If you think it\u2019s worthy of a small contribution, we sure would appreciate it. This is Episode 22 of Season 4. In it, Jec interviews Katrin Silva for a Coaches\u2019 Corner. It\u2019s always fun when these two get together because they know so much. A bit humbling sometimes because their depth of knowledge is vast. Katrin is an accomplished teacher and trainer based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In this conversation, Jec asks Katrin about book learning and how it weaves into riders\u2019 sensibilities. An informative and inspiring talk. We will link to the several books mentioned in the show notes. Also, we welcome Hoka and Skratch Labs to our family of sponsors. Jec and I consider ourselves athletes and we hope you do, too. Like they say with horses and hooves, for want of a shoe a horse was lost, for want of a horse, a rider was lost. Well, we think the same goes for happy human feet. When they\u2019re not in riding boots, keep your feet happy in Hokas. Also, did you know that Skratch Labs offers milk and cookies? They have chocolate milk mix with probiotics, to which you simply add water. And they have cookie mix to which you add butter and things like chocolate chips and nuts. Or whatever you want. Check these new show supporters out at hoka.com and skratch labs .com Thanks to our title sponsor, Lucerne Farms, producers of quality forage feeds, extremely handy and healthy bales of alfalfa, timothy, and grass blends.
