Talking Horses

Steve Halfpenny

This podcast is for people looking to communicate in a more refined respectful way with horses. I have spent most of my life looking for better ways of achieving lightness, responsiveness and a feeling of being totally connected to my horses. I would love to share my thoughts and thought of my guests on this journey with you.

In this episode, Steve Halfpenny explores one of the most important moments in a horse’s life — the very first rides. The way a horse is started under saddle will shape its confidence, trust, and relationship with people for years to come. Too often, young horses are started with methods that rely on domination and pressure, leaving them anxious, defensive, or shut down. Steve shares stories of horses he’s worked with that came back from a rough start and needed months of rebuilding trust — and contrasts that with the smooth, willing progress of horses started with clarity and kindness
