Episode 6: Horse training myth #1 - "Be your horse's leader"

In the upcoming five episodes of the Horsefulness Training Podcast, I'll be talking about the top five myths and misconceptions in horse training. We'll also see how these misconceptions affect the relationship between horses and humans. In this episode, I take a closer look at Myth #1: the idea that you have to be your horse’s leader. This is something I hear often, but it’s based on a misunderstanding of how leadership actually works in a group of horses. I explain how this can negatively affect the way we work with our horses. You will also hear how, in Horsefulness Training, especially during Liberty Connection Training, we shift naturally between guiding our horse and following their lead. It is a two-way communication, built on mutual respect and trust. In the next episode, I will talk about Myth #2: "If you want to be your horse’s leader, you need to be higher in rank". I hope you will join me for that one as well. And, if you enjoyed this episode, I’d love it if you subscribed and left a review. That way, you help others discover the Horsefulness Training philosophy too. Take care, connect with your horse, and keep making a difference in your horse’s life. Because your horse only lives once.
