S3 | 1. The Bravery Myth: Why Pushing Through Fear Breaks Trust With Your Horse (and What Real Courage Looks Like)


Listen Later

If you've ever been told to "just get back on" after a fall, to "be braver" when you feel afraid, or to "push your horse through it," this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Felicity Davies unpacks The Bravery Myth - a powerful look at why traditional ideas of courage and control often backfire for both horse and rider. You'll learn how forcing yourself or your horse through fear can actually breaks trust and create anxiety, and what to do instead to rebuild confidence, safety, and connection from the ground up.

Through stories from real clients and her own experience as a horsewoman and mentor, Felicity explores: 🐴 Why pushing through fear disconnects sensitive horses and riders 🌿 How nervous-system awareness and co-regulation build true confidence 💫 Practical steps to rebuild safety and communication with your horse ✨ The difference between performative bravery and authentic leadership

Whether you're a returning rider, a compassionate trainer, or simply longing to feel calm and connected with your horse again, this episode will help you release guilt, trust your intuition, and redefine what real courage looks like in horsemanship.

If this episode resonates, explore The Field - Felicity's 3-month mentorship experience that guides equestrians to rebuild confidence, connection, and two way communication with their horses from the ground up.
