If your horse feels heavy in the hand, struggles with transitions, trips, or just doesn't seem to move as freely as they should, the thoracic sling could be part of the answer. Veterinary physiotherapist Calli Charles (@vetphysiophyle) joins us to explain what the thoracic sling actually is, how it influences movement and performance, and how to recognize signs of dysfunction in your own horse. We also discuss the role of conformation, tack, rider position, and simple exercises you can use to help your horse move more comfortably and efficiently.

Every so often, we bring you a lighter conversation with someone whose love of horses has shaped their life in unexpected ways. This week, Beth sits down with award-winning jewelry designer Irene Neuwirth to talk about rediscovering horses as an adult, building a world-class creative business, developing young hunters, and why riding has made her a better entrepreneur. It's a fun conversation about ambition, creativity, and embracing your inner horse girl, no matter where life takes you.

When people ask horse people why we love horses so deeply, it feels impossible to explain. 
In this first episode of Booked with Beth, a new series where Beth Behrs sits down with authors writing about horses, she talks with Emily Haworth-Booth, author of the extraordinary memoir MARE. What begins as a conversation about a book quickly becomes something much bigger: an exploration of grief, identity, menopause, creativity, womanhood, and the mysterious way horses seem to restore something essential in us.
Emily shares the deeply personal story that inspired MARE, from navigating early menopause and the loss of her beloved dog to rediscovering horses as an adult. We explore why horses feel like home, why mares challenge us in ways geldings don't, and what it is about the barn that creates such a unique community... especially for women.

It's easy to assume Olympic horses look like future champions from the very beginning, but Becky Moody's didn't. Of the 3 horses she had at the time, her future Olympic mount was actually the least impressive. 
From evaluating young horses to creating positive tension instead of stress, British Olympian Becky Moody explains the principles that guide her training, coaching, and horse selection. She shares why trainability often beats brilliance, how to develop more independence as a rider, and what she believes separates someone who simply rides a horse from someone who truly trains one.
