Your Horse Can Feel Your Heartbeat | Kansas Carradine | EAW 55

✨ "What is HeartMath doing? They're measuring your care." – Kansas Carradine Your heart is broadcasting right now — and horses can feel it. Kansas Carradine has spent 25 years proving it, first on the stages of Cavalia, now in the equine-assisted therapy world. In this episode of Equine Assisted World, Rupert Isaacson speaks with Kansas Carradine, HeartMath-certified trainer and equine guided educator, based in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. Kansas performed with the touring equestrian spectacular Cavalia — working with 70+ horses, many of them stallions — before dedicating her work to heart-based horsemanship. She now offers online courses on HeartMath specifically from the equestrian's point of view. Rupert and Kansas unpack why the heart's electromagnetic field matters in the arena, how horses detect incoherent emotional states, and how any practitioner can layer heart-focus practices into what they're already doing. For practitioners in equine assisted therapy, therapeutic horsemanship, special education, and trauma-informed horse programs, this episode offers a science-backed framework for understanding why the emotional state of the facilitator matters as much as the horse.
