2021/03/10

Today’s podcast is on the subject of thoughts that rob joy from our horse adventures. This can apply to anything you decide to do with your horse. Trail riding. Taking a riding lesson. Even going out by yourself to work your own horse. The question is specifically about showing but I assure you the mental side of this conversation is happening in every interaction you have. Clearly identifying thoughts and feelings can be challenging…and for me I tend to learn it best…backward. Ouch.

I discuss the overall issue as well as action steps that can be taken.
