Staying Below their Threshold
Stillness isn’t always calmness or lack of fear with horses.
When horses are shut down, stress or fear can be so overwhelming that they just a stop doing anything.
When they are in this state, it’s physically impossible for them to learn the good things we ask of them!
The key to working with these horses is to avoid having them shut down in the first place.
Stay below their threshold and make it a positive journey! What’s the rush?
