This is Part 2 of a Two Part Conversation. Last week we followed up on our previous conversation with Michaela Hempen on horse welfare. Dominique shared some useful resources and I shared a goat story.

The goat story leads to a discussion of when and how to step in should you encounter rough handling. It’s never a comfortable situation, or an easy decision.

To provide a counterbalance to what can be a difficult subject, we switched gears to talk about training principles, rope handling and the t’ai chi wall.
