Season 2 of the Whole Horse Podcast kicks off with a bang with
the help of Equijay's Jayne Roberts, joining us all the way from
Australia! We ventured into some taboo territory with our
conversation about women and horses, riding with a free and flowing
pelvis, where and how the masculine and feminine show up in the
horse industry in healthy and not so healthy ways, and why pleasure
has been left out of much of traditional horsemanship and riding.
It was a wild and wooly ride shaking out the cobwebs and busting
myths as we went. Enjoy!
Jayne Roberts is a horse woman who wants to create a world
where we’re all one big healthy happy herd. She combines over four
decades of equine industry experience, research and qualifications
(and a whole lotta life!) to help women and horses to nourish and
flourish, beginning with the grassroots of Forage, Friendship and
Freedom.
As an international equestrienne, Jayne coaches clients around
the world and has played a pivotal role in the development and
management of several equine enterprises in the UK, USA and
Australia. She holds an MSc & BSc in Equine Science, is a
Registered Animal Nutritionist, Certified Holistic Land Management
Practitioner & most recently Feminine Embodiment Yoga & iRest
Meditation Teacher. In addition to guest lecturing at the
University of Edinburgh and supervising post-graduate research,
Jayne has published peer-reviewed papers in the Journal of Equine
Veterinary Science and regularly contributes to equine publications
and industry groups. Along with traditional Pony Club, British
Horse Society & competitive show jumping beginnings she shakes
things up with a wealth of untraditional, real ‘n raw as a rural
ambulatory Equine Vet Tech!
With one foot in the science stirrup, and one firmly grounded
on the yoga mat, she's currently deconstructing much of what she
learnt in her first round. Her heart-felt purpose is to help deepen
the horse-human relationship and live a life that is wildly
nourished, intimately connected and lived with a felt-sense of true
freedom.
