My guest on this episode of TRT the podcast is one of the leading visual optometrists of the world and is also my father in law.
Rob Gevers is helping children with all kinds of learning difficulties, frustrations and the common labels and diagnosis such as ADHD. He is also helping a lot of people with trauma, traumatic brain injuries and many common complaints often caused by the way we live in modern society.
We discuss what some of the main things that are failing people in modern society, how life has changed in the last 100 years and what effects does this have on us on a daily basis.
Often our conversations go deep into the philosophies of behaviour, Awareness, Learning theory and learning processes the differences between horses and humans and the comparisons between both of our passions.
But most importantly Rob offers some simple solutions to better some of our in balances, and difficulties we all face in our lives with and with out our horses.

Super interesting and thought-provoking. Thanks
What a fantastic podcast. Being present in the moment, self awareness and awareness of the environment. This is why horses are such amazing teachers and reflect back to us the quality of our presence. Thank you so much Tristan and Rob, an inspiring conversion.
47:11 Tristan and Rob absolutely brilliant on so many levels. Thankyou so much! On a side note it also helps explain why some people seem to be “a natural” when it comes to horsemanship and others struggle. 🦋
This was great thanks a lot for both. Please more from this. ❤
I am dyslexic. So much of what your guest was talking about made me realize some things about my visual awareness. I never realized how things like spacial awareness and frustration are related not only to over all heath but also each other. When riding one day in a large indoor areana I ran into my riding instructor almost knocking her down. And I was the only rider in there. When I walk around a room there are times when I have to swerve around an object to avoid it and usually end up with a bruised hip or arm. When thinking about being dyslexic I usually think about challenges of math and reading not how dyslexia effects spacial awareness. Very informative pod cast. Thank you for being the open minded person you are Tristan
Love you text Carey, gives more information on how we are so unique.....what an amazing life would be if we could be educated this way to figure ourselves out, our horses, our environment and all the other things that are so important a big inclusion of each other! I can feel it already humanity finally reaching being human.....like the blue people in Avatar ❤
Such a great topic, so interesting. Thank you
I totally agree with your understanding of using our body’s primitive knowing systems to promote health and well-being and I love the parallels between the human experience and the horse experience. Thankyou. A very valuable contribution to mental health (and or ability to communicate with horses).
Excellent info.
So true,daily workin with my horse and enjoying the outside nature is so important than being hooked on your phone.
I really enjoyed this and would luv more of this content. I’ve been working on natural vision improvement the last 5 years and find this really interesting.
Very interesting thank you both for your chat. I am a horse owner and I teach people to train their dogs, very good new awareness thank you! I would love to hear more on focus and unfocus please?
Thank you so much for this! Amazing podcast. So informative 🙂
This was very interesting to listen to and applicable in many aspects of my life. Thanks for putting the time and effort into creating a well thought out and informative podcast. Cheers!
Thank you very much!
Wow fantastic thank you both.
Inspiring podcast! Thank you... what is not clear yet is looking outside in...
That was great!
Brilliant podcast Tristan and Rob! Thank you.
Iain McGilchrist a reknown psychologist who has written his two volume book "The Matter With Things" explains how the excessive amount of left brain activity, only using focus, is breaking down society because the "gestalt" is no longer being seen! Gestalt, is from right brain view of the 'whole picture ' which is what Rob is explaining. This is a beautiful marrying up of three different disciplines saying the same! Psychology, Opthalmology and horseology.....think l just made up a new word 😂 could be TRTology 👀😁🥰
I was born in 1970, when all children were kicked outside so we did not make a mess in the home, we were super messy back then! I then went straight from school to being an assistant shepherd, then onto shearing gangs.... Tristan might know about shearing gangs! Then onto truck driving and now after 30 years of big trucks l have retired from them and concentrate on my horse training via TRT Method. I am autistic and use alot of feel, so l can internally hear my horse and see him ( and the other horses l work with). Feel, self knowledge with honesty and truth, spirit and soul horses really like. Where l keep my horse, the farmer is in his mid-eighties and he keeps his Clydesdale horses, about ten of them, he has such a great way with them despite his age and he is not nibble footed at all. When l go through the big pens of Clydies, two per pen to get the furthest horse out, l use feel to navigate through all those legs.....the horses are about 17.3 to 18hh. Yep peripheral vision is very useful and feel as the horse l have collected will change his feeling depending on the horses in the pen we walk through. I can hear them saying things like " mornin Fred, alright" then next pen it could be " get out the way June".
I am very interested in the spirit and soul of experiencing horses and the non verbal connection between humans and horses. I bet horses can pick up when a human has a shadow in side them that they are refusing to look at. When the human ego rules the roost and the person is incongruent. That their darkside is taking up space in their mind and body, this can happen when the mind, body and spirit (soul) is not fully present and horses can feel that the light of the human is shadowed.
Thanks Rob and Tristan ❤
Thanks very much! Its very very informotif
Thanks Tristan you are amazing.
So, a bit late to see this podcast, but boy how brilliant this is! :D Happy I had a quiet evening and started browsing UA-cam. Ok, I was sitting on the sofa in front of the telly... :D But I recognized several bits of this in my own life; like how changing to more feel than thinking only (feel and mind together, but feel first) lead to amazing experiences in hacking out - enhancing both my and my horse's life. There happens to also be a kindergarten in Finland where the kids do not go indoors at all and it seems that these kids have an advantage later on in their school life; they have more resilience, are more assertive, have more understanding of nature, and their social skills are better. Maybe this is at least partially also due to the spatial awareness that they develop naturally in the great outdoors.
What a nice father-in-law!
Excellent podcast ❤
Makes perfect sense.
Where is the other video on your channel? While I was watching it, the video went offline.. I was wondering why that was? I thought it was a really nice video, I’ve learned a lot.
It was a chestnut horse with a rearing problem. The horse had a difficulty with her balance.

What happens if you’re blind?
My trainer has a visual deficit and she is amazing with horses. She has amazing peripheral awareness because of it. With limited sight I think she has mastered awareness
Or the horse is blind?
