50. Dressage In Hand With Josepha Guillaume

In this episode, I have a really interesting conversation with Josepha Guillaume who is an international horse trainer, instructor and author based in Belgium. Together we talk about: How she started riding (riding wild ponies and being introduced to classical dressage) How she didn't envisage a career with horses in the beginning as she deeply felt the suffering of horses and others didn't understand how she was feeling Her transition to helping more people with their horses after she started collecting horses that needed help in her early 20's How she has always focussed on coaching in a way where you prioritise listening to your horse  How she and her husband started the first bitless tack shop in the world Experimenting working with horses without any tack Travelling all around the world to help horses to then transitioning her focus to helping trainers to create the most impact Letting the horse dictate the training to help them overcome their trauma/problems The challenges of following her own intuition and advocating for horses Her book - Dressage In Hand Experimenting with your horse at liberty Where she thinks the equestrian industry is heading How she plays with her horse Letting your horse say no and so much more!
