Equilogical Podcast

Welcome back! It's been a while :) In this episode Becky chats to the fabulous Sarah Johnson one of Little Green Stables valued Patreons about horse agility. Sarah lives in Switzerland with Kenda her horse who is of a similar age to Becky's Rum. Becky has just started training agility with Rum and all this training and more can be found over on the Patreon site. Sarah and Becky discuss the obstacles, how beneficial they can be for both humans and horses and how agility training can really suit R+ and clicker trainers. This is just Part 1 and Sarah and Becky wanted it to be an informal chat from lay trainers about how they find adding in Agility for their equines. For Part 2 Becky and Sarah are joined by Kate Blackmore from Equilogical and Equischolars and Trudi Dempsey: Equine Trainer and Behaviour Consultant to help break down the obstacles, chain them, train them, adding stimulus and all the details that we know we need them for.

This week Kate & Becky talk to Ella Bartlett from Bristol University about her recent study into horse training. Ella is currently studying for a PhD at the University of Bristol, where the aim of her project is to better understand how horse owners decide which approach to take when training their horses.  The hope is that this knowledge will mean we’re in a better position to promote the wider use of evidence-based training methods in the future.  You may have seen the study on social media, the study has now closed & Ella is collecting data with a fantastic response from all around the world. Ella discusses some of the findings & gives us a few teasers (the full data is still being collected). You can contact her for the details of the study: ella.bartlett@bristol.ac.uk & we are keen to have Ella as a guest on the podcast again. Alongside studying, Ella works as a part-time lecturer on an Animal Behaviour & Welfare degree delivered by Kingston University, teaching mainly welfare & research.  Outside of work/ studying Ella has four horses, including formally feral Welsh pony Bob, who’s slowly learning about life around humans. We talk about Bob & his curiosity & how we can help Ella progress with some ideas & some support from our fantastic team on our Patreon Site.  Ella is a valued Patreon member so will receive the benefits of having feedback from both Kate & Trudi during our Dempsey Sessions as well as learning from all our training content.   If you are enjoying our podcast, please share, like & subscribe.

A different take on todays podcast! After publishing the "decide to dismount" short video on her fb page, Becky received a huge amount of comments both positive and negative. We decided that it was important to answer some of the many questions that arose and address some of the more negative comments. It can be so easy to comment on people's videos but are we being helpful? Are there better ways to express our feelings online? Trudi clarifies the fundamentals of the training; Did we use reinforcers? Is it actually negative reinforcement on the mat? How was the mat trained? Is the rate or reinforcement too low? A lot of commenters believe that, if given the choice, their horse would choose not to do the work. The three of us talk about this a little more in depth, is that actually the case? Was it the case for Reg? Is there a compromise when we have to exercise our horses for weight management? Lots and lots of great discussion, you don't want to miss out on this one! If you are enjoying our podcast please share, like 👍🏻 and subscribe. You can find Kate, Becky and Trudi on social media.

For the first time in a while it is just Kate and Becky! It's been a long time since we have caught up properly as we've been busy bees!  We review our guests so far this year who have all been so fabulous! Becky talks about her recent holiday and the challenges we face when leaving our animals in the care of others and what happens when something goes wrong. Becky lets us know about the books she has caught up on and some interesting discussions on octupae/octopusses? It's a very light hearted conversation this week with the predicted tangents of course...

In today's podcast we are joined by the ever wonderful Trudi Demspey, Equine Behaviour and Training Consultant. We had decided to talk about planning, which we do at points throughout but there were a few tangents that we just had to discuss, staying motivated in our training, considering emotions during training, what to do if you are finding it difficult to get into your training sessions and so on. An open and honest conversation with lots of laughter. Enjoy!

In this weeks podcast we discuss kids around animals! Are kids really safe? Is PPE enough? What's missing in the current mainstream equine education and ways in which we can better promote safety around horses for everyone! We touch on other species and the work being some to protect both animal and human and how in being animal owners we have a duty to represent them in a fair and unbiased way.

In this weeks episode we chat to Irene Perrett MA, Cert Ed., BHS IV SM from Drayford Equine Learning and Fun or DELF for short. Irene tells us about her latest distinction grade MA at Exeter University on  We discuss the human animal relationships around the world and how different cultures view and how animals fit into their society. Animals have different jobs all over the world and when it comes to equines there are some stark contrasts in how we view this in the Western world and how having a more holistic view which looks into the balance of all things living including nature could mark big steps into the emotions and welfare of the animals in our lives. We go on to talk about the importance of focussing on the relationship we have with individual animals rather than the goals is key into creating trust.  We were joined by a group of ducks who had a lot to say on that matter so you may want to join in on that chorus! :-) If you are enjoying our podcast please subscribe, like & share You can find Kate & Becky on social media: Equilogical Positive Equine Partnerships & Little Green Stables For our training content & so much more, join us on Patreon/littlegreenstables
