Rupert Isaacson speaks with Dr. Amanda Minervini, founder of EGLHE (Equine Guided Learning And Healing Experience), a nonprofit equine program in Colorado Springs, and professor at Colorado College. EGLHE began taking shape during the pandemic, in response to a worsening mental health crisis. It was built around the preferences of one horse: Jimmy, an off-the-track Thoroughbred who raced as a stallion, was not gelded until after age nine, and was labeled dangerous. Originally intended for Amanda's college students, the program is now open to everyone. It brings together consent-based horsemanship, classical in-hand work, liberty, scent work, and good management, with a core belief that horses have a voice and that humans don't have to be in charge.The conversation walks through how Amanda layers a session so that a horse can safely run free through the woods with people who have never been near a horse, how scent work for horses can build confidence in a spooky horse, and why a horse must always be regulated enough to learn. Amanda also shares what she observed with the medicine paint horses at a Lakota Sun Dance, and she and Rupert explore the sacred in equine-assisted work, consciousness, Saint Francis of Assisi, and how zooanthropology helps her bridge methods rather than choose just one.✨ "I'm trying to show humans that they don't have to be in charge with horses, that it can be a shared enterprise." – Dr. Amanda MinerviniIf you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome🔍 What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat EGLHE is, and why Amanda started it in response to the mental health crisis during the pandemicHow Jimmy, an off-the-track Thoroughbred labeled "dangerous," became the horse EGLHE was built aroundWhy good management (herd life, a big pasture, free-choice hay) was the foundation of Jimmy's changeHow Amanda layers a session, from herd observation to arena liberty work to free movement in the woodsWhy she never assumes, and works with the horse she has on that dayWhat scent work for horses is, and how to progress from visible treats in an arena to open searching on the trailWhy olfactory seeking work may build curiosity and confidence in spooky horsesWhy a horse must be regulated enough to learn, and what to do when fear is too bigHow novel movement and BDNF connect horse wellbeing, human focus, and Amanda's own 17 years of kung fuWhat Amanda observed about the medicine paint horses and their caretakers at a Lakota Sun DanceHow Saint Francis of Assisi and the idea of humans as "holobiomes" shape Amanda's view of connectionHow a zooanthropology lens helps Amanda act as a bridge between methods, disciplines, and culturesWhy Rupert believes the synthesis of many methods is the next generation of equine-assisted work🎤 Memorable Moments from the Episode07:38 Amanda describes Jimmy's past: a stallion on the track, gelded after age nine, labeled dangerous, yet the only one he ever hurt was himself.11:15 A grieving paint mare in her late 20s, who had lost her best friend days earlier, crosses the ranch uninvited and canters alongside the group.13:39 Amanda breaks down the two-and-a-half-hour session: herd observation, arena liberty with a ball and tarp, a lead-line walk, then liberty in the woods.22:14 Amanda credits 17 years of kung fu with giving her the focus to succeed in graduate school.36:00 From treats on barrel tops to hidden scents to scattered finds on the trail, Amanda outlines how scent work progresses.37:32 Riding Jimmy with a rein keeper, Amanda lets him search freely, and he chooses to go over poles without being asked.44:39 Amanda's golden rule: there is no learning in fear, and she has promised her horses she will never put them in a freak-out situation.53:37 Amanda describes students repeating in post-session questionnaires that they felt more balanced, more focused, and even more willing to do homework.1:19:40 Amanda spends two days with the Sun Dance's medicine paint horses and sees them grow eager when it's time for their role.1:23:37 Rupert recalls his horse Clue leaving the herd to sniff and lick a child in a wheelchair who had drowned and seemed unresponsive, and the child becoming responsive.1:40:54 Rupert tells how his uncle, a pathologist, explained why most people misunderstand the placebo effect.1:59:28 Rupert shares that a new Horse Boy center is opening in County Cork, Ireland, with the prime minister turning the sod.📚 Contact, Projects, and Resources MentionedDr. Amanda Minervini – Professor, Colorado College; Founder, EGLHE (Equine Guided Learning And Healing Experience) https://amandaminervini.weebly.com New Trails Learning Systems – Horse Boy Method, Movement Method & Takhin Equine Integration https://ntls.co Rupert Isaacson / Long Ride Home https://rupertisaacson.com Patreon Support https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome🌍 Follow UsLong Ride Home https://longridehome.com https://facebook.com/...
