53. Why Your Horse Isn’t Progressing: The Missing Piece of Awareness

If your horse isn’t progressing, it might not be a training problem.In this episode, I’m joined by dressage trainer Elaine Hayes of Partnership Dressage to explore why true Awareness is the foundation of sustainable performance. We talk about what we’re actually taught in the horse world — and what we’re not — including how behavior can be a clue, how pain and discomfort are often misinterpreted, and how domestic horse-keeping impacts training outcomes.This conversation kicks off Seed 1: Awareness from Reconnect, Rebuild, and Ride with Heart — because before you fix anything, you have to see clearly.If you’ve ever felt like something wasn’t adding up in your riding, this episode is for you.Find Elaine here: https://partnershipdressage.comFind the ECVM support group here:https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1aUFBfdUpK/Get the FREE Awareness workshop www.equusenlightened.comFind me on social media as @equusenlightened.  Join the Horse and Rider Lab on Skool.
