This Podcast hopes to capture the essence of soft training with horses through positive reinforcement. It focuses on our development together as a team, whilst sharing anecdotal as well as evidence-based information to help you start or continue your (equine) journey. This Podcast is accompanied by a matching instagram page (@chroniclesoffinn) where I share additional information on the subjects discussed in addition to photos/videos. It also adds a more interactive element, so you can let me know what you’d like to see/hear more of.
Enjoy!
