Training vs. Building Relationship – Part 1: Heart Connection with Horses and God

In this insightful episode of Horses and Holy Moments, hosts Ingela Larsson Smith and Corrie Sepcich explore the profound difference between simply training a horse and truly building a relationship. Ingela explains how horses read our hearts, sense our nervous system, and respond to the presence and peace we carry.

Through practical examples and spiritual parallels, they discuss why genuine connection requires choice, mutual trust, and a “we” mindset—moving together as one, rather than controlling behavior.

This episode also draws a beautiful comparison to our walk with Jesus, who leads us with gentleness and invites us into relationship, not rigid rules.
