Adjusting Your Training Routine in the Summer Months

Every season requires something different from both you and your horse. In the summer months, heat, humidity, and longer days can take a physical and mental toll, which means your training program has to adapt. In this episode, I talk about why listening to your horse is more important than sticking to a rigid schedule, how to recognize when physical fatigue is turning into mental defensiveness, and why it's important to prioritize building trust and confidence over simply adding more repetitions when you're training in extreme heat and challenging conditions.
