This episode is about why horses love Equestrian Tai Chi.
It's a focus for them to really tune into energy and to follow it in their body as we practice and in our bodies too. Horses are really masters at reading energy. It's natural for them to connect through energy.

According to Taoist cosmology, Wu Ji is the undifferentiated source of everything.
Although Wu Ji is the source of everything, it has no desire to create and for this a creative energy is needed, and this creative energy is Tai Ji.
Tai Ji can give birth to, or generate any set of complimentary opposites, both physical and abstract. This episode is about looking at the opposites of Hope and Fear in relation to something you want to do.
I hope you enjoy it and find it useful in some way. -

Now is the time of the wood element in the northern hemisphere. It’s spring the trees are coming into leaf, things are coming into bloom and growth is abundant all around us.
In Taoism and other tradition too, the wood element is one of the five elements, wood fire earth metal and water. At different times of the year, each of the elements is predominant and that is a good time to work with the energy of that element, though all the element are always there in all seasons.

This episode is for riders who feel nervous sometimes and it’s to invite them to consider changing saying or thinking the words ‘I am a nervous rider’ to ‘sometimes I feel nervous when I ride’!
Taoists believe that we can create identities or egos for ourselves without even realising!
When we unwittingly create identities for ourselves, we can live from them and be controlled by them, without us really knowing and this can close down our lives in ways we might not have imagined.

This episode is an overview of the development of the Equestrian Tai Chi Program for riders.

It's New Year's Day today and this is a time when we often look ahead to the year to come and our hopes and dreams.

Along with weaning, loading is another thing that can have a big effect on the foal's life, though not to such an extent as weaning.
