Is Your Horse Telling You Something You’re Missing?

As a horseman, I’ve come to realize that tension, resistance, or reactivity in our horses are not just challenges to overcome—they’re messages, subtle or loud, trying to tell us something deeper.

It’s not always about what we ask of our horses, but how well we listen. Through my years of working with horses and their humans, I’ve learned that understanding these signals can transform the way we connect with them.

That’s why I’m inviting you to join me for a FREE Virtual Clinic where we’ll dive into the root causes of these behaviors. Together, we’ll explore practical techniques to build trust, balance, and genuine connection with your horse.

This webinar is for you if you’ve ever wondered:

Why does my horse act out in certain situations?
How can I help my horse feel calmer and more willing?
What small changes can I make to deepen our bond?
This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about creating lasting solutions that work for you and your horse.

Register now—spaces are limited and filling quickly.

I look forward to connecting with you, answering your questions, and sharing insights that can make a real difference in your horsemanship journey.

See you there,
Josh Nichol

P.S. Can’t make it live? No problem—register anyway, and you’ll receive access to the recording!

Feel free to share this event with your friends who might also benefit from this unique opportunity to strengthen their relationship with their horse !!!

"True connection with a horse begins when we meet their needs, not just our goals.”

12/02/2024

This December, join us for a series of webinars and videos to deepen your connection and balance with your horse. We’ll explore creating a natural circle of connection, using the halter as a supportive tool, and the importance of poll rotation for proper release.

To close the year, Josh will host a live Q&A Christmas Gathering—a time to reflect, share experiences, and celebrate our growth together.

Stay tuned for weekly emails with access to these sessions and the live event link!

It’s 20 years today with my beautiful wife! I honestly can’t believe that it’s been that long and am so thankful for every day I get to spend with you on this earth! You are an amazing wife, mother and friend! Love you so much!

In November, I’ll be focusing on meeting a horse’s needs. When it comes down to it, whether it’s horses or people, having our needs met is critical to living a peaceful life. Each horse is unique, so the ability to identify its specific needs is crucial to your success.

We’ll focus on recognizing what’s missing and learning how to build a relationship centred on meeting those needs, ultimately transforming the behaviours we’re experiencing!
