The Powerfully Connected Equestrian Team

Are you trying to build a beautiful, deep connection with your horse that allows you to work together in harmony, happiness and for the health of each other?

We can not be that team with our horse just because we work together. 

We become that team because we both have faith, trust and confidence in each other. 

When we are using holistic horse training skills, some of our key values are:

  • secure attachment (does your horse feel safe to be vulnerable around you ie. relax); and

  • psychological safety (are you creating an environment your horse feels safe to learn and engage in)

If we want to create safe, kind horses that want to look after us, these are our foundations to help ourselves ask: 

Are my actions in alignment with these values?

Picking a training method that works for you, your horse and your overall team dynamics can sometimes feel like wading through murky waters, which is why I return again and agian to this question.

Do you need help to become the Powerfully Connected Equestrian Team?
