...och visst är det väldigt tänkvärt!

Put your horse’s needs FIRST. You put them before what YOU want to do or accomplish, but you start by asking your horse to do something because that is what leads to the conversation or recognizing that you have to attend to your horse’s need. Know also that those needs are usually of an emotional nature – fear, trust issues, boredom, etc.

Taking the time to do this will have an amazing effect on your relationship because your horse will feel that you made his feelings important. The next time it will be way better – everything will be better actually because your horse’s trust, confidence, respect for and belief in you will improve. And if it’s not better, it may mean you have to do it a few times before your horse believes you, especially if there is a long standing pattern of arguing with your horse.

So that’s how it comes back to you. It is YOU that will need to overcome your judgement about your horse’s action, your impatience, your direct line thinking and making your agenda more important than your horse’s needs. When you learn to do that consistently and without having to fight your own emotions, the changes in you will be felt by your horse… and you’ll make it up the next rung on the ladder of becoming the kind of leader your horse deserves. It will also increase your confidence because the more a horse trusts you, the more trustworthy he becomes too.

Becoming a good horseman is a journey in personal development!
