The top questions Powerfully Connected Equestrians ask their horses...
Have you ever wondered why your horse does or does not (insert your own choice of action)?
This is actually a very common thread on many horse groups we see, whether it is why wont my horse relax, how can I get my horse to stand still at the mounting block, or why does my horse paw at the ground.
But what if I give you some different questions to ponder...
🦄 Is your horse positively engaged in learning?
🦄 Are they seeking answers?
🦄 How are you motivating them to stay engaged in communication with you?
🦄 What do they like?
🦄 What don't they like?
🦄 What lights them up?
🦄 What shuts them down?
🦄 How long does it take them to process an ask?
🦄 How do they liked to be asked?
🦄 What are their triggers?
🦄 What makes them scared?
🦄 What builds their confidence?
🦄 How do they test boundaries?
🦄 What damages their trust and creates little tears in your relationship with them?
