Changing Lives With A Horse, (Of Course)!

Episode 87: Am I dumb? Do I know anything?

There is something liberating about feeling, not so bright if you will. When we realize that we know nothing, even though we know a lot, it opens us up to be able to be humble and spend every day learning a little bit more. 

Episode 86: What is making you procrastinate?

Sometimes it is easier to just do it later. But when later becomes never, then we have a problem!
What makes us procrastinate?
Unanswered questions?
Unclear expectations?
Fear if it will work out?
Not understanding what it will take to make it real?
People procrastinate getting started - Thinking they need everything before they begin when all they need is a certification to help them know what to do. If we get stuck in the land of procrastination, then we get no further than where we were yesterday.
Join us to talk about how we can move forward into our dreams and not get stuck in the wasteland that is procrastination.

Episode 122: The Equine Connection Story

Why are we different? How did Equine Connection get to where they are today? 
It truly is a story of guts and loss, passion and perseverance. Kari trained in 2008 at a company that is no longer in existence when there was a six-person partnership, including the program designer and the certification school (Kari still works with the designer to this day). Kari was the only instructor in the world certifying in the BuildingBlock™ course for one year, as the original organization had dissolved their business. 
Equine Connection had a hard go to start out. Three years of feeling frustrated and like they weren’t moving forward. But through all of this, they designed a course that will help people to avoid the trials and tribulations they went through, to get them on a fast track to success. 
Connection through are stories help us humans to feel inspired to move forward in this short little life. If you’ve wondered who these crazy (yet loveable) women are that are Equine Connection, here is their story. Take a listen.

Episode 78: GUEST SPEAKER! The amazing Leah Dyck!

Knowledge helps us to understand not only our horses but ourselves too!
You’ve heard of it before.
Chakras, energy, fascia, vibration… but what does it all mean? How do all of these pieces work together, and how does this impact our horses?
We can't blame you if you've never given your fascia a second (or first) thought. But fascia is what makes us who we are. Connective tissue is simply everything that binds and connects. But how does that connect with science, chakras, vibrations and horses?
They are all connected!
But how? Leah Dyck of Equus Empowered has a passion for both human and equine wellness. She is co-owner of Stone Clad Farms, a Master level Reiki practitioner, a Certified Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator, and Teacher of Equus Empowered and Horse Culture & Energy programs as well as associated workshop and session offerings.
Leah collaborates with both humans and horses in a method of connection, understanding, and exchange. Join us to gain loads of knowledge that you can apply to not only your horses, but your life!

Episode 70: Are you a liability? 🤔

 
You’re a liability to your business if you don’t understand both the horse language and welfare, as well as how to successfully run your business.
In fact, you are a liability to the equine industry.
It sounds like a harsh standpoint, but it is up to all of us as horse people to ensure that we are doing the best by them and taking their welfare, communication and overall nature into account in everything we do.
Equine Connection is going to be rolling out a new course. Not a certification, but to get to know the culture and language of your horses on a completely different level. If you are already an EAL, EAPD, or other Equine Assisted Practitioner, then this is for all of you too.
Join us to find out more about what this is all about, some of the knowledge you will learn and how you can move forward and continue to grow as a horse person!

It is not just about humans!  There are so many pictures out there that are used for marketing that show happy, smiley people, but the horses... don't look quite as happy.
