Positive Rider Podcast

by Lisa K

Welcome to The Positive Rider Podcast, where we share ideas to make the world more positive for humans, for our horses, and for the horse community. I’m Lisa, a DIY Amateur equestrian, and my horse Cupcake and I have been on a roller coaster of learning and using positive reinforcement and clicker training for horses. I grew up in the traditional equestrian world, from 4-H, to stock horse all around, hunter jumpers, and dressage. It has my heart. I know we can grow, learn, and do better. I also know that deep down, we’re all just humans who love horses. I’m about having meaningful conversations and sharing real experiences, the amazing and the heart wrenchingly hard, to help you find a more positive place for you and your horse. Cupcake and I would love to hear from you! Instagram: @clickwithcolor
