12 Ways to Have a More Relaxed Session with Your Horse

Have you ever had a session with your horse where it feels like you’re walking on eggshells… everything is tense, your horse is worried, and you feel like the slightest thing can set them off? 😬🐎

I’ve been there too, and that’s exactly why I recorded this latest episode of The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast: 12 Ways to Have a More Relaxed Session with Your Horse. 

I’ve recognised that there are specific things I do on days when everything feels much more relaxed, and I’d love to share them with you! My hope is that you and your horse can also feel more at ease, have more fun, and ultimately get better results from your time together.

Relaxation isn’t just a "nice to have"… it’s fundamental to great horsemanship. 

When you and your horse are relaxed, everything improves:
✔️ Your connection deepens
✔️ Learning becomes easier for you both
✔️ It’s safer for both of you
✔️ Athletic maneuvers and performance work improve
✔️ And most importantly… it just feels better and is more enjoyable for you both! 

You can expect to gain valuable insights on how to set up your sessions for success so that you and your horse can be relaxed and happy!  I’ve noticed a huge difference in myself and my own horses when I incorporate these techniques.

This episode also kicks off SEASON 2 of The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast! 🎉🎉 

I’d love to hear your thoughts after you listen! 🎧💬 Let me know one thing you’ll try from these 12 tips in your next session!

I hope you enjoy the show! ❤️🐴
