In this thoughtful and inspiring conversation, Jillian Kreinbring shares her lifelong journey in horsemanship and her passion for understanding the horse from the inside out. With a background in equine biomechanics and classical training, Jillian offers a compassionate perspective on movement, soundness, and the deeper relationship between horse and rider.

She reflects on her shift from traditional methods to a more mindful, horse-first approach—one that values observation, patience, and preparation as much as skill. From groundwork to in-hand work, Jillian reminds us that every step, every layer of learning, is part of a holistic process that supports both mental and physical harmony.

This episode invites us to slow down, trust the process, and remember that true horsemanship is a partnership built on awareness, respect, and joy in the journey.

In this peaceful and reflective conversation, Jenny Pim invites us into the world of Equestrian Tai Chi, a practice that bridges the energy between horse and rider through presence, mindfulness, and movement. Drawing from Daoist philosophy, Jenny explains how understanding chi helps us communicate beyond words and connect more deeply with our horses’ natural rhythm and awareness.

She explores the timelessness of horses, their ability to live fully in the present, and how humans can learn to slow down, listen, and feel the energy that flows between beings. Through gentle exercises and thoughtful insight, Jenny reminds us that true connection doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from being more present.
