In this episode of the Whole Horse Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jane Pike of The Confident Rider. From the moment we started, we were laughing so much that my face hurt! We dove into valuable topics such as how to work with—not against—our emotions when it comes to our horses, practical steps to regulate our nervous systems, and strategies to build resilience. Jane also shared insights on how to embrace healthy activation and discomfort, and how to navigate moments of frustration with grace and growth, ultimately helping us find stronger footing in our horse journey. This episode is a must-listen for any equestrian looking to enhance their connection with horses and expand their toolkit for personal and emotional growth.
