Dear Sam: Horse Help Horsemanship Series *Empathy vs. Assumptions Video

Alternative Horsemanship with Samantha Harvey presents Dear Sam: Horse Help Horsemanship Series 

*Empathy vs. Assumptions 

In this video, Sam discusses how many people are starting in a place of assumption with their horses. This causes humans to not recognize the potential cracks or holes in their equine's educational "foundation." This fundamental misunderstanding leads to a majority of the unwanted scenarios experienced with the horse because the handler or rider is assuming and misinterpreting many equine behaviors.
