S1 E5: But it says ‘horse’ on the label…

It is so easy to fall into the trap of assuming that because it says horse on the label, or comes from a saddlery, or produce store, that your horse will know what to do with, whatever the thing is. Especially if you believe that your horse had some life experience before it came to be with you.This episode could be a super short one, where I just tell you that your horse DID NOT get the memo that they are supposed to know about things we humans have created for them, and that for all the things, to get a reliable response from the horse we need to go through a training process.Cool, now you know what to do right? Shorted podcast episode in history… just joking, we’ll unpack this some more. In this episode I discuss:the common pitfall of assuming your horse knows what to doexamples of where it’s easy to assume our horses just knowthe need for a training processwhy a training process done by someone else (ie, previous owner or a trainer) won’t necessarily translate across to youwhat to do right now about it Our links mentioned this episode:  Sign-up to our email listStart Your Engines course+workshopAbbey's Run Equestrian websiteAbbey's Run Equestrian on Facebook Thank you to Matthew Bliss for podcast production & consultation.
