Have you ever snapped over something small and then wondered, Why did I react like that?

The backpack on the floor.
The socks no one can find.
The one more question at the end of a long day.

In this episode, Landy shares what training her wild Mustang yearling, Denny, is teaching her about stress, attunement, parenting, nervous system regulation, and the moment we mistake the “last thing” for the real problem.

Using Warwick Schiller’s concept of the 13 rabbits, Landy explores why people — and horses — don’t usually explode out of nowhere. There are almost always subtle signals first. A turned ear. A step away. A shorter fuse. A body already carrying too much.

This conversation bridges horse training, motherhood, perimenopause, emotional reactivity, and the reality that we are not the same person every day. Some days we have more capacity. Some days we are closer to our limit before the day even begins.

And when we learn to work with the horse, the child, the partner, and the self we actually have today, everything changes.
