needed and offer a great support to the horses who are being ridden still. Connect with Damian Hallam:Instagram: @damian.hallamEmail: [email protected]
