A proposito di questo titolo

 Horsefriends international - Science for the equestrian soul is the English podcast by and with Celina Skogan. Horses are Celina's passion, and of course that's what this podcast is about. Together with her guests she looks at the complete horse - free of riding philosophies and myths, but as an even partner and worthy companion. Hence, we take a clear look at the horse´s nature and the available data and facts. Together with great guests from science and practice we share true horse knowledge with you, because our mission at Equidemia is to empower you as a horseowner. Igiene e vita sana

  • Equine Hanna Somatics — Training the Nervous System with Alissa Mayer

    Equine Hanna Somatics — Training the Nervous System with Alissa Mayer
    Jan 16 2026
    In this episode, Celina Skogan from Equidemia speaks with Alissa Mayer BSc (Equine), EHSE-C, director of the Equine Hanna Somatics® Professional Training & Certification Program, about how Hanna Somatics principles can be applied to horses — why chronic tension isn’t just a mechanical issue, how the nervous system learns and unlearns movement, and what this means for prehab, rehab and training. This conversation bridges neuroscience, motor learning, pain science and equine performance, offering a fresh perspective on posture, comfort and movement quality — and reframing persistent muscle tension as a neurophysiological learning pattern that can be retrained, not just worked on. You will gain a clear understanding of what Equine Hanna Somatics actually addresses, how sensory-motor amnesia can develop in horses through stress and learned patterns and why voluntary pandiculation plays a central role in restoring movement awareness. The episode highlights where this approach can be genuinely effective, where its limits lie and how it can be integrated thoughtfully alongside veterinary care and training. It also offers insight into how nervous-system-based learning may shape the future of sustainable performance and equine welfare.

  • Happy athletes don’t bleed

    Happy athletes don’t bleed
    Nov 14 2025
    In this episode, I talk about cognitive dissonance in the horse world: why we do what we know we shouldn’t – and how to move from maybe to integrity. We revisit Festinger’s theory, real barn-life examples, and research showing how humans often adjust perception when they don’t want to change behaviour. Pop-culture bridge: Fettes Brot – “Jein”. The perfect anthem for ambivalence.

  • Embodiment – How Emotions Take Shape in the Body Part 3

    Embodiment – How Emotions Take Shape in the Body Part 3
    Nov 7 2025
    In this episode, we explore how emotions take shape in the body – in humans and in horses alike. What we call a “gut feeling” is actually measurable through breathing, posture, and muscle tone. 📎 Key research mentioned: Hausberger et al. (2021): Detecting Welfare in a Non-Verbal Species: Social/Cultural Biases and Difficulties in Horse Welfare Assessment Additional recent research: ScienceDirect article 💡 Takeaways: Emotions aren’t just in the mind – they show up in the body. The horse’s body speaks first – we often listen too late. What we perceive as “normal” may already signal compromised welfare. Awareness + training = learning to read the body.
