How to work safely with horses?

It's not about not being scared. Not being scared is being naive to the potential of our horses to injure us.

It's about not showing your horse that you are scared. Asking your horse to be confident and brave for you and while you are scared is expecting too much of them.

There are 4 pillars we run through inside the Holistic Horse Handling Method that focus on creating confidence and help us both feel safer:

  1. Relaxation

  2. Compassionate Leadership

  3. Communication & Congruence

  4. Emotional Agility

Watch this training as we discuss safe options for working with the horses flight response and how to address fear so that you can work confidently with your horse towards your goal.
