I want my beginner horse to learn to have confidence and feel untroubled by following the pressure in contrast to going away from pressure or being sent somewhere in response to pressure.
I try to watch as many horse people working with horses as my busy life permits. In particular, I am always interested in observing other professionals to see what they do that maybe I could adopt or do better.
While MBPS is a medical term used to describe a condition involving a child, I suspect a similar (albeit undiagnosed) syndrome exists among some horse owners by substituting the child with a horse.
For this post, I want to briefly talk about one of the really important lessons that Luke taught me. That lesson stays with me today and I incorporate it into my clinics with almost every lesson.
