This weeks episode we talk about how it can be easy to end up with accidentally having our horse shut down with traditional methods of training and even more so the more experienced you are. We share with you some tips on how to keep your horse engaged, willing and consenting throughout the training process so that we are working with mentally, emotionally and physically sound horses that can communicate their needs to you.

We explain how we use the process of consent to more deeply trouble shoot problem behaviours and share a couple of rules to keep our ego in check to ensure we aren't drilling our horses to sourness.

This week's episode of First Do No Harm we delve into how the Equestrian Movement cofounders Sarah Gallagher and Katie Boniface came together with a mutual passion for working with our horses holistically to support their mental, physical and emotional soundness. A common theme in our discussions that come up in our fb community "The Stronger Bond community" is being uncomfortable with traditional training styles that demand submission. 

I talk about not liking the person and trainer I had to be to be a "successful" professional in the industry and the journey we've been on together with our stronger bond community members to build a strong relationship and connection with our horses first and then cue in the tricks, not the other way around.
