36: Struggling with Your Horse's Contact


Listen Later

If you are struggling with your horse's frame, steering or posture because your horse is pulling your arms out of their sockets, won't settle into the contact, grinds its teeth, chomps at the bit, throws its head, gets its tongue over the bit, over-bends, avoids the bit it is heavy or hard in the mouth, leaning on the bit, avoiding the bit, being resistant, chomping the bit, putting the tongue over the bit or just won't go on the bit - you need to listen to this podcast!
Shelley discusses how she has just released a new course called "Foundation of Contact & Connection".  The course outlines the key responses a horse must understand in order for you to build and nurture a quality contact and connection with a horse.
Kat talks about her journey with Roger and how she has improved his contact and connection by finding the gaps in his foundation and addressing soundness issues.
This podcast will reveal that there is a lot you can do to improve your horse’s acceptance of the bridle than just changing bits,  bridles, tightening nosebands, shortening the reins, or using draw reins!  There is complexity it to it but Shelley has a way of demystifying it and making it simple and achievable for everyone.
