'If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.'

The first step is understanding your own energy. Your emotions, mindset, and physical presence influence your horse, so becoming aware of how you feel and what you’re projecting is crucial in creating a calm, confident relationship.

Your horse’s body language, reactions, and emotional state all communicate important information. By learning to tune into these signals, you can respond with empathy and clarity, helping your horse feel safe and confident.

The relationship between you and your horse is shaped by your interactions, energy, and mutual understanding. Developing this awareness ensures that you can guide your horse with trust and consistency.

The external environment plays a significant role in the energy between you and your horse. Understanding how external factors—like space, other people, or new surroundings—affect both you and your horse will help you manage your connection in any setting.
