How many times in life do we make decisions based on fear? Whether it is the fear of failure, fear of judgment, fear of uncertainty, or another hesitation, there are moments in life where we may be scared to take the necessary next step forward. Our horses are very intelligent beings that have similar hesitations when they are put in new or uncomfortable situations. In this episode, I am sharing some advice on how to help your horses face their fears and develop confidence outside of their comfort zone.

This week , we’re diving into the important distinction between coaching and training. While training a horse often focuses on the physical aspects—what they can do and how they respond—coaching goes deeper, engaging the emotional and mental components of horsemanship. A great coach doesn’t just teach; they lead, communicate, and encourage, helping both horse and rider develop confidence, understanding, and trust. In this episode, I'm sharing some parallels between coaching and horsemanship, emphasizing how a thoughtful, patient approach can create lasting progress in and out of the arena.

By nature, horses come with certain traits and characteristics, some of which are developed early on in their foundation, and others that are purely genetic. As a trainer, it’s important to recognize the difference between foundational traits and genetic traits in horses and understand how they shape the way we train.
