    Ep. 21 - "Heels Down!" (And Other Things We Were Yelled at in Lessons!) | Equine'n'Wine

    Let’s be honest — some things never leave us. Like the sound of an instructor bellowing “HEELS DOWN!” across the arena when we were just trying to stay on. 😅 In this nostalgic-meets-hilarious episode, we’re reliving all the classic riding lesson commands that haunted our childhoods — from spaghetti rein syndrome to questionable posture metaphors. 🐴 Plus, Emma-Jane (fresh off an ‘Intro to Western Riding Day’ at Bullhorn Ranch, Co. Kildare) can’t stop dropping Western references… much to Lorna’s absolute horror/delight. 💬 Listener memory (ok, fine — a tweaked version of something E-J heard this week):A friend once said, “My instructor used to shout ‘Keep the fiver under your arse in canter!’ — I didn’t know what she meant, but I clenched for dear life!” Also featuring:• Lorna’s breakdown of which old-school instructions actually work• Why modern riders deserve more explanation and less yelling• And a tonne of old school Golden Nuggets that might change the way you teach (or ride) 🫶 Join us for the chaos, the canter clenching, and the clarity. 📩 Got a memory or question?

    Ep. 20 - Dealing with the Death of Your Horse - The Tough One | Equine'n'Wine

In this episode, we talk openly and honestly about grief, loss, and the heartbreak of saying goodbye to a beloved horse. Whether it’s a faithful old companion or a young horse taken too soon, the grief is real — and often misunderstood. 💬 We cover:• How to know when “the right time” really is• The difference between losing a young vs. older horse• Letting the herd say goodbye• Rituals that help with grieving• What to do with the “what ifs” that haunt you after Plus, a heartfelt listener email from Rachel in West Sussex, and Lorna’s gentle Golden Nugget to carry with you. If you’re facing this right now — or carrying an old loss — we hope this episode brings comfort, solidarity, and space to grieve. 📩 Want to share your own story?

    In this warm and reflective episode, Emma-Jane and Lorna dive into five powerful lessons horses live by — the ones we humans tend to forget in the rush, pressure, and chaos of everyday life.

Or is it just survival until March?”Featuring:• The mud that has unionised• Crying waterproofs• A mare who becomes a kite• EJ & Lorna’s tips for finding small moments of joy when everything is freezing, flapping, or foggy “Winter riding I can handle… winter people?

    Winter riding… we love it, we hate it, and sometimes we simply endure it.
