    Year of the Fire Horse (with Kat HoSoo Lee)

    Send a text In this special episode of Horse First, Lockie Phillips is joined by Kat HoSoo Lee for a conversation on the Year of the Fire Horse. Together, they explore what it means to move through a season of intensity, transformation, and truth-telling, both in ourselves and in horse culture. This is an episode about heat and clarity, about the parts of horsemanship that can no longer be performed or avoided, and the kind of courage it takes to stay present when old patterns burn away. A reflective and grounding dialogue on change, accountability, and the deeper listening that becomes possible when we let the fire refine rather than destroy. Kat is an emotional alchemist, nature nerd, Daoist, aspiring homesteader, and writer living in eastern Washington with her husband and their menagerie.

    Noticing Normal

    Send us a text Noticing Normal is an episode about the quiet ways harm can hide inside routine, especially in horse culture, where “this is just how it’s done” can slowly replace curiosity. Lockie Phillips explores how familiarity dulls perception, how the horse world teaches us what not to see, and the subtle signs horses offer long before anything breaks down. This isn’t a conversation about blame, it’s an invitation to wake back up, to question what’s become ordinary, and to remember that real care begins with noticing. Come and learn with Lockie in the EH SCHOOL, a low-cost, high value, flexible community where a video library, discussion forum (off social media) and live coaching calls with Lockie help you get to the heart of the matter with your horsemanship. https://emotionalhorsemanship.com/eh-school-sign-up Come and learn with Lockie inside the EH School.

    Feels Like Sharing Your Stories

    Send us a text The first step to permanent change for the better, is acceptance of the truth of what we currently have.  And the truth is, the horse industry has a BIG problem with big violence, at every level, in many forms, in many disciplines and every country.  Nobodies hands are clean.  The time has come to get off the fence, and make real steps forward.  I am building a community for people who denounce stories like this and are fully ready to move forwards.  It is accessible, I take an active role there, so does my team.  Consider joining us to find some solutions and solace in community of people that want a higher standard for horses.  https://emotionalhorsemanship.com/the-eh-school For more information check out www.emotionalhorsemanship.com!
