Time to switch it up!

In between our new rhythm of free bi-weekly guest interviews that EVERYONE is encouraged to attend, there will be something special for paid subscribers.

What was that about attending interviews???

Yes! YOU CAN ATTEND the recordings of my podcast conversations via Zoom, and listen-in to these interviews LIVE, then stay for a Q&A session at the end!

What can Paid Subscribers expect?

In between these free events, Paid Subscribers will have access to those aforementioned impromptu journal readings, as I struggle and strive to learn new skills.

You will follow along on my own evolution, as I recover a traumatized nervous system AND a body made decrepit with age, chemo, radiation and poor living, and attempt to elevate my own Horsecraft to a place I haven’t been before, while exploring liberty training and new ways to train horses.

In Season 3, we continue we explore these themes and develop the tools we ALL need, to make magic with our horses … and our LIVES, incidentally! These are the things that will bring your Horsecraft from the mechanical and mundane … to the mystical!

This is a series for horse lovers who are dealing with the uncertainties and decrepitudes that come with age, infirmity, and previous trauma/conditioning, that make accessing ‘the magic’ challenging.

Our plans …

We’ll talk to:

1.      experts in trauma, boundaries

2.     body workers/energetics/structural integrationists/rolfers  

3.     saddlery and equipment experts - how saddlery and sport have evolved and how the right equipment/props can help

4.     rider’s who have had to adapt after catastrophic accidents

Where do we start?

Join me for my 1st bi-weekly interview of 2024 on Jan 16th at 7 PM - with Carmen Theobald; The ‘Queen of Boundaries’

(link to event: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAsfuqppj8vHtEXN3u2jGvpZ28RFLVOUpGt)

I am starting this season off, once again, with a conversation with Carmen Theobald. This time, it’s ALL ABOUT BOUNDARIES!

We will examine the importance of setting mutually respectful boundaries with 1200 flight animals. This episode will cover the complexities of navigating safe, respectful boundaries under the paradigm of the pressure-and-release world from a trauma-informed lens.

Boundaries -

o   How trauma informs them. If you are someone who has had their boundaries transgressed, what can that show up as with horses?

o   micro-aggressios vs macro aggressions - the smallest of things that were once ignored and acceptable, under a new lens …

1.     how to re-establish healthier boundaries

2.     What does mutual respect look like? What does it FEEL like in your body?

Join me for my 2nd bi-weekly interview of 2024 on Jan 31st at 7 PM - Rolfing for Horses and Humans - Maximize YOUR Horse-Human Potential with Saxon Alexandra and Kayla Anne McGowan

(link to event: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82753918961?pwd=f86bcI3IhgGNK8NXqt0YL56SXHQdDY.1)

What the heck is Rolfing, or Structural Integration, and how can it help me and my horse?

Find out why I think it could be what YOU need to connect with your body, your horse, and your potential for magic between you, no matter what that looks like for you.

Join us for a candid podcast interview with two spectacular humans - Kayla Ann and Saxon - who work together to make the most of your horse-human potential as a team. Stay for a chance to ask your questions in a Q&A session that follows.

Find out:

~ What fascia is and why you should care

~ How past injuries and trauma stored in our bodies affect our movement patterns, and how these inhibit our potential for fluid movement, balance, flexibility and connection with ourselves AND our horses

~ Hear how Saxon's journey into structural integration changed their experience with trauma. In their own words;

"I have made it my mission this winter to spread structural integration to as many horses and humans as possible. I’d love to talk about my journey into (and out of) the academic biochemistry world, my journey through my non-binary gender in the gendered world of horses, and how horses have helped me through my mental health struggles. Thank you for all you do: your words and your shows make me feel a little less alone." Saxon Alexandra

Next Up Master Sadler, Chirstian Lowe on the evolution of the equipment alongside the world of Horsecraft and what we can do to maximize our horse’s comfort and minimize the inevitable pressure that comes from wearing a tree’d saddle.

In the world of sport, how have saddles improved for horses AND the adult amateur riders who drive the industry?

The rest will unfold with conversations with people who have had to adapt and use props … or change how they used/related to horses after catastrophic injuries.

Join me as I learn, grow, and evolve my horsecraft to the best of my ability.

Take a chance,

Paige
