After a brief hiatus, we're diving into a bit of everything in today's episode. First, I'll share a personal life update, discussing the busy summer months, managing multiple business ventures, and the challenges that come with it.

Next, we delve into the transitional stages of horsemanship, exploring the shift from traditional training methods to more science-based, rewards-focused approaches. We'll talk about the realism and effort required to change long-standing habits, both in ourselves and our horses, and the importance of patience and empathy in this journey.

Additionally, we'll discuss the unrealistic expectations humans often place on horses and how shifting our perspectives can lead to better treatment and understanding of these magnificent animals. From the way we house them to the demands we place on them, it's crucial to view their behavior through a horse-centric lens rather than a human-centric one.

Lastly, I'll touch on the importance of self-care, mental health, and maintaining a positive outlook despite the challenges we face. Whether you're in a transitional stage of your life or simply looking to better understand your horse, this episode aims to provide insights and support.
