One of the things that I am developing a reputation for is my skepticism about the growing trend to label a training method or a principle as being “scientifically proven”.
I have described the goal of teaching a horse to let go of an idea and then teaching it to accept a new idea as being fundamental to achieving “oneness”.
In my view, we should compete only when we feel we have had a good day because we spent it with our horse, even if we came last. I suspect competition has ruined more horses and more human/horse relationships than most of us want to admit.
I want to begin the year with a tribute. It’s a tribute to my wife, my partner, my colleague, my best friend. Her name is Michèle Jedlicka and we have been married for 20 years.
