Horses and The Learning Journey
One Step at a Time
It is very easy to be overwhelmed by everything that "isn't" or is challenging, frustrating, and exhausting with the horse.
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.

Automated Blog Update Emails and Changes
Hello Blog Subscribers!
If you currently subscribe to the weekly automated Blog Updates email, this week's mailing will be the final "automated" update that you are sent from MailChimp. This service will no longer be offered, and due to their continually increasing costs for basic services, I'm switching bulk email service providers. You will start to see email notifications from me, hosted by EmailOctopus.
For the time being, if you'd like to read the latest blog posts, you can visit the BLOG directly, or use/save this link to quickly view the latest posts, (but without access to all of the blog features.)
As always, on both the in-person learning website and the Remote Horse Coach site, there are direct links to the blog.
