Horse dissection and the effects of their work on their body with Becks Nairn
Join us on todays episode as we discuss Becks career and how it has led her to what she does today with her dissection work. Over the course of these podcasts Becks shares how her riding difficult horses started out as behavioural training as it does for most of us. Within time Becks curiousity about the underlying pathology grew and she started to apply her knowledge as a taxidermist to the dissection of euthanised horses. Marrying the discoveries Becks found in the horses bodies to their stories Becks now advocates for how we can work with horses more sustainably.Check out Becks work over on her facebook page: Becks Nairn (classical dressage NZ)Her patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Becks_nairnAnd her website: https://www.becksnairn.com/

What is connection training?
Join us in this episode as we dig into how we teach connection within our riding school. The soft skills are just as important as the practical and mechanical skills. Establishing congruence in training and a yes together requires understanding of what a no, not ready and not yet look like. It requires skills outside of escalation of pressure and power over when negotiating participation in an activity. If you're ready to start your journey as a holistic equestrian, check out our free webinar, "say yes to a happy, willing horse".
#FDNHPodcast is an in depth discussion with equestrian trainers and professionals dedicated to making horse training happen for the horse not to the horse. We discuss how to reduce harm in our horses training environment and how to support our horses mental, emotional and physical well being so that we have horses that enjoy learning and ask to be ridden.
Each episode we discuss the different influences equestrians can have and how we can improve our horses overall athleticism, soundness of mind and body and emotional fortitude whilst strengthening and deepening our relationship.
