The Deeper Connection Between Horse and Rider! (Derry Vilcans-Moody, English)

🐴 Horse and Health Podcast – With Dario Wilkins Moody 🐴

In this inspiring episode of the Horse and Health Podcast, Anne Axéll talks with coach, riding instructor, rider biomechanics specialist and equine sports massage therapist Dario Wilkins Moody from the UK.

Together they dive deep into the connection between horse and rider, the importance of groundwork, rider balance, body awareness and how small changes can create big improvements for both horse and human.

Dario shares his journey into the horse world, how curiosity and a passion for learning led him into biomechanics and massage therapy, and why understanding the horse’s body is essential for creating harmony in riding.

✨ In this episode you will hear about: • Why groundwork is the foundation for everything • How rider asymmetry affects the horse • The importance of being present with your horse • Equine massage and how it helps horses physically and mentally • Riding simulators and how they improve rider balance • Why slowing down can improve both riding and connection • How horses teach empathy, responsibility and life skills

This conversation is full of thoughtful reflections, practical advice and inspiration for every horse owner and rider — whether you compete, hack for pleasure or simply love being around horses.

Dario also shares beautiful reminders about listening to horses, observing their body language and creating a calm, balanced partnership built on trust and understanding.

💛 “Small steps will give you the greatest growth.”
