🎤 NEW POD 💥 EP234: REINTRODUCTION: HAPPY ATHLETE TRAINING SCALE
Enjoy this short excerpt
For the FULL episode go to: https://dressagenaturally.net/podcast/
Or search for Horse Training In Harmony Episode 234 wherever you listen.
This episode is a reintroduction of one of the most important concepts I teach, the Happy Athlete Training Scale.
This is the framework for ethical training with a prioritization on your horse’s well-being. This training scale is ALWAYS in the back of my mind as I assess my horses and make my day-to-day and moment-to-moment training decisions. It’s simply my best, most simple description (so far) for explaining how to make those decisions.
