🔥 This moment was right after I had put Ty (the black and white boy) back in the paddock after a session. The arena is right next to their paddock and Nina was standing at the gate watching us intently the entire time.
When we were finished, Nina was ready for her turn… but the only problem was that I had already worked with her!! 😂 She wanted ANOTHER turn!
I never knew that this was possible with horses. I remember a time when I had to hide my halter behind my back in order to catch my horse- and I thought that was perfectly normal.
I thought she was just being a bit “naughty” and I had to show her who was boss and be an assertive leader.
With time, I realized that she wasn’t being “naughty”… not at all. This was a cry for help. She was trying to communicate to me and I shut her down.
I thought that if I give my horse a choice, she will say no and we wont be able to do anything at all… she will probably start to think that SHE is the boss and become dangerous.
I was so, so wrong.
Now she is so excited for her sessions that she starts the session without me 😂 and not just basic little “tricks”- high school dressage movements that are extremely difficult for a horse like her to execute!!
I want the world to know about this way of training with horses. It doesn’t have to be whips, bits and spurs!! There IS another way!
💌 February is a month I hold close for honoring this kind of relationship.
If this speaks to you and your horse, stay close.
I have something special coming soon!! 😍
