In this eye-opening episode of the Making Milestones podcast, we delve into an often overlooked issue within the equestrian world: misogyny. Despite being a predominantly female industry, gender biases still pervade, creating an oppressive undercurrent that female riders and trainers have to navigate.
We also delve into gender-related issues beyond women's experiences, acknowledging the struggles of non-binary individuals and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Engage in our heartfelt conversation as we critique societal norms, dispel stereotypes around ADHD, and highlight the legitimacy of self-diagnosis. We emphasize the importance of authenticity and explore the intriguing intersections of neurodivergence among humans and animals, pushing Equestrian boundaries.
Immerse yourself in our informative discussion on brain anatomy, stress, trauma, and neurodivergency in horses. We highlight the profound impact of early life trauma on equine behaviour, reinforcing the necessity for compassionate training methods and adequate care.
Discover the moving stories of Mustangs and the traumatic experiences they endure, reinforcing the similarities between horse and human responses to trauma. Our focus extends to human-induced traumas on these majestic creatures and our collective responsibility to change how we perceive and treat them.
We also probe into the fascinating parallels between human wealth hoarding and individual desires. In the process, we highlight the importance of transforming ourselves and how these changes cascade to improve the mental wellbeing of the horses under our charge. This episode underscores our collective responsibility to create safer and empathetic interactions with all lives around us.
This enlightening episode will resonate with listeners who have an affinity for horse care, personal growth, and the neurodivergent community, inviting them on a journey of self-understanding and inspiring change.
