    Ep 30 - Backing Young Horses: Chaos, Confidence & First Rides | Equine'n'Wine Podcast

    Backing young horses sounds magical in theory… until you’re sitting on a baby horse who suddenly discovers birds, shadows, or the terrifying existence of a mounting block. In this week’s episode of Equine’n’Wine, we dive into the wonderfully unpredictable world of starting and training young horses — blending practical advice from Lorna with plenty of funny, slightly traumatic, and very relatable stories from our own experiences over the years. 💬 We chat about:• Preparing youngsters before anyone even gets in the saddle• Why groundwork and confidence matter more than rushing the process• First rides, first canters… and first moments of panic• Common mistakes riders make with young horses• Why patience is absolutely everything when producing babies And yes… Emma-Jane also shares the unforgettable childhood story of somehow managing to teach a young horse to lie down on command — which, unsurprisingly, seemed like an excellent idea at the time and significantly less excellent afterwards. 📩 Featuring a listener question from Sophie in Wiltshire about staying confident when young horses feel completely different every single day. As always, it’s a mix of learning, laughter, horse chaos, and the reminder that nobody’s young horse journey is ever as polished as it looks online. 💡 Lorna’s Golden Nugget:“Consistency, consistency, consistency!” So pour a glass, settle in, and join us for an episode full of baby horse stories, training insights, and the reality of producing young horses without losing your sanity. 📩 Got a horsey dilemma or funny story?

    Every yard has them… the unofficial mascots, the tiny supervisors, the escape artists, and the animals who somehow become just as much a part of yard life as the horses themselves. In this week’s light-hearted episode of Equine’n’Wine, we’re celebrating the wonderful chaos of yard buddies — from loyal yard dogs and opinionated cats to mischievous goats, donkeys with attitude, and every unexpected character in between. 💬 We chat about:• The classic “head groom” yard dog who oversees everything• Hiding cats as children!• Donkeys with strong personalities (and criminal tendencies)• Goats who genuinely believe they are horses• Why these animals become such an important part of yard life Featuring hilarious listener stories including:• A donkey called Kevin who stole an entire sandwich• A yard dog who wandered into the collecting ring and began managing traffic during a clear round As always, it’s a mix of horse chat, laughs, and the kinds of stories every horse person instantly understands. 💡Lorna’s Golden Nugget:“Castrate your male goats!!” So pour a glass, settle in, and prepare to feel very grateful for the weird and wonderful creatures that make stable life unforgettable. 📩 Got a funny yard story or horsey dilemma?

    Ep. 27 - Jumping Made Simple: Lines, Strides & Confidence Over Fences | Equine'n'Wine

    Seeing a Stride (or Not!) | Real Talk on Jumping & Rider ConfidenceIf you’ve ever found yourself staring at a jump thinking “is this a stride… or is it not?” — this episode is for you. This week on Equine’n’Wine, we’re diving into the realities of jumping, breaking down some of the most common (and most confusing!) concepts riders hear all the time — from riding a line and finding your position, to chipping in and chasing that elusive “perfect stride.” 💬 We chat about:• What it actually means to ride a line• Finding a secure and effective jumping position• The truth about seeing a stride (and why it takes time)• What happens when you chip in — and why it’s not the end of the world📩 Featuring a listener question from Megan in Bristol, who’s struggling with confidence and overthinking distances after returning to jumping. As always, we keep it honest — because most riders aren’t seeing perfect strides every time… and guess what? That’s completely normal. Whether you’re just starting out over poles or building back confidence, this episode is a reminder that jumping isn’t about getting it perfect — it’s about finding your rhythm and trusting your horse. 📩 Got a question or riding dilemma?

    Ep. 25 - Horse Book Recommendations | Equine'n'Wine Podcast

    This episode was inspired by a thoughtful email from Stephanie in France, which got us reflecting on the horse books that shaped us — from childhood pony stories to the training manuals that still influence how we ride today. We take a nostalgic trip back to the “pony book era”, chatting about classics like Black Beauty, Pony Club manuals, and those unforgettable illustrated guides that made us fall completely in love with horses (and gave us a few unrealistic expectations along the way!). From there, we move into the books that truly shaped our horsemanship, including BHS manuals, Horse Master’s Notebook, and the work of Mark Rashid — exploring how different philosophies, training systems, and teaching styles can both guide and confuse riders. ✨ Books we mention in this episode include:Pony Era: Black Beauty by Anna Sewell.The Manual of Horsemanship - Pony Club Manual.The Threshold Picture Guides by Tony Weber, illustrated by Carol Vinsor. Educational: BHS Manuals. Official handbook - Complete manual of horse and stable management. Horse Masters Notebook by Mary Rose. Mark Rashid Books - Free on Audible. Horses Never Lie, Considering the Horse, A Good Horse Is Never a Bad Colour etc. Thinking Riding by Molly Sivwright. Celebrity Jumping Exercises by various authors. 101 Showjumping Exercises and The Dressage Exercises from same series by Linda L.Allen. Training the Young Horse by Pippa Funnell. Other Recommendations: The Connemara Journey by Hillary Brandt. Feeding Herbs to Horses by Wendy & Terry Jennings. Essential Oils for Horses by Carol Faith. All Creatures Great and Small by James HerriotPlus, a few extra recommendations for anyone looking to expand their horsey bookshelf. Whether you’re rediscovering riding or deep in your horsey journey, this episode is a reminder that there's really nothing quite like a good book. 📩 Got a favourite horse book we should read?

    Ep 24 - Allergic to the love of your life! Dealing with Allergies. Equine'n'Wine

    Spring has arrived… and so has the snowstorm of horse hair. In this episode, we’re talking about something many riders don’t admit to, being allergic to the very animals we adore. From sneezing through the big shed to managing hay dust, pollen, and stable mould, Emma-Jane shares what it’s like being allergic to horses since birth… and still choosing this life anyway.... Lorna shares how painful it was to have a little sister that did make that choice!! But it’s not just humans. We also dive into allergies in horses, including sweet itch, dust sensitivity, feed reactions, and contact allergies — what to look for, when to call the vet, and how to manage flare-ups without chasing every trend on the yard. 💌 Featuring a listener question from Hannah in Norfolk about managing a cob with suspected sweet itch — and whether natural remedies actually help. 🌿 Emma-Jane also shares the soothing shampoo and herbal spray recipes she created for Daisy during midge season. As always, we explore the balance between holistic support and proper veterinary care — because “natural” doesn’t automatically mean safe. If you’re sneezing through the shed season or battling itchy tails and raw manes, this one’s for you. 📩 Got a horsey dilemma?
