Episode 81 // Meeting Your Horse's Needs at a Boarding Facility Part Two
For many equestrians, owning a horse means keeping them at a boarding facility. Boarding facilities allow owners to meet their horse's needs without having to own the land to do so. And while this opportunity is a fantastic arrangement for many, it can sometimes create challenge when it comes to training and keeping our horses in a way that isn't considered traditional. In part two of this series, I share some practical strategies on how you can meet your horse's needs at a boarding facility, and how you can continue training with R+ while setting your horse up for successful handling by the boarding facilities staff.

Episode 79 // What's Holding You Back from Trying R+? Part 3
In this week's episode, we dive back into the series, "What's holding you back from trying R+?" I posed this question to my social media followers several months ago and can't wait to dive into the answers with you! There are many legitimate concerns and doubts when it comes to switching over to using positive reinforcement to train your horses. In this series, I'll offer my suggestions and perspective on how you can overcome your doubts and try a new way of training with your horse! In today's episode, I discuss:
- The R+ community being divisive and exclusive
- Perceived lack of choice (the horse just being in it for the 'cookie')
- Lack of representation outside of groundwork (not many R+ trainers ride/show)
And more!
