With Heart in the Saddle – Teaching with Joy and Respect (Erlene Smythe, English)

In this episode, we meet Erlene Smythe, a passionate riding instructor and third-generation horsewoman who has spent her entire life with horses. At the riding school where she teaches, Arabians are used as school horses – a choice that brings both elegance and energy to the lessons. Erlene teaches students of all ages and levels, from complete beginners to competitive riders, always with the same core focus: the well-being of the horse comes first. With warmth and clarity, she shares her insights on recognizing each horse as an individual, keeping the joy in riding, and watching for that special sparkle in the horse’s eye that tells you they’re happy in their work. https://www.facebook.com/ApexRidingAcademy
