No Ordinary Horse

Tracey Duncan is well known in the UK as an 'alternative' equestrian coach where connection is a fundamental part of her approach. Here she talks of her journey with horses and how they led her to find a different path in her own training and the training she offers to others.

As Gareth Mare's post brought Cindy & I together, and knowing that Steve has chatted with Gareth online, we decided to see how a conversation would unfold when pioneers are brought together.

Being deeply intuitive, connected to the animals and to the land, Kate is able to see a deeper meaning in things we might consider ordinary. Here, Kate tells of the influence that horses have had on her life, and shares insights from looking at life with a different perspective.

When I see posts on Facebook, I often look through the comments, so when Cindy Jarrett responded to a post by Gareth Mare, what she wrote resonated & so I messaged to ask if she would like to connect & perhaps record a conversation. Little did I know the depth of Cindy's experience, having created her own distinctive expression in the facilitated equine education arena by weaving in her variety of professional endeavours: relationship consulting; practical metaphysical training and development; shamanic healing; animal communication; E.F.T.; holistic health; writing and artistic expression into a unique emotional learning and development experience. Along with her husband, Thomas, they are also developing their own course called Facilitated Equine Emotional Learning (F.E.E.L.™) at their soon to be created teaching facility, HorseJourneys(TM); Center for Conscious Evolution. An inspiring story of how ordinary is actually extraordinary! Find Cindy at www.horsejourneys.com

An enlightening chat with Ross, sharing his story and delving into the deep end at the leading edge of our thoughts (well mine at least) about horses, humans, natural horsemanship and connection.

We met Steve last year when we audited Nahshon's first UK clinic and we chatted about the experience in Episode 4. When Nahshon returned for a second clinic this year, Steve took a lesson spot and so this time we talk about how he felt taking part in the clinic with his beautiful mare Pippi.

We were absolutely delighted when Nahshon came back to the UK to visit the mighty Munchkin and offer another weekend clinic. Once we'd recovered, Liz & I chatted about the impact the event had on us and how we can use what we witnessed with our own horses.

France is an equine osteopath and so much more! When she comes to treat Captain we always have fascinating conversations so it was wonderful when we had the opportunity for a chat over a cup of tea. Join us in horse time for a varied conversation taking us from Horse Speak and studying at the Vluggen institute for Equine Osteopathy and Education to the similarities between parenting and horsemanship.

The start of 2024 has given me a lot to think about but in the last few days some pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place. Some came unexpectedly during a groundwork lesson with Tracey Duncan, Taking Care of Training and the catalyst was a video created by my daughter as part of her film degree (in the link), I trace my thought process to understanding here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmkcqpVDfbM https://www.traceyduncan.co.uk

I met Sarah at the UK Horsemanship Showcase and she graciously agreed to record her story. From first pony to first horse, finding & getting to know Warwick Schiller & his work over 10 years ago, finding your tribe and how listening to your horse can be enlightening.

Sharing the start of my story with horses & the inspiration behind No Ordinary Horse.

What does opera singing have to do with horses? Rachel tells her story of connecting the dots and how vocal training has helped with her horsemanship.

Cathy also attended Nahshon's UK clinic & we had a really interesting chat starting with the importance of trust and safety both with our horse and human friends. Introducing horses into her life after having a family, Cathy certified as a Masterson Method Practitioner & Mentor as well as providing opportunities for people to interact with her own little herd at www.heart-to-hand.co.uk.

Steve was also at Nahshon’s UK clinic & bravely accepted my invitation to record a conversation! We chatted about the clinic, our personal journeys with horses and what we’ve learnt so far along the way.

Liz & I starting to process the paradigm shift we experienced at UK clinic with Nahshon Cook Horsemanship organised beautifully by Areion Academy.

A conversation with Liz exploring our observations on judgement, clarity, intention & confidence - among other things!

Chatting with Megan. The conversation found it’s way to include thoughts on leadership, both in horses and humans which helped us clarify what we appreciate in a good leader.
