In this lesson, Paula Curtis talks about the importance of teaching a horse to come to the rider with energy and focus while respecting personal space. She explains that she wants the horse to come to her with some pizzazz, showing enthusiasm, supported by the energy she communicates through the line. However, once the horse reaches her, Paula wants them to stop, respect her space, and bring their energy back without losing the liveliness.

Paula also discusses her awareness of each horse’s individual tendencies. For example, this particular horse is very oral and likes to explore with his mouth. To manage this, Paula chooses to feed him out of a pan instead of her hand, preventing him from developing more oral behavior around her.

As the horse’s attention drifts to something else in the environment, Paula gently redirects him by reaching down, asking him to lower his head and relax. This simple act helps the horse refocus and stay engaged with Paula. If the horse looks away again, Paula remains calm and uses it as an opportunity to bring his attention back to her.

By creating this consistent pattern, Paula helps the horse understand that staying focused on the task at hand is important while also teaching him how to calm himself when needed.

Horses have shown me that just being with them is all the therapy I need. Their quiet presence, steady rhythm, and unconditional trust bring a sense of calm and peace that nothing else can provide. Whether we’re riding, grooming, or simply sitting together, those moments of connection heal in ways words cannot describe.

They remind me that sometimes, the best kind of therapy is simply being present and allowing the bond to speak for itself. With every touch, every shared breath, my horse helps me find balance and clarity.

Because of the horse, I’ve learned that true healing comes from the simplest of moments, spent together in trust and calm.

In this lesson, Paula Curtis shares how she uses grooming as a way to connect with her horse and observe his responses. As she brushes, she keeps a close eye on his facial expressions, noticing when his nose softens and when he seems to enjoy the attention. These subtle cues show her that the horse is comfortable and engaged in the moment.

Paula emphasizes that, during grooming, it's important to pay attention to areas the horse particularly enjoys. When she identifies these spots, she takes the time to spend a little extra attention there, reinforcing positive experiences and building a stronger bond with the horse.

By tuning into the horse’s reactions, Paula ensures that the grooming session becomes an opportunity for connection and trust, making it a rewarding experience for both horse and handler.

In this lesson, Paula Curtis discusses the importance of teaching the horse to bend and relax, especially when things become exciting or emotional. She explains how she uses gentle pressure at the girth area while also raising her energy to signal the horse to bend. This clear differentiation between pressure and energy helps the horse understand how to respond in a calm and controlled way.

Paula highlights that, in more emotionally charged situations, it’s essential to be able to bend the horse to a halt and help them relax. By consistently building this skill into training sessions, she ensures the horse understands that they should bring their energy down, focus, and remain calm.

This practice not only helps the horse learn to manage excitement, but it also creates a more relaxed, responsive horse, making future sessions smoother and more enjoyable for both horse and rider.

Horses have shown me that joy is found in the simplest moments. A soft muzzle, a handful of hay, and the quiet gratitude between friends. It’s in these small, everyday acts that the truest connection is built. When we slow down and share these moments with our horses, we discover that the greatest joys often come from the most humble experiences.

They remind me that true happiness doesn’t need to be extravagant; it’s in the peace of the present moment and the bond we share.

Because of the horse, I’ve learned that joy isn’t always loud. It’s often felt in the quiet, shared moments that fill the heart with gratitude.

In this lesson, Paula Curtis discusses how distractions are a natural part of a horse's life and training. She explains that there will always be moments when something captures the horse’s attention, and it’s important for the rider to be able to redirect that attention back to the task at hand. Paula doesn’t see these moments as a “don’t look over there” situation, but rather as an opportunity to teach the horse how to focus and stay present.

She reflects on the positive aspects of these distractions, highlighting that it’s a great chance to reinforce the horse’s ability to relax, lower its head, and stay present with the rider. By calmly bringing the horse’s attention back to her, Paula fosters a sense of calm and patience, creating a stronger bond and a more focused horse.

This approach encourages the horse to remain relaxed and attentive, even in the face of external distractions, which will benefit their overall training.

In this lesson, Paula Curtis focuses on sending the horse out and guiding him back, paying careful attention to the positioning of his feet. She starts by asking the horse to step back, ensuring the weight shifts to the hindquarters before asking him to step over. This movement is key to maintaining balance and control during the exercise.

Paula praises the improvement in the horse’s response, noting that his movement off was much better this time. Once the horse is in motion, Paula gently guides him to follow her in, reinforcing the connection between them. She then asks for a quick stop, testing the horse’s ability to halt and prepare for the next movement.

The final step is to ask the horse to back up, ensuring that he remains responsive and aligned with her cues. This exercise helps the horse understand the importance of balance, responsiveness, and clear communication.

Horses have taught me that they feel energy, not words. It’s in the way they respond to our emotions, our intentions, and the subtle shifts in our body language. They don't need us to speak. They sense our energy and meet us where we are.

They show me that communication goes beyond what we say. It’s about what we feel, what we project, and how we show up in each moment. The connection we share with them is built on trust, intuition, and the energy we give.

Because of the horse, I’ve learned that true connection is felt, not spoken, and it’s our energy that communicates the most.

In this lesson, Paula Curtis emphasizes the importance of being aware of where your horse’s mind is and what they’re focused on before asking for any specific actions. She explains that by tuning into the horse’s thoughts and energy, you can better plan your training session to meet both your needs and the horse's state of mind.

Before giving any commands, Paula takes a moment to tip the horse's attention toward her, ensuring that the horse is fully present and aware of her. This simple step helps establish a connection, setting the foundation for a more successful and engaged training session.

By being mindful of the horse’s mental state, Paula is able to adjust her approach, ensuring that the session flows smoothly and that both she and the horse are ready to move forward in harmony.

In this lesson, Jack Curtis teaches how to use the natural movement of the horse's head and shoulders to guide the horse into a better position. Jack explains that when the horse’s head drops to the right, it creates the perfect moment to bring the outside shoulder around. By riding straight and subtly wiggling his left leg, Jack encourages the horse to move with his left ear drawn back, which in turn brings the right shoulder around.

Jack emphasizes that the key is timing and following the natural rhythm of the horse’s body. By feeling when it’s the right moment, the rider can use their hands to gently guide the shoulder over, ensuring a fluid and responsive movement. This connection between the rider's cues and the horse’s natural actions helps create a more harmonious ride.

Horses have shown me that true strength is quiet and unwavering. It’s not about loud declarations or forceful actions, but about the steady, consistent presence that never falters. Whether in the calm, patient gaze of a horse or the gentle power beneath them, I’ve learned that strength is often most evident in silence, in the way we stand firm and steady no matter the challenges.

They remind me that the most powerful strength comes from within, from a place of calm assurance and quiet resilience.

Because of the horse, I’ve learned that true strength is not shown in force, but in the grace with which we remain grounded and unwavering.
