In this video, Karen takes a big picture view of different types of sessions you can do with your horse. You can focus on teaching them something specific, or exercising their bodies, letting them have time to reset, or you can give them more exposure to different things and situations. She uses the analogy of school that has different classes like Math Class or Gym Class and it also has Recess and Field Trips. This video is for EVERYONE and it will help you get even better at making plans and setting intentions for your time with your horse based on the outcomes you are looking for.
Karen also has a podcast on this subject: Horse Training In Harmony, Episode 159: Horse School
