🐴 GET GOOD HORSEMANSHIP TIP 27.

✨ Use your hands to open, more than you close them.

Our hands are one of the clearest ways we communicate with the horse. They can create softness, space, and understanding OR restriction, tension, and confusion.

Way back in the past, I was often too quick to pull, too quick to shorten the rope, too quick to bring the horse into my space. What I thought was control was often just me getting in the way.

Soft, wise, and thoughtful hands stay ready to release, allow, and guide - not just take and hold.

Because when the horse feels they have space, they’re far more likely to choose to stay with you.

So this week, pay a little more attention to your hands.

👉 In May when I am back, we’ll go deeper - with themed weeks to help you really focus and improve in areas like this.

❓Question:

Where could you Get Good at allowing more, instead of taking more, with your hands?
