We want everything the same from left to right. We want every maneuver to be just as fluid from one side as the other. But do we ever stop to consider why a horse might be struggling on one side? Usually that's a balance, strength, flexibility or proprioception issue - not a training issue. And yet trainers (myself included unfortunately) have been known to over pressure horses in the effort of building symmetry in the horse's responses. Maybe instead they just needed a little extra help from a...2022-03-2139 minThe Horseman's MindsetNoticing your ActivationUpdate on recent happenings and I walk you through a groundwork session on a training horse and how I reframed my own expectations of what that session would be and how I would fix a connection problem.

We don't get to wallow in self-pity and at the same time expect greatness from our equine friends.

The Horseman's MindsetFacing your FearFear can feel like an impossible barrier to your goals with your horse.

The Horseman's MindsetThe Freeze ResponseThe freeze response is an often overlooked side of horse behavior. Horses that have learned to go into freeze get labeled "unpredictable", "counterfeit", "dishonest" etc... when actually it is an involuntary neurological response to fear, flooding, pain, overstimulation, confusion. Your horse can't control whether it goes into freeze mode. But you can learn how to recognize the signs and change your perspective on this tricky defense response! In this episode Ashley talks about the first couple of times she saw a freeze response in a horse and how she started to recognize the signs - the hard way.
