Ross Cooper of Rosca Horsemanship and Amy Mitchell of Areion Academy and Strong Foundations Hoof Care are your hosts of The Little Horse, Big Conversation Podcast, bringing you the conversations that need to be heard.

Exploring the powerful parallels within the horse–human partnership, they dive into equine welfare, training, and hoof care, alongside personal growth, psychology, and self-development.

Alongside their own perspectives, they are joined by a diverse range of guess, experts and voices from within and beyond the equestrian world—offering fresh insights, challenging perspectives, and real-life experiences that deepen the conversation and broaden understanding.

With a blend of expert knowledge, lived experience, and meaningful dialogue, this podcast uncovers the lessons, awareness, and opportunities our horses continually offer; both in horsemanship and in life.

  • In Conversation With.. Yasmin Stuart Equine Physio
    Jun 30 2026
    This week, Amy and Ross sit down for a thoroughly enjoyable conversation with Yasmin Stuart, Equine Physiotherapist and founder of The Modern Centaurian Academy. During this episode, Yasmin talks us through what led her towards a career in Equine Physiotherapy and the direction her career has taken since, prioritising consensual feedback in relation to the horses body and ultimately how our own experiences are intimately linked to our ability to both recognises and empathise with equine discomfort. Reflecting on how one can show up for their horse by incorporating nervous system regulation in to daily practice through set rituals, Yasmin walks us through the creation of the Modern Centaurian Academy, her excitement of the postural and psychological benefits of scent work and enrichment before summarising the changes that she wishes to see in the equine industry
