One of the most common challenges horse owners face is trying to figure out how to truly connect with their horses. We often end up frustrated, feeling like we’re not on the same page with our equine partners. Many think the answer lies in new equipment or harsher techniques, but the truth is that horsemanship isn't about force—it’s about communication through feel. This is the heart of Collaborative Horsemanship, and it's why I created The Five Key Components to Transforming Your Horsemanship mini-course.
Why Feel Matters More Than Words
Horses don’t communicate with language like we do—they operate off feel. A lot of the frustration we experience with our horses stems from relying too heavily on what we’re saying or trying to control, rather than focusing on what we’re feeling. This course emphasizes getting your horse to feel of you, which leads to a more willing, soft, and responsive partner.
Imagine how much better your rides would be if your horse responded to the slightest shift in your seat, the softest touch of your hand. That’s what happens when you create true feel between you and your horse, and it’s what I aim to teach in this mini-course.
What Are the 5 Keys?
Each of the five keys in this course is designed to help you understand the foundational elements of Collaborative Horsemanship and how to use them to unlock a more connected, trusting partnership with your horse. In The Five Key Components to Transforming Your Horsemanship course, I’ve boiled down everything I’ve learned into five essential keys that will reshape your relationship with your horse:
Acting with Accuracy: This principle ensures you make clear, effective decisions that leave no room for confusion.
Meaningful Groundwork: This is the foundation of communication and respect between you and your horse.
The Soft Feel: Horses respond to the smallest signals, and mastering softness is key to harmony.
The S-A-T Method: It’s a streamlined process to help you and your horse stay on track.
Consistency: It’s not just about what you do, but how consistently you do it.
