Come down the rabbit hole with me again this time with a new favorite of mine, Shannon Beahen from humminghorse equestrian. Shannon takes us in to the realms of energetics and their physical affect in relationships with our horses.

From October, 2022
How the pure energetics of a prey animal like the horse, and the immediate feedback they give, makes them great mirrors. How a “yes” or “no” is never simple or finite and can change over timeHow both horses and humans need to be given space to answer a request or solve a problem in a flexible and autonomous way. How somatic empathy can walk the line between understanding another being and becoming enmeshed. How control can creep into care in a practitioner-client relationship.

The Whole Horse Podcast | Episode 92 | The nuances of no + the connection in choice with Shannon Beahen
It’s my second podcast conversation with Shannon Beahen of Humminghorse Equestrian and boy, was it a good one. We travelled a lot of territory as we discussed the nuances of no, the possibility that comes with choice, some of the core wounds of horses (specifically the “weaning” wound) and how to support, and Shannon’s new course, Cleaning up the contact zone, and some key take-aways from her exciting curriculum. Much gold to be found here and I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

The Whole Horse Podcast | Episode 81 | Classical Foundations, Wild Movement and Deep Attention with Shannon Beahen.
It’s the very last episode of Season 4 and I’m so glad it was with Shannon Beahen of Humminghorse Equestrian. Our conversation was wide-ranging, fun, tangential, and so enjoyable. We chatted about everything from getting more nuanced about the “no”, to meditation and it’s role in our clarity, to incorporating consent into training, to track systems, and even got into numerology a little!
