Listen "#10 - Optimizing physical and mental integrity in sport horses w/ Celeste-Leilani Lazaris"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the EquiScience Podcast, I’m joined by Celeste Lazaris, an experienced horse trainer and bodyworker and the founder of The Balance Through Movement Method, to discuss her journey in the equine world. We dive into her transition from traditional training methods to a more holistic approach that focuses on understanding pain in horses and how it influences their behavior. Celeste explains the science behind nerve compression, the importance of soft contact and proper communication, and critiques common training tools like the Pessoa system. We also touch on how breeding impacts performance, the balance of strength and mobility in training, and the psychological aspects of horsemanship. In addition, we explore injury prevention, the challenges of navigating the veterinary world, and the emotional aspects of end-of-life decisions for horses. Throughout, Celeste emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to equine health, considering both the physical and mental well-being of the horse.How to get in touch with Celeste!
