The Law Of Diminishing Anxiety

Horsemanship, Training

I want to very briefly talk about the Law Of Diminishing Anxiety.

I should say to begin with that it is only a law because I say it is in my mind. However, I may be the only person on the blue planet in the solar system known as the Milky Way who considers this a law of horsemanship.

Becoming a Better Horse Person

Horsemanship

Over the years I have worked with a lot of people who are trying to better horse people. Some have made amazing changes in a short time. Some people make slow and plodding progress and others appear to be exactly where they were 10 or more years ago.

Feel Goes Two Ways

Communication, Behaviour

My point is that the hardest part of feel is feeling the language of the horse, and not simply presenting our intent to a horse through feel. We generally have more trouble reading feel than we do offering feel. We are pretty good at having our say, but not listening to horses having their say.

Education Versus Re-education

This principle is an important consideration when working any horse. We should always ask what does a horse understand by our feel? If it has no understanding we should consider approaching its education differently than if it has a faulty understanding.

How do we help a horse understand that even the hardest tasks we ask of it is not forever?

The Power of the Inside Rein

The inside rein is like the Swiss army knife of correctness when riding and training a horse.
