I realized that I forgot to post the weekly experiment here! You should have all gotten it in your newsletters, but I would love to know how the experiments go. Tell me what you learned, what you felt, were you able to do it? Ten Minute Tuesday: Can You Lead From Behind? Most of us are used to leading our horses from the front or right next to their head. We guide, we push, we pull. We decide where we’re going. But what happens if you don’t? Try this when you visit your horse today: Grab your lead or longe line and go into an arena or paddock. Instead of sending your horse in a circle… just walk. Let your horse choose the direction. You follow. You stay beside them (at a safe distance). You choose the pace. If they stop and look at something—pause. Be curious with them for a moment. Then ask them to go again… without changing your position. What do you notice: • Do they feel more relaxed? • More confident? • Are they looking for you? • Trying to pull away from you? • Are they confused? Try it and tell me what you notice 👇

I sent out an email today with the liability release - if you get two copies of the release - you only need to do one. I was having a tech challenged moment 🫣. Horses are my strong suit, not software 🤣

If you had a chance to look at the pre-clinic exercises this morning—Breathe for Better Transitions or The Passive Riding Experiment—I’m curious.. What’s one thing you noticed? Maybe: - your timing shifted - your horse changed rhythm or focus - something felt easier (or harder) than expected - or you noticed something about yourself you hadn’t before It doesn’t have to be big or “impressive.”Small observations are where the real learning starts.
