- I have learned so much about pressure and control, but if you get a real connection you can just ask the horse and wait and it will happen, says Jasmin Schacht. We met for the first time about 20 years ago and I have n
It's crucial to bring this perspective with us: we must remain humble and remember that horses expressing pain, discomfort, or uncertainty should always be taken seriously. Just because we don't always understand what tr
Photographer and fine artist Crispin Parelius Johannessen has been called "a man on a mission," and he certainly is. A man with a self-imposed mission to remind us that we cannot trust our own eyes to be reliable enough
- Often, when our strategy is to increase pressure, taking a step back—allowing the horse to breathe and process—is a far better way to move forward. Synchrony is what horses want, and what they're always looking for. As

This week’s podcast guest is fine artist and photographer Crispin Parelius Johannessen, who has spent more than 15 years photographing horses in equestrian sports. I hope you view this episode as an invitation to questio

- I really call this disruptive technology because from this point on there is no excuse anymore not to measure lameness objectively. It's practical, it's scientifically proven and it's validated, says doctor in veterina
- We need to start with the assumption that animals aren’t looking for conflict. They don’t want conflict any more than we do. But animals will become aggressive if they become frightened. So the number one point is neve
- Good ridning means that you stop disturbing the horse, and that is one thing I find it important to tell everybody; get out of the way, cause you are the problem, says Arne Koets, who during his five years as a rider a

- We have a running joke in the US about how California and Texas got into a fight about horsemanship and Texas won, says trainer Jeff Sanders.
- Offering our horses scentwork and exploration exercises not only reduces stress and make them more confident. It can also be a brilliant tool when horses struggle with what we often refer to as behaviour problems, says
