Margaret Parsons

The Price of Undervalued Hands

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/12/11

A fiery, unfiltered dive into the hidden energetics behind equine bodywork- what we charge, why it matters, and how money decisions ripple through the care horses actually receive. This isn’t about spreadsheets or strategy. It’s about truth-telling, self-worth, and the uncomfortable decisions that shape a horse’s quality of life. If you’ve ever felt the tension between wanting to help and wanting to survive, this episode will hit you right in the spine and make you rethink everything you thought you

Rest, Rehab, and Doing Future You a Favor

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/12/04

If winter has you exhausted, low key resentful, and wondering if you’re dropping the ball with your horse or your business, this episode is your permission slip to stop fighting the season you’re in. We’re exploring what rest actually looks like for a high-achieving horsewoman, why “slow season” is usually a lie you’ve been sold, and how a few minutes of intentional rehab can do more than months of white knuckling it.This isn’t a to do list; it’s a recalibration. You’ll walk away with a different

The Magic Isn’t Out There- It’s YOU

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/11/20

You’ve been told energy work is advanced. That healing is for the gifted. That your hands don’t matter unless they’re certified in 10 modalities and your brain can recite every anatomical detail. That’s a lie. The truth? You’re already wired for this. You’re already powerful. You just forgot.This episode is your reminder. That your thoughts have force. Your words have weight. And the magic you're chasing is already in your body, your mind, your field. Margaret breaks down how healing actually

Obsessed with the Abscess

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/11/13

Everyone thinks they’d catch an abscess- until they don’t. Until they’re two vet bills deep, still guessing, still stuck with a mystery lameness that doesn’t add up. And when you’re being told it’s a suspensory injury or something “career-ending,” you listen… right? Except what if they’re wrong? What if the root cause is simpler, more common, and way more misunderstood than anyone’s saying out loud?This episode drops the curtain on one horse’s so-called retirement diagnosis and the truth that came

When Omeprazole Fails

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/11/06

A clean scope doesn’t mean your horse is fine- it just means the ulcers aren’t where anyone’s looking. And that should piss you off.In this episode, Margaret gets unapologetically loud about a missing link in equine ulcer treatment: pyloric and glandular ulcers. She breaks down the biological blind spots, the reason omeprazole fails in these cases, and why some of the most exhausted horses you’re riding might actually have compromised stomach exits- not stomach linings. You’ll hear a powerful real

Party Like It’s 1999? Absolutely. But Don’t Feed Like...

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/10/30

You can party like it’s 1999. But if you’re still feeding your horse like it’s 1999? That sweet feed, that corn oil, that “fat makes fat” mindset- it’s the nutritional equivalent of dial up internet. Slow, outdated, and guaranteed to break things. This episode slices through the BS that’s still hanging around barn aisles and feed rooms, from metabolic crashes and tying up to how your horse doesn’t even have a gallbladder and what that means for the feed you’re dumping in their bucket. Margaret gives

Regulation Isn’t the Answer- It’s the Cage

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/10/23

They won’t come out and say it, but here’s the quiet part out loud: the more powerful you become, the more they’ll try to contain you. Slap on a license. Add more rules. Call it “safety.” But when the system starts deciding who’s allowed to serve horses, what gets taught, and what’s “enough”- we lose the very thing that makes this work powerful: intuition, innovation, and lived skill.This is not a rant. It’s a call to pay attention. Margaret breaks down how regulation in the bodywork world isn’t

Start Before You Feel Ready (Yes, Even With That Horse)

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/10/16

What if the thing you’re waiting for- more confidence, more clarity, more clients- only shows up after you move? This one is your permission slip to stop spinning in “I’m not ready” and start trusting what you already know. Margaret dives into the truth about why the hardest horses are often the ones that build you, why practitioners attract the cases they need, and how your biggest transformation doesn’t come from a new certifications- it comes from stepping in, showing up, and letting it be

Osteopathy: The Root of Healing

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/09/30

You’ve tried massage. You’ve tried chiro. Maybe you’ve even dabbled in craniosacral or red light. But if you’ve ever felt like your horse’s progress stalls- or like you’re chasing symptoms instead of healing the root- this episode is your wake up call.Osteopathy isn’t just another modality. It’s the tree that all the other branches grew from- and it’s the framework that finally lets everything make sense. Margaret unpacks the origin, principles, and real life application of osteopathy in horses,

Wonder Camp Year 3: Sovereignty and the Real Work

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/09/18

You can’t hide behind technique when your nervous system is screaming. You can’t fake groundedness when your horse already knows better. And you can’t create real connection from a place of emotional chaos. So what happens when you stop adjusting your horse and start adjusting you? In this riff, Margaret shares how Wonder Camp and a soul confirming trip to Phoenix cracked open a deeper level of sovereignty, clarity, and embodied leadership- revealing how the patterns we carry in our body and

Your Horse Called- They’d Like a Say in This

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/09/11

What if your horse isn’t stubborn, dramatic, or difficult at all- but just done with being ignored? The truth most riders miss is that comprehension isn’t the same as embodiment. You can “know” your horse is a sentient being and still run right over their choices every single day. That’s where trust dies, and where magic never even gets the chance to show up.This episode is about what changes when you stop controlling and start listening- how sovereignty reshapes trust, why advocacy is

Hansel, Gretel, and the Horse Who Hid the Truth

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/09/04

You don’t have a “mystery lameness.” You have a trail you didn’t track soon enough. And every sore spot, sticky stifle, or spook in the cross-ties is a breadcrumb your horse dropped on the path to truth- while everyone else keeps treating the damn mold instead of asking why the bread got moldy in the first place. In this one, Margaret unpacks what real root cause resolution looks like, why your horse’s compensation patterns are smarter than your vet diagnostics, and how to stop getting stuck in

From Kill Pen to Kingdom

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/08/28

You’re not doing it wrong if the ending isn’t tidy. Some horses don’t heal on a schedule. Some won’t ever let you in all the way. And some? They just needed a soft landing before the end. In this story soaked episode, Margaret opens the portal on a vision born from one broken horse and a decade long twist of fate- and how that vision is reshaping what “rescue” really means. From the mirror of the kill pen to the myth of the “fix,” this episode dives into honoring endings, meeting pain with presence,

Stop Ignoring Your Magic and Actually Train It

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/08/21

Most people wait for intuition to feel like fireworks before they trust it. That’s exactly why they miss it. Real magic is quieter, subtler, and built through repetition- until you can spot what others can’t. This episode drills into how to work your “magic muscle,” why your horse’s behavior might actually be a mirror of your own emotions, and how emotional regulation clears the noise so your intuition comes through loud and clear. You’ll walk away with the mindset shifts and daily practices that

The Unspoken Rules of a Sought After Healer

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/08/14

There’s a moment every true healer faces: the split-second choice to stay safe- or speak up. For the horse. For the human. For the unseen root of it all. The ones who don’t flinch when it matters are the ones who get called back again and again. Not because they have magic hands (though you might), but because they carry something rarer- conviction. This episode unpacks what makes a practitioner indispensable, how owners accidentally sabotage their own horse’s healing, and why too many “experts” get

You Can’t Train Out Trauma

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/07/31

You say you’re body positive. But are you really listening when your body speaks- or only when it screams? You claim to trust your intuition. But are you following it, or just proud that you recognize it sometimes? Margaret strips away the soft-focus slogans and exposes the subtle ways we silence what our bodies- and our horses- are begging us to hear. This is about what gets lost when we get defensive instead of curious.Margaret Parsons is here to cut the BS and get straight to how you can heal

If It’s Not a Yes, It’s a Fucking No- Even from Your...

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/07/24

What if your horse isn’t defiant, difficult, or “just an ass”—they’re just done being touched without being heard? For women like us- taught to override our bodies, trained to earn our worth, and conditioned to ignore our own no’s- it’s no surprise we miss theirs. Kate Tobiasson joins Margaret for a profound unraveling of what consent really looks like with horses: not trained cues or transactional obedience, but a two way, body led conversation that starts in the pasture, at the gate, with a single

Machines Don’t Heal Horses. Energy, Strategy, and...

Hope For The Hopeless Horse ·

2025/07/17

You think you’re helping- but what if the tool in your hand is actually making things worse? This episode is a wake up call and a reclaiming. A reclaiming of real skill over shortcuts. Of energetic presence over mechanical pressure. And of the kind of hands on connection that doesn’t just touch tissue, but changes lives. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice or powerless in the face of your horse’s pain, this will anchor you back to truth: less is more, energy matters, and healing

Locked Out of Success? Fascia Holds the Key

2025/07/13

What if the same fascia that keeps your horse locked up is the reason you can’t soften into safety? This conversation blows open the myth that healing is mindset work. Jenna Wahl and Margaret trace the tension straight to your tissues- showing how trauma, mother wounds, and high-achiever conditioning don’t just live in your story, they live in your structure. And when you start releasing what’s stuck- whether in your own hips or your horse’s hind end- you don’t just move better. You relate
