Episode 364
Wednesday, 3 December, 2025
In this episode, Stacy shares why she's taking a winter break from the podcast after seven years of weekly episodes. She talks about stepping into the role of student again—traveling, taking lessons in new disciplines, and learning alongside the horses she's trained. Stacy also explains how watching her horses make their own connections, like Willow linking a dressage exercise to the spin, deepens her understanding and shapes her next steps. Key takeaways: – Why taking time to learn from a new perspective can strengthen your partnership with your horse – How seasoned horses often reveal connections between disciplines long before we see them – The value of creating space to regroup, reset, and return with clarity – How you can stay connected while the podcast is on break—and how to share your feedback for future episodes This episode offers a thoughtful pause before the next chapter. Stacy invites listeners to revisit past episodes, stay connected through her website and email list, and share what they'd like to hear more of when the podcast returns.
