Kate and Kathleen - Episode 15 with Jane Pike, Talking about Rider fitness

March 2025

This week with Kathleen and Kate is a very special guest-  Jane Pike!  She of Confident Rider fame, and a passionate advocate for embodied practices for humans who share their lives with horses.  Well all humans everywhere really. We were asked a question by a listener about rider fitness - how 'fit' do we need to be to ride a horse, and how do the other tasks we do in relation to horse care (wheelbarrows and buckets) contribute or not to our fitrness to ride? Jane brings her own compassionate and innovative take ob this, considering movement more from the perspective of the nervous system and how this impacts our relationship  with our bodies and therefore with the bodies of our horses.  If you would like to find out more about Jane you can find her on:
