Hi, it's me, Noëlle Floyd. After 12 years of NOËLLE FLOYD productions, I'm returning to my roots – being on the ground, learning from horse people.

I’ll be diving into the heart of horsemanship, connecting with cowboys, historians, Olympians, and everyday riders to challenge conventions and redefine our practices.

Caution: Listening to this episode may change the way you think about horsemanship forever, are you ready?

In the debut episode of Dear Horse World, Noëlle is joined by Josh Nichol, renowned teacher and creator of Relational Horsemanship. Noëlle shares her journey with her rescue Appaloosa, Lady, and how Josh’s guidance helped Lady overcome aggression and resistance—not through control, but by challenging Noëlle’s ability to become vulnerable, receptive, and self-aware.

In this inspiring episode, Noëlle sits down with rising showjumping star Richard Vogel, whose partnership with his horse, United Touch S, captivates crowds the moment they step into the ring. Their presence, determination, and undeniable skill leave the audience in awe, wondering, “How can I create a bond like that with my horse?”

When your horse starts limping or bucking, it’s easy to assume the problem is something visible. But what if it’s hiding deep within—buried in organs, muscle, or fascia?

In this episode, Niki shares how becoming a mom changed her bold approach to life and revealed new layers of resilience. She talks about raising her three boys on their 8,000-acre ranch, where parenting and horsemanship go hand in hand, and how every day is a lesson in patience, compassion, and hard work.

In this episode of No Stupid Questions, equine osteopath Jessica Van Buskirk joins Noëlle for an enlightening look at how osteopathy can transform your approach to horse health. Jessica dives into osteopathy’s unique “whole horse” approach, focused on balancing three main systems: the parietal (musculoskeletal), visceral (organs), and cranial sacral systems.

Inspired by the memory of two loved ones lost to depression, Jodie launched Green, Gold, and Blues to bring attention to mental health in underserved areas. Even when drought forced her to abandon the Australian trail, she didn’t stop. Instead, she took her mission to North America’s Continental Divide Trail, driven by a belief that even the hardest paths can lead somewhere meaningful.

What if your breath and energy hold the key to self-awareness, emotional healing, and a deeper bond with your horse? In this episode, yoga and neuroscience-informed breathwork expert Julia McCabe and relational horsemanship trainer Josh Nichol explore how understanding your inner world transforms your outer relationships—with horses, people, and yourself.

Have you ever wondered where you truly belong in the horse world—or worried that you don’t? In this episode, recorded live from Equine Affaire, Noëlle Floyd and Caroline Culbertson share their journeys of navigating uncertainty, embracing vulnerability, and building communities where riders of all backgrounds can feel at home.
