I started coaching remotely long before Covid existed.
Learn horse behavior, equine communication, health factors, improve rider mindset, develop groundwork and riding skills. Weekly articles, virtual consults and coaching sessions, monthly livestreams, and a horse learning video library. Teaching riders of all experience levels in clinics worldwide for three decades.
Horsemanship: Humans Learning to be Present
What if...
We applied this first to Ourselves?
*Mentally
*Emotionally
and then
*Physically
when we are with the horse?
So many riders use the horse as time for the human to escape from reality or as an outlet from life's stresses.
Rarely do they recognize and address the Supportive Communication the horse needs from Us for them to stay mentally present, emotionally quiet, and physically reasonable.
The "Equine Partnership" will not be successful or retain quality if its foundation is based solely on the horse serving the human.

Horsemanship: Round Pen Use
There was an article on anti round pen usage... Here is my perspective/response:
I find 95% of folks misuse a round pen, whether under the guise of "exercising" or teaching conditioned responses, such as the lesser of two evils is to turn, face the human and be caught; which is a bullying tactic.

Horsemanship: Raising the Human's Awareness
So much of our horsemanship can be improved in the time spent bringing awareness to our own behaviors and thoughts before we involve the horse. 
Horseback Riding: Building balance in the Saddle
Many folks think whether in the competition arena or riding for pleasure have misconceptions as to what being balanced in the saddle is.
The Illusion of Horse Training- Human Misperceptions
The Illusion of "Horse Training"
One of the greatest negative contributors in the horse industry (to both the human and horse) is the misperception of Horse Training.
