I know this might be a strange title from someone who works using natural horsemanship methods.

I've come to this conclusion from working with many different horses and creating these problems in my own horse in the past.

In this podcast I talk about the issues that natural horsemanship can cause, and how to prevent them.

Natural horsemanship is largely a training methods designed to train effective working horses on ranches, meaning there are gaps when it comes to training horses using natural horsemanship methods for English riding. This isn't to say it cannot and should not be used when training horses for English riding, it just means that adjustments need to be made to the methods to suit English riding. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and with the adjustments made, natural horsemanship, in my opinion, is the best way to train well rounded, relaxed and happy horses across the disciplines.
