As a dear student Bid Webb reflected in a daze about her changed partnership so aptly put it, “It’s not the little things, it’s the BIG things IN the little things.”
We were chatting at the end of our deep-dive clinic into the questions that are on the minds of many a horse-lover:
“How do I reach that part of my horse
he seems to guard from me or hold inside?
Why does he do that?”
“How can I better communicate
without relying on escalating pressure
to get what I really want?”
“Why does my horse not truly trust me?”
“Can I have and be a true partner
and also… um… STILL be the one in control?”
Adjusting even one seemingly small particle of feel can make a huge difference for your horse – with one key detail: the change must inspire a meaningful shift in the horse.
Right. With the wisdom to know the difference. This can be the deeper, less obvious part!
