Riding Instructor Interview Series, with Martin Arnold!

Here's Martin's second interview and it is again, filled with wonderful insights for the horse world, as well as great advice for instructors.

His bio:

Martin is a classical dressage trainer who began riding at the age of 14 and has now been training professionally for the better part of 20 years.

During his career, Martin has earned his USDF bronze, silver and gold medals having competed successfully through the Grand Prix. Martin has also been a previous winner of the Region 9 Teaching Excellence Award and he won the 2023 IALHA (International Andalusian and Lusitano Horse Association) Impact Award for his work with the Andalusian breed.

Martin and his wife, Jenna, run their horse training business, Concordia Dressage, out of the Austin, TX area. In addition to training horses and teaching lessons there, they also teach virtual lessons and travel to teach clinics.

Martin is also a coach for J.J. Tate's online training academy (Team Tate Academy).

Martin works with horses and riders at all levels of dressage, but he truly loves helping riders with horses that are considered non traditional breeds (for dressage) and helping riders overcome not just physical obstacles in their riding, but also the mental roadblocks that thwart so many of us as well.

You can find Martin at concordiadressage.com and on social media (Facebook)

Riding Instructor Interview Series Continues!

Enjoy this interview with Katie Boniface!

Katie Boniface, a passionate horsewoman based in Queensland, Australia. With over 30 years of riding experience and 18 years as an instructor, Katie brings a wealth of knowledge and heart to her work. After a successful run in dressage, show jumping, and eventing at the state level, she shifted her focus from competition to connection.

Through her riding school, Equestrian Spirit, Katie helps riders build deeper, more meaningful partnerships with their horses—grounded in trust, biomechanics, and mutual respect. Her mission is to guide riders in seeing their horses as equals and companions on a journey of growth and self-discovery.

Here's the free webinar mentioned: https://www.equestrianspirit.com.au/sayyes

From Katie:

"I have been a horse rider for 30 years and a riding instructor for 18 finding my passion as a teacher in a riding school environment. From childhood through to my early 20’s I competed successfully at shows, dressage, show jumping and eventing at state level. Having gotten my trophy and ribbon riding out of me when I was young riding became a spiritual practice for me, developing my connection to my self and others on a deeper level. What occurred to me is that you can't have a meaningful relationship with someone that doesn't want to be with you so I set about looking for ways to get my horse to enjoy being around me.

At the same time I was also working with a couple of horses with soundness issues. Having being told that a horse would work soundly if you work it correctly I dug into the physiology of horse movement and how we as riders and trainers can best work our horses not only for soundness but also for suppleness, maximum range of movement and dare I say to look like they actually enjoyed being ridden!!

And so triggered a profound reassessment of everything I had ever learnt to date about what it meant to be a horse rider, how I was riding and what my goal was from my training. I discovered the importance of the horses mental, emotional and physical health to not only its performance and success but also to its willingness as a participant in our partnership. And I learnt what it meant to have a true connection with the horse and an open 2 way conversation.

It is my goal and mission in life to share these values with as many horse riders as I can so we can start to see our beautiful horses as equals, partners and part of our own life's journey to better understand ourselves through better understanding others."

What a fantastic opportunity it was to hear all about Shelley Manley's vision for young horse enthusiasts. Riding instructors, please take the time to listen to this interview and consider joining this brilliant program: PAL Around Pony School

Here's Shelley's Bio:

Shelley Manley has been riding horses for close to 40 years and teaching young riders for over thirty years. She started teaching riding lessons at the age of 15 and just never stopped! She also has a B.S and M.A in Psychology, and an M.Ed. in School Counseling. She has worked as the riding director at a residential children’s home and as a riding instructor at multiple facilities. She has also worked as a School Counselor for eleven years at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. She lives in Shepherdstown, WV with her 2 kids, 5 cats, 1 great pyrenees, 1 bearded dragon, and 1 retired pony!

Ride From the Start LLC and the PAL Around Pony School program began in 2012, when Shelley had many parents of young children requesting horseback riding lessons. This often proved a challenging endeavor, as her tiniest riders would quickly grow bored when riding and were not able to sustain attention on the pony beyond a few minutes at a time. While studying to become a school counselor, Shelley was also learning how to develop a curriculum and write lesson plans. She was studying child development in depth and pondering how to create a more age-appropriate means of introducing young children to horses. She decided to use her newfound skills to create a program that combined elements of fun hands-on learning, stories, songs, games, and horseback riding.

In March of 2012, she held her first class, offering it to a group of friends and their children. Since the students were eager to continue the program, she recognized a need to continue developing the lesson plans, and the PAL Around Pony School curriculum began to take shape. It has evolved over the past thirteen years, as a result of customer feedback. The program has operated at six different locations across the Eastern panhandle and in the nearby states of Virginia and Maryland, all with consistent success. Hundreds of area children have now enjoyed PAL Around Pony School, and many of those children have continued into regular riding lessons. Other instructors have also taught the program successfully, and it is time to bring this important program to instructors across the country.

Another fantastic interview for the Riding Instructor Interview Series, with Bethany Tuskey.

She emphasizes creating thinking riders, staying away from extreme thinking in the horse world, and learning to communicate effectively with your horse.

Bethany’s love of horses began at an early age, and she has dedicated her life to learning the art of horsemanship from master horse trainers. She has studied the arts of classical dressage, liberty work, work in hand, and long reining. Bethany has taken what she has learned from other trainers as well the horses, and combined it with her spiritual beliefs to create a unique style of training based on love for the horse.

She says: "Our horse is treated as our partner and our relationship with the horses always takes priority over anything we may want to achieve with them. Through relationships built on mutual trust and understanding, we are able to train our horses without any use of force."

Bethany enjoys teaching lessons and clinics as well as performing with her Andalusians at various shows and exhibitions. It is her goal to share her unique training style and show people how they too can take their relationship with their horse to a whole new level.

Enjoy this bonus podcast interview with Actor, Stuntman, and Storyteller, Damion Poitier!

I loved how he shared the indescribable connection he has with his beloved Sammi; as well as his passion for honoring horses and all that they've done for us and continue to do. I can't wait to you to listen!

PLEASE click here for the fundraiser page and the full story.

Here's what Damion wrote:

"Hi, I'm Damion, and this is Sampson or as we call him Sammi. Sammi saved me, and I need your help to save him.

With your support we will make a documentary, not only about his treatment, but the immense effects these fascinating creatures have, and have had, upon humanity, and how we can be better custodians for them.

So how did we get here? Three years ago I was in the midst of a very challenging assignment. The beginning was creatively and financially rewarding, but as time went on the challenges began to outweigh the creative output, it started to take its toll on my mental health. My wife, a lifelong equestrian, saw this and started what can only be called a quest. Seven months of daily searches, trying to find the perfect companion for me, something large enough to carry me without difficulty but also engaging enough to form a bond... And she succeeded beyond anyone's wildest imagining.

Sammi saved me.

The things I learned about myself and the methods I developed to be a good companion for him also served me. and I was able to better navigate the demands put upon me. For two years our bond flourished and grew. Things were good and getting better. But entertainment is a fickle business and circumstances rapidly and dramatically shifted. My efforts to ride out the reduced opportunities were only successful with familial support, then things took an even worse turn.

Sammi fell ill.

Sammi was diagnosed by two different vets with PSSM1 and DSLD.

Now there are treatments available that can potentially help however they are not certain and quickly become costly.

And so I come to you. Now one thing I try to be very aware of when I reach out, is what do I offer when I ask, and this is a pretty big ask so I wanted to figure out a pretty big offer.

I have been in the entertainment business for 25 years and worked on a wide variety of projects at all levels. What that gives me is access to everyone I need to put together an amazing documentary series, not only about Sammi's recovery, But the importance and influence these majestic beings have had on humanity as a whole. In just the time since I began working on this the amount of things I have uncovered about their influence is staggering. They are so universal to human advancement, the very unit by which we measure mechanical energy is called Horsepower.

Horsepower; and we start with Saving Sampson. Thank you.

You are allowing me to honor a gift I can never repay. And to show a being of pure love how much he is appreciated.

Now this project is evolving, and the scope is very dependent on the response, so you are going to want to check the socials often to see what we are building to.

Thank you so much for joining me as we saddle up, Together we are Saving Sammi."

Continuing with the Riding Instructor Series...

Enjoy this interview with Joe Washburn, where you'll hear how he and his partner, Karen are helping riders of all levels connect to horses in harmonious ways.

Joe Washburn, owner and Trainer of JW Horsemanship & Services in Brenham, TX is a native Texan, living in and around the Houston area for most of his life. He discovered his love of horses and horsemanship about 15 years ago, at an open horse event, and has never looked back.

Joe’s program is all about helping people discover/rediscover their joy in the saddle. His team meets every rider/handler where they are, evaluates the gaps in both horse and human, and develops a plan to fix the holes and build a connection based on empathy, kindness, and respect as a two-way street. He has found a special talent in introducing horsemanship to complete beginners of all ages. He and his team of teaching horses have made riders out of more than 50 beginners in the past 18 months.

Joe is also an expert barefoot trimmer, one of the few that offers training to teach horses and donkeys to accept farrier work if they have never learned these skills

Joe and his spouse share a small ranch in Brenham, TX, where Joe runs his Horsemanship School as well as a Board & Train program that accepts a select few horses in for board & training several times a year.

Our Riding Instructor Interview Series continues with the inspiring Cailin Messer.

This was a wonderful interview, filled with beautiful insights for instructors and all students of the horse.

Kindly click here to visit Cailin's website to learn more and... here's Cailin's Story:

3rd Generation Horsewoman with a modern twist

Cailin Messer grew up horseback in Glen Carbon, Illinois where she and her family own and operate Glen Oaks Equestrian Center. Inspired by her experiences helping horses and people from a young age, Cailin graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Psychological and Brain Sciences from Washington University in St. Louis. This education sparked Cailin’s desire to pursue horsemanship practices that consider the mental and emotional aspect of the human-horse relationship.

With an ever expanding interest in the horse industry, Cailin spent much time exploring and practicing her craft in the show arena, thoroughbred racing, colt starting, teaching, and veterinary medicine. Along the way she found a real passion for riding horses in a way that aligns with her own personal values, talents, and abilities and an even greater passion for empowering others to do the same. She offers this mindset and encouragement through her current business of educating horses and motivating their human counterparts.

This was a fantastic interview with Ingrid. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! -Beth

Ingrid Henry of Harmonious Equestrian Connection is an Equine Partnership Coach, helping horses and their humans connect and form trusting, loving relationships.

From Ingrid:

"I am a seeker of the beauty of harmony between two beings. I am a lifelong student, seeking wisdom and connection through open and authentic communication, cultivating a listening heart and mind.

Horses are majestic, intuitive, powerful beings. They mirror those around them and, through this, have so much to teach us about life, love, and ourselves in relation to it all.

All of my life I have been drawn to horses and to connection with animals. With a background in Psychology, I seek to understand people, in all of our complexity and our brokenness. I yearn for healing for us all, horses and humans alike.

That journey has opened my eyes to a new level of self-awareness and the power of intuition and energy. As prey and herd animals, horses are keenly aware of the energy, intentions, and emotions of those around them. In order to be the people they need us to be so that they can be safe with us, we are challenged to learn and grow, to heal. As their caretakers, we must learn to listen to their needs, and not just their physical ones but their mental and emotional needs as well. Once we open our eyes and our hearts, we can find attunement and true connection."

An interview with Dr Penny Hawken of Alternate Touch Equine and Canine Supplements.

Dr Penny Hawken is a scientist with a vision to combine the world of science with natural therapies to help our horses and dogs to live their best life. After loving animals for as long as she can remember, her life path initially took her towards vet science, but the universe had other plans and she directed her love of science towards agriculture, which in turn led her to a PhD in animal science and a dream job in research and teaching in Australia.

During her PhD she reconnected with her childhood love of horses, and finding a horse to ride came only second to finding a house After 16 years living in Australia, her life path has taken many twists and turns, but it was meeting her heart horse Midnight back in 2007 that led her on a journey to start her own business and trust her conviction, abilities, intuition and unique understanding to create nutritional supplements that literally change lives

Ever wonder what Animal Communicators wish you would know? Jana Wagner is incredibly kind and talented. She's my source when I need confirmation with my own animals. Jana is also an Inspired Rider and we talk about how she's learned to enhance her skills with riding through the Inspired Riding techniques integrated them with her powerful skills.
Enjoy this interview!

Connect with Jana on her page here: Jana Wagner Animal Communication

Jana Wagner Bio:
Animal communicator 10 years
Certified Reiki Master in 3 traditions, Certified Touch for Health Kinesiologist, Certified Spiritual director through Oasis Ministries (a 2 year program)
Active in her church - serves on church council, camera crew organizer.
Bachelor's degree in Equine Business Management and Riding from Johnson and Wales University, Providence RI

She works with all species of animals. Even a pet raccoon!

Jana took her first riding lesson at 8 years old and was hooked. She purchased her first horse, Cheyenne at the age of 12 with money she had saved up. Jana and Cheyenne spent 24 of his 28 years together and competed in many disciplines. Post college Jana worked for hunter/jumper show stables first as a groom and then as a road manager and stable manager for high end show horses up to Grand Prix show jumping level. She traveled to Spruce Meadows in Calgary, Canada and to Europe - Holland, Germany, Switzerland, France and Monte Carlo with the horses. It was during her time traveling abroad for her work that she discovered reiki and alternative healing practices and the fascination for energy healing began.

She has also managed a private stable in Virginia for a saddle maker and there developed her eye for movement, comfort and she was able to begin applying the energetic modalities she was learning with the horses, dogs, cats and chickens that lived on the farm.

Six years ago Jana moved back home to Pennsylvania after her father passed away. This is when Jana decided to commit to developing and honing her skills so that she could develop her own animal communication and healing work to help others with their animals create deeper and lasting understanding and connections.

Jana studied under Sandy Rakowitz of One Heart Healing to hone her animal communication skills and much more. As Jana began to work with more animals and their people she was approached by pet owners seeking for more from their lives. It was then Jana heard about the program for Spiritual Direction for Spiritual Guides and knew that was what she needed to help others.

Out of a love for learning Jana continues to help others in anyway she can. Even if all that is needed is an ear to listen. When we offer a safe space to listen mountains can be moved.

Jana has two corgis, Toby (9 years) and Wallace (1 year) and Chip a 21 yr quarter horse who provide constant entertainment and words of wisdom.

In this episode, I interviewed Shari Meischen.

Shari started her equestrian journey as an adult amateur, when she moved to the Texas Hill Country. She spent several years searching for the right equine partner and trying to make things work with the wrong horses. Several times she found a good horse, only to find it wasn't a good match for her.

During her horse search, she was introduced to the book "Horse Harmony", by Dr. Madalyn Ward. That changed how she looked at horses and gave her a real understanding for why she was struggling with some horses. She has used the principles in the book to find her heart horses Gitano, a Lusitano gelding, and Finnegan, an Irish Draught gelding.

Shari has a true passion for temperament typing and helping owners to better understand their horses, using the Horse Temperament principles. After retiring from a long corporate career, she chose to pursue certification as a Master Horse Temperament Consultant, in order to further her work helping horses and their people build better partnerships. She also has extensive training in holistic equine nutritional studies, through a mentorship with Dr. Ward.

Please contact Shari directly for a consultation at Sameischen@gmail.com This interview is filled with great advice! Enjoy and...

This interview will give you hope if you're struggling with losing weight...

Nicole Parks is an equine-assisted life and weight loss coach. She is certified as a Consistency Coach, as well as with the International Life Coach Federation. Nicole is an Emmy award-winning journalist with a Master’s Degree in Broadcast Journalism. Her career has spanned from CNN.com, to The Weather Channel and other various television stations around the country.

Nicole works with equestrian women who have tried every diet under the sun, yo-yo dieters stuck in the cycle of losing and gaining, older women who think they can’t possibly lose weight and women who suffer from emotional overeating. Her program requires no special foods, no potions or pills, and no exercise that you aren’t already doing.

She partners with thousand-pound weight loss coaches who helped teach her about awareness and heart-based living. As a result, she has lost 28 pounds and has kept it off. Now she brings this wisdom paired with brain science to her clients, in the first and only weight loss program of its kind. This unique program uses the power of the herd to help horse lovers get lighter and have more fun with their equine companions!

How can we help our horses right now?

Let’s think about some of the things we can do right now to help our horses live better lives with us. If you love your horse, my guess is that this is a topic that is forefront in your mind, nearly all the time. Or at least I would hope it is.

My system with Inspired Riding focuses on how to find little improvements, in a step by step approach, so you don’t feel overwhelmed. That’s also a solid plan for life too!

So here we go, here are some things to consider to help your horse right now...

As promised in the previous podcast, I want to share with you the power tools that open the door to having conversations with your horse on an energetic level.

I’m going to take you through all of the steps that I use before, during, and after an animal communication session. Please note, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me through my website, InspiredRiding.com.

Welcome to the Inspired Riding podcast. I’m your host, Beth Lauren Parrish. As a certified riding instructor, remote coach, and animal communicator, I bridge the gap between your inner and outer worlds, as you strive to enhance all aspects of your riding. I’m here to remind you that you are powerful and more than capable of changing your reality with your horse time.

My clients, or as I love to call them, Inspired Riders, are encouraged to slow down, trust their intuition, and listen to their horses in more profound ways than they’ve ever done before.

Are you interested in stepping into a more fun and productive way of being with your horses? Keep listening. And just for a moment, take a nice deep breath with me. Release any tension you might be holding onto right now. You may have been wearing your shoulders as earrings. Or clenching your jaw. Let that go. Soften anything that needs to chill out. This is your time to enjoy and relax.

Just so you know what you’re in for, I intend to share stories, insights, and most importantly, offer practical tools to implement with your horses right away. Yes, I like to call it, Practical Magic. A bold statement perhaps, yet it’s true. I see it happen every day.

So what makes Inspired Riding so magical? Listen and find out...

May the horse be with you. Always.
