Chatting about: Don’t Fight Reality…

In this episode we talk about how working without tools is a great time to accept the reality of the horse’s state of mind. In each moment the horse will either have: a good idea, a bad idea, or no idea at all. If they have no ideas at all, the door is open for you to have an idea for them, if they are having a bad idea (pushing against you or pulling away from you) this is a reality you probably can’t change in the moment it is happening, all you can do is stay out of the way and learn something from it, so you can do better next time you see a similar situation brewing.
