Phil’s Podcast with thoughts from the clinic here on 10/22-10-23!

When training a horse, it can be easy to adopt a results-oriented instead of process-oriented mentality. When we focus on short-term results in our training sessions, we tend to lose sight of the main purpose of our training, which is to establish long-term foundational gains.

In this episode, I'm sharing some stories from our recent clinics about the benefits of process-oriented training and how giving your horse a job can help build their foundation for long-term success.
