    In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Chris Waldhaus - founder of the Cascade Trails Mustang Sanctuary and a true voice for the wild horse.

    I absolutely loved recording this one; the energy Chris brings is unforgettable.

    His stories, insights, and deep respect for the mustang’s spirit will leave you feeling inspired to see horses and freedom - in a whole new light.

    If you’ve ever dreamed of a deeper, wilder connection with horses, this one’s for you.

    Forgive us for a few connection dropouts - desert life is real! But I promise, it doesn’t take anything away from this powerful and heartfelt conversation ♥

  • 104. Real horsemanship starts, when ego ends
    Oct 17 2025

    Send us a text

    In this short but powerful episode, Zoë shares her thoughts on how ego quietly slips into our work with horses and how everything changes when we let it go.

    From the need to look good or rush progress, to the subtle ways we take things personally, this episode explores what it really means to be present and truthful with our horses.

    Because the moment we stop trying to prove ourselves... the horse finally has space to trust us.

    • “You can’t fake presence - they feel the truth.”
    • “Every horse offers a lesson, but we must be willing to learn first.”
    • “The horse we dream of is hidden under the human we must become.”

    Listen now and rediscover what real horsemanship feels like when the ego steps aside ♥

    Midway through today’s episode, you’ll also hear about Excellent Horse, a brand I love sharing with you – they’ve been keeping horses happy and healthy for over 35 years and mine the last 5 years.

    In this episode, I dive into why it happens and why it’s not always personal.

    I’ll share my thoughts on instinct, timing, and where we position ourselves around horses so we can stay safe, connected, and build trust and partnership instead of fear.

    Every rider has them: those rides that don’t go to plan, leaving you frustrated, defeated, or questioning everything.

    But one bad ride doesn’t define you or your horse.

    In this episode, Zoë shares practical ways to reset after a tough session.

    From pausing and reflecting with kindness, to finding the learning hidden inside the struggle, to rebuilding positivity with your horse, you’ll discover how to bounce back with confidence and perspective.

  • 101. My horse changed - Or did I?
    Sep 5 2025

    Send us a text

    Have you ever wondered if your horse has truly changed or if it’s actually you?

    In this episode, Zoë explores the subtle (and not-so-subtle) shifts that can happen in the horse-human partnership.

    From the magical moments when both rider and horse grow together, to the times when progress feels like it’s slipping away, we’ll unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface.

    You’ll learn how to recognize whether your horse is reflecting your own development, signaling gaps in the foundation, or simply showing the next stage of growth.

    If you’ve ever felt confused about whether your horse is improving, regressing, or just mirroring you, this short episode will bring clarity and encouragement ♥
