Meet Aaron Englander
Aaron Englander, the voice behind the Just Horse Riders Podcast, brings a wealth of experience and passion for horses. His engaging storytelling and practical advice make each episode a joy to listen to. In this episode, Aaron dives into some unforgettable moments and valuable lessons learned on the farm.
The Arrival of New Horses
It’s always exciting when new horses join the family, and this time was no different. Aaron shares, "We had the two new horses which have now settled in very well." These horses, named Rock and Roses and Princess Grace Apple, brought a mix of excitement and challenges right from the start.
Rock and Roses & Princess Grace Apple
Turning out the new horses was a day filled with nerves and anticipation. Aaron recounts, "We took the two horses Rock and Roses and Princess Grace Apple to the field. They were galloping up and down ever so nicely. Absolutely beautiful."
A Thrilling Escape
However, the excitement quickly turned into a frantic situation. "All of a sudden, bang through the fence onto the main road," Aaron recalls. Thankfully, there were no injuries, but it was a tense moment for everyone involved. Rock and Roses seemed to have just lost control, leading to an unforgettable day on the farm.
Desensitization Training
Training horses is a continuous process, and desensitization plays a crucial role. Aaron explains how Shan, his wife, has been working on desensitizing the horses: "She has a plastic bag and a long stick and waggles it about in front of them until they calm down."
Using TRT Methods
The techniques used are inspired by TRT methods, which focus on calming and training horses to be less reactive. Aaron notes, "It's really working, you can see the progression in them."
Foal Adventures: Meet Soul
One of the highlights of the episode is the adorable new foal, Soul. Aaron describes Soul as "absolutely amazing. She is so gorgeous, and her temperament is just phenomenal."
Daily Interactions
Every morning, Aaron's children, Aya and Lincoln, spend time with Soul, building a strong bond. "Every single morning when I wake up, the kids are already in the field with Dana and the foal petting her," says Aaron.
Learning and Growing
Despite her young age, Soul is already learning a lot. Aaron shares a humorous incident, "I literally put my hand on the back of her bum, and she started trying to buck me. You're like less than a month old and you're already trying to kick my head off!"
Traveling with Horses
Transporting horses can be a daunting task, but Soul handled it like a pro. Aaron recounts, "We loaded Dana into the trailer, and after about 15 minutes, Soul eventually got in and traveled great."
Building Confidence
These experiences are vital for building the foal's confidence. Aaron notes, "Now she knows that she can go in a trailer. She traveled amazing."
A Trip to New York
Aaron took a much-needed break and visited New York with his mom. "I went with my mom just me and her," he shares. This trip was not just about sightseeing but also about spending quality time and learning from each other.
Central Park Carriages
In Central Park, Aaron observed the horse-drawn carriages. He was impressed with the condition of the horses: "These horses looked fabulous. Their coats were shiny. They were muscular. They looked interested."
Connecting with Loved Ones
Aaron emphasizes the importance of spending one-on-one time with family and friends. He shares, "There's all this knowledge everywhere, and eventually, at some point, that knowledge disappears. So what I like to try and do is get as much one-on-one time with the people that are closest to me."
Learning from Others
Aaron encourages listeners to talk to their loved ones and learn from their experiences. "If you have anybody in your family, go out for lunch, go out for dinner, and ask them questions because you'll learn a lot when you ask questions and listen," he advises.
New Brands and Products
Just Horse Riders is excited to announce two new brands on their website: Toggi and Champion. These brands offer high-quality products that meet the needs of every equestrian.

Safety First: Riding Gear Tips
Aaron provides valuable advice on buying riding gear. He emphasizes the importance of getting a proper fit for riding hats and body protectors. "If you've not had your riding hat fitted, do not buy it online. Go to a fitter and make sure you get it fitted correctly," he advises.
Helmets and Body Protectors
Safety gear is crucial for any rider. "You only get one skull. You can buy another hat, but you can't get another skull," Aaron wisely points out. For more safety gear, visit the Stable Rugs Collection and Turnout Rugs Collection.
