Developing Teamwork with your horse

There is forever and always a power imbalance with your horse.

Whether you like it or not or whether or not it feels like it, everything in the equestrian world has stacked the power of the horse human relationship in favour of the horse.

By not allowing the horse autonomy, the ability to consent and have some say in what happens to them and then punishing them for reactive behaviours that are a result of what is happening to them is akin to gaslighting.

At Equestrian Movement we use holistic training tools that focus on congruence, reciprocity, willingness and engagement in the activity first and then shaping the behaviours for what we want to do with them. You can learn more via our free connection training
