104. Real horsemanship starts, when ego ends
Send us a textIn this short but powerful episode, I share my thoughts on how ego quietly slips into our work with horses and how everything changes when we let it go.From the need to look good or rush progress, to the subtle ways we take things personally, this episode explores what it really means to be present and truthful with our horses.Because the moment we stop trying to prove ourselves... the horse finally has space to trust us. “You can’t fake presence - they feel the truth.”“Every horse offers a lesson, but we must be willing to learn first.”“The horse we dream of is hidden under the human we must become.”Listen now and rediscover what real horsemanship feels like when the ego steps aside ♥Midway through today’s episode, you’ll also hear about Excellent Horse, a brand I love sharing with you – they’ve been keeping horses happy and healthy for over 35 years and mine the last 5 years.Support the showThanks for listening!
