107. Premature Foals, Lifetime Consequences: Interview with Dr Jane Clothier
<p>What if some horses are carrying the effects of birth long before they ever enter training?</p><p>In this fascinating episode of the Canter Therapy Podcast, Dr Jane Clothier shares the groundbreaking research from her PhD investigating premature and developmentally immature foals and the lifelong consequences that can follow.</p><p>Together we explore how developmental immaturity may influence skeletal development, stress physiology, learning, behaviour, arthritis, soundness, and training outcomes. Jane explains why many horses may appear normal as foals, yet develop unexplained problems years later, and what breeders, owners and trainers can do to give these horses the very best chance.</p><p>Whether you're a breeder, veterinarian, therapist, trainer or horse owner, this conversation will change the way you look at horses forever.<strong>To find out more about Dr Jane Clothier:</strong>Website: <a href="https://miraclefoal.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://miraclefoal.com</a>Website: <a href="https://thehorsesback.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://thehorsesback.com</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/equinehealthworks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.facebook.com/equinehealthworks</a>Contact: jane@equinehealthworks.com<strong>To purchase the book:</strong><strong>Managing the Miracle Foal The Essential Handbook for Owners of Premature and Dysmature Foals</strong><a href="https://miraclefoal.com/managing-the-miracle-foal-the-book-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://miraclefoal.com/managing-the-miracle-foal-the-book-2/</a><strong>To find out more about Canter Therapy Podcast and the hosts:</strong> Dr Shelley Appleton and Kathryn Christieson and support the show, visit the website:<a href="https://www.cantertherapy.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.cantertherapy.com.au</a></p>

106. Interview with Josh Nichol Relational Horsemanship
<p>In this thought-provoking conversation, we sit down with renowned horseman Josh Nichol to explore the ideas that have shaped his approach to horses, people, and life.</p><p>Josh shares his journey from growing up with horses in remote Canada to studying under Harry Whitney and developing his own framework for understanding horse behaviour through mind, space, and pressure.</p><p>We discuss the difference between lightness and softness, why behaviour is often the symptom rather than the problem, how tension affects movement and soundness, and why true horsemanship begins with understanding what the horse is experiencing rather than simply trying to control what the horse is doing.</p><p>This episode also explores leadership, liberty, personal growth, biomechanics, emotional regulation, and the responsibility we have as humans to create clarity, confidence, and understanding for our horses.</p><p>Whether you are interested in groundwork, ridden performance, horse behaviour, or simply becoming a better horseperson, this conversation is packed with insights that will challenge and inspire you.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>To find out more about Josh Nichol Relational Horsemanship:</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://joshnichol.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">joshnichol.com</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AHorsemansPursuit" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">AHorsemansPursuit</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicholhorsemanship" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@nicholhorsemanship</a></p><p>Contact: <a href="mailto:info@joshnichol.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">info@joshnichol.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>To find out more about <strong>Canter Therapy Podcast</strong> and the hosts - Dr Shelley Appleton and Kathryn Christieson and support the show, visit the website:</p><p><a href="https://www.cantertherapy.com.au">https://www.cantertherapy.com.au</a></p>
