S4 E7: Poles, Piaffe & Prosecco - How we learn with Mia Rodley and Georgie Woods
Natural horsemanship and bridleless riding has enjoyed a huge boom in recent years, and today we are chatting with Mia Rodley and Georgie Woods on how you get started, how you teach your horse to go bridleless and the benefits it brings. It’s a whole different way of educating both yourself and your horse, and we hope you enjoy our conversation.
Katie gives you honest feedback on this week’s tack room tipple, and Tania talks muscle, tilts and disengagement.

Tania talks motor biking, newly backed horses and busy warm ups and Katie makes sure her hot seat is comfortable with a tack room tipple.

S4 E5: Poles, Piaffe & Prosecco - How We Learn with Alice Oppenheimer
It’s a new month on the pod, and another really interesting theme that we are investigating. We are spending all of October finding out how we learn and how our horses learn. It’s a huge and fascinating subject, and we hope you’ll enjoy the journey with us.
In today’s pod, we are chatting with Alice Oppenheimer about her TRT-inspired method of training horses. How does it work, what are the benefits and how has it changed her approach to her horses? We loved chatting with Alice, and there were lots of ‘Huh’ moments.
Tania talks about learning dressage test, cantering in a two-point position and improving medium canter, while Katie takes one for the team with this week’s tack room tipple.
