What do you do when all your favorite horse people are gathering at one place, 1200 miles away, to share ideas and new methods for training horses, but the new COVID variant is raging in every state on the eastern seaboard, monster snow storms are brewing, and flights have become an expensive health risk?

You get in your car and you. just. drive.

In this episode, Helena shares her solo road trip from Rhode Island to Ocala, Florida, where she met up with Shawna Karrasch, Tik Maynard, Glenn and Jennifer Hebert, Chelsea Canedy, and the best of all, Gracie Bee. From next-level clicker training to business brainstorming, this was a trip worth taking and sharing… so listen in!

We cover a different part of the United States in this episode, as I talk with Tara Tibbetts, host of the Foxhunting Series on the Horse Radio Network. Tara originally hails from Montana, but has been keeping horses at home in Texas for many years. With a background in quarter horses, a serious side hustle as hunt staff, and some prowess in the show ring, Tara’s horsekeeping practices are as well-rounded as her riding. This is one of those episodes where the listener gets to eavesdrop on a conversation between two friends talking horse care. So listen in for some interesting information and ideas!

In this sixth installment of the HRN Host Series on Happy Horsekeeping, Helena welcomes the legendary Shawna Karrasch, the trainer responsible for bringing positive reinforcement to the horse world. Shawna is the host of Equine Clicker 101 on the Horse Radio Network, the author of You Can Train Your Horse to Do Anything, and in general, a pretty fabulous human being.

In this episode, Shawna and Helena talk about the different ways clicker training can help us keep our horses happier at home or while boarding. From leading quietly without a chain, to good behavior for the farrier, trailer loading, and more. This is an episode you do not want to miss… so listen in!
