Dear Horse World, it's Dr. Connie Fancy, DVM – Invisible Injuries & What Your Horse's Body Is Trying To Tell You
15 oktober 2024 · 1 uur 17 min
When your horse starts limping or bucking, it's easy to assume the problem is something visible. But what if it's hiding deep within—buried in organs, muscle, or fascia? Lees meer
Often, the real troublemakers are internal misalignments, quietly pulling on connective tissue, restricting blood flow, and crying out in ways we overlook. For countless horses, these health issues go undetected, especially when X-rays come up clean and injections fail to help.
Their behavior gets punished instead of understood—but that changes now. In this episode, we introduce you to Dr. Connie Fancy, DVM.
With a talent for finding what's been overlooked, Dr. Fancy uses internal ultrasounds and hands-on assessments, teaming up with equine osteopaths to tackle the root causes of horse behavior that most vets miss.
She's booked solid for months by desperate owners, and her discoveries are eye-opening: flipped ovaries, immobile kidneys, severe fascia pulls, and even detrimental damage from gelding scars—all hidden beneath the surface.
Noelle also digs into her own experience with Dr. Fancy, revealing the surprising findings in her own mare and gelding.
If you've ever been stumped by your horse's behavior or frustrated by unexplained performance setbacks, Dr. Fancy offers a fresh approach that could change everything you thought you knew about equine health.
Dr. Connie's book that she would read to the Horse World - From My Hands to Yours: Lessons from a Lifetime of Training Championship Horses by Monty Roberts
This episode isn't just eye-opening—it's the revelation your horse has been waiting for.

Dear Horse World, it's Josh Nichol - How to transform your relationship with your horse
1 oktober 2024 · 1 uur 47 min
Caution: Listening to this episode may change the way you think about horsemanship forever, are you ready? Lees meer
In the debut episode of Dear Horse World, Noëlle is joined by Josh Nichol, renowned teacher and creator of Relational Horsemanship. Noëlle shares her journey with her rescue Appaloosa, Lady, and how Josh's guidance helped Lady overcome aggression and resistance—not through control, but by challenging Noëlle's ability to become vulnerable, receptive, and self-aware.
Josh introduces the powerful concept of a horse's three needs: Mind, Space, and Pressure. The mind is key to their understanding, space is the energy and body language between you, and pressure is the ask—the invitation for your horse to yield and release. Together, these create a contract of trust, liberating your horse to feel safe, confident, and capable.
Noëlle and Josh dive deep into the critical question: Are we in the receptive state we ask of our horses? Are we present enough to observe their needs, or are we distracted by our own tension and anxieties? Josh shows how a receptive state is not just the foundation of horsemanship, but of how we show up in life.
You'll also learn that 'Feel' isn't a talent you either have or don't have—it's a practice. It starts with presence and awareness, being able to observe your horse's needs in the moment, and responding with intention. Josh provides practical insights on how to guide your horse through the pressure they experience, empowering them to release that pressure and, in turn, strengthen their trust in you.
This episode will inspire you to rethink your approach to horsemanship—not just as something you do, but as a relationship you build day by day. It's about creating the conditions where your horse feels understood, secure, and willing to take on hard things with you. It's about leading with vulnerability, speaking to your horse's mind, space, and pressure, and ultimately building a foundation of trust that empowers both you and your hors…
