Interfering Human Behaviors



As folks are learning with their horse or experimenting with a new way of communicating and interacting, they can unintentionally develop intensity in their facial expression, posture, energy, and movement.

Horses, Humans and Pressure


When we work with a horse we primarily use two forms of pressure to communicate, physical (the lead rope attached to the halter, the rein, the leg, the seat, etc.) or spatial (not touching the horse but able to influence his brain and movement.) Vocal commands are a third, less common form of pressure.

Building Confidence in the Rider

 Tips for the Insecure, Anxious, Anticipative, or Timid Rider

What about building the rider's confidence for riding out?


Building Confidence in the Horse

 Confidence- just because a horse is going through the motions of "doing things" and is "learning" does not mean that he is gaining confidence and feeling secure from his experiences.
