Why Your Isn't Listening! New podcast episode out 🤗
I see this all the time…
Riders thinking:
“My horse is ignoring me.”
“My horse is being difficult.”
“My horse just won’t listen.”
But what if that’s not what’s actually happening?
What if your horse isn’t doing anything to you…
They’re responding to what they don’t understand?
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why taking things personally shuts down communication
- How we’ve been taught (without realizing it) to expect our horses to just comply
- Why horses learn more like toddlers than machines
- And how simplifying your asks can completely change everything
đź’ One idea I really want you to sit with:
Just because you take great care of your horse…
doesn’t mean they understand you.
🔬 This Week’s 10-Minute Experiment:
Pick one thing you do automatically every day:
- halter
- bridle
- saddle
- picking feet
Instead of just doing it…
👉 ask your horse first
Then notice:
- What do they tell you?
- Do they hesitate? lean in? move away?
- And if they say “no”… can you accept that?
(No fixing. Just noticing.)
What did you notice? How did you feel if they said no? Drop it below 👇
