We all know that confidence is one of the biggest determining factors of success, both for ourselves and our horses. However, the path to building confidence is unique to each individual. When it comes to horses, not every horse will respond to our signals in the same way. That's why it is important for us, as trainers, to be aware of these individual tendencies so that we can adapt our communication in a way that promotes a maximum level of confidence from our horses. On this episode, I’m sharing some examples of how I’ve had to adapt my communication style to help certain horses overcome extremely reactive tendencies and build confidence in unfamiliar situations. Additionally, I'm sharing a few words of encouragement for those who are rebuilding their own confidence after time off or recovering from an injury, as they venture back into the competitive arena.
