Sometimes training horses is similar to watching paint dry. You have to wait until they are ready. It’s not flashy, it isn’t instagram worthy. And it isn’t overnight.
Building trust and teaching a horse to regulate their nervous system doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the small things. You have horse A who is barely holding their s**t together, and only doing so because I am using my energy to keep the tension below the breaking point. Turn into horse B, who stepped right up to the mounting block for this ride without having to move away. (This statement of itself is bigger than anything else.)
