Whole Horse | The training of "magical unicorns" with Heather Nelson

The Whole Horse Podcast with Alexa Linton

One of my favourite podcast guests is back, because we all can use a little humour right about now. Liberty trainer Heather Nelson joined me on a Saturday evening to chat and chuckle about the training of her "magical unicorns" aka her three horse herd, while she is spending a whole lot of time at home during the Covid-19 event. We got into some excellent detail about the unicorn creation process, mainly diving into working at liberty in different positions (including long-lining) and in different ways with each of her horses, and I was riveted and inspired. I hope you will be too! I also found myself geeking out on the relationship between TCM element theory and constitutions and horses, such an interesting way of understanding our horses. Enjoy and keep well during these wild times!
