This video will show you an entire session Karen has with Teo. She works to build his confidence in an area of the property where he is often tense and fearful. In a world of 'quick fixes', it is important to see the reality of how an exercise like this can go in real time. Students of the Habits For Excellent Horsemanship course will likely notice how Karen embodies the habits of Partnership, Timing, Feel, and Sense of Humor throughout.
You will see Teo switch from calm and confident to nervous and unsure. You will see him hit a threshold where his tendency is to freeze or turn and leave. Most importantly, you will see what she does to help him take the time he needs while keeping him communicative. This video is a good demonstration of the type of leader you need to be for insecure horses.
This video is great for anyone with a horse who gets nervous in his surroundings.
