Rambling from my desk this week for a change, but it’s just as much of a mess as usual! Enjoy!

There is a big difference between a horse who is a willing and interested participant in the training program and one who just reacts to stimulus. That, and many other things is what we’re chatting about today!

“…plus a bunch of other shit!” This episode was all over the place but lots of cool topics get covered! Enjoy!

It’s easier than ever to surround ourselves with people and content that echos back our own thoughts and opinions back at us, but this can impede our growth. This is what we are talking about this week.

This is surprisingly a very strong controversial subject in the equine community. But fear not I am not strongly for or against I’m just giving some information as to how to decide if its right for you and your horse.

Liberty work and having a light responsive horse go hand in hand and you can’t have one without the other. Thats what we are talking about i. Today’s episode of truck ramblings .

The mentality that we should aspire to fit into articles of clothing or jewelry rather than buy one that fit our body is something that we need to rid ourselves of. It’s so harmful to us and those around us. Thats what we’re chatting about this week.

Despite our complicated languages and large brains, humans are often terrible communicators. We get insulted when others come to us with issues and take other’s issues as personal affronts.

We fear rejection so don’t ask for help and we ignore precedent or the lack there of. We fear communication and boundaries thus we avoid both ourselves and when it comes from others.

We should be able to speak our truths to one-another without fear, and listen to others without judgment or insult.

Trick training is an excellent way to spent time with your horse when you are unable to work the, normally. This winter I am challenging my clients to choose at least one trick they want to teach their horse so that we can continue consistent lessons through the winter even if we don’t have access to an indoor arena. (Which most of my clients don’t!)
