In this episode I’ll talk about frustration. It’s an emotion we all have experienced at some point or another. I’ll share some insights into it, I’ll talk about why we want to learn how to manage it, but I’ll also talk about how it can sometimes serve us.
In this episode I talk about the dangers of comparing ourselves to others. For some, comparison can inspire and energize, but for so many students it only serves to discourage and deflate. I’ll share my thoughts on this dynamic and offer some solutions.
In this episode I will talk about anticipation vs assumption. I’ll look at how we can use consistency and variety in an artful way to achieve the result we want from our horses. I’ll share some very specific examples of exercises you can do to create a state of readiness that is so important in our equine athletes.
This is a recording of an interview I did with Dr. Jenifer Zeligs as part of a Happy Horse Interview Series. Jenifer is the author of Animal Training 101 and has worked with a wide range of exotic animals as well as horses. She currently works with Sea Lions. I think you will love her insights and educated perspective on this subject!
