Assessing the Horse's Diet- Health, Unwanted Behaviors, and other Concerns
Assessing your horse's diet

Horsemanship- Allowing ourselves Permission to be Present
"Have to" often clouds our awareness and acknowledgment of the horse. It limits our ability to believe and be empathetic towards the horse.
Can horse goals be good? Absolutely
But what if our first Goal was to begin every session by letting our own distractions go. Exhaling our urgencies. Calming our emotions and energy. And being available to "hear" the horse's communication without Critique?
Learning to address the horse in the present helps us succeed with Quality in the future.
