In this is episode, Jec chats with Ali Kermeen about working equitation. It\\u2019s a relatively new discipline that\\u2019s open to riders of all disciplines and Ali has a new book about it. Find her Working Equitation book here.\\xa0

If you\\u2019re thinking that working equitation sounds a bit like ranch versatility, you are correct although we\\u2019re not diving into the details in this episode.

I hope you\\u2019re curious about it. In fact, I hope you\\u2019re curious in general! Jec and I have been talking about adult learning a lot lately and you might have noticed a slight tweak in our intro, about embracing a beginner\\u2019s mind. Yep. As it happens, I\\u2019m broadcasting this week from Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I\\u2019m taking a few lessons from Katrin Silva (who has an upcoming book coming out: Ride with Feel: A Guide for the Rest of Us). I\\u2019m excited and nervous as it\\u2019s been a long time since I\\u2019ve had lessons.

We have a question specifically about adult learning from Natalie, a listener who was raised on the East Coast but now works on a ranch in Montana. So stay tuned for that.

Our title sponsor is Lucerne Farms, producers of quality forage feeds. \\xa0And Lucerne is this fantastic company in northern Maine. We\\u2019ll be talking more about Lucerne in upcoming episodes.

We also thank Skratch Labs. If you\\u2019re sweating, you should be staying hydrated with Skratch labs powdered drinks. So much healthier than gatorade or the shady rainbow collection of colored, sweet sports drinks out there. Oh and they have drinks for after a big workout, too. Like chocolate milk, but better.

We thank Kate\\u2019s Real Food and Patagonia WorkWear for their continued support. Did you know? All ya gotta do is comment or suggest a podcast topic or send us a training question here and you\\u2019ll be automatically qualified for our monthly Patagonia WorkWear giveaway.
