August 11, 2021 FDNH 29: Does my horse like me?
Does your horses response to you feel off? Does it feel like they don't like you?
Looking for our horses eye contact and facial expressions can be a good indicator to understanding what they feel about us. If they like us, if they enjoy what we are doing with them and to them. But if you're already recognising that your horse isn't stoked to hang out with you how do you go about being a more pleasurable experience for your horse?

About First Do No Harm

#FDNHPodcast is an in depth discussion with equestrian trainers and professionals dedicated to making horse training happen for the horse not to the horse. We discuss how to reduce harm in our horses training environment and how to support our horses mental, emotional and physical well being so that we have horses that enjoy learning and ask to be ridden.
