If You Lunge to Calm Your Horse… You Need This Episode!

Description

Why lunging to ‘take the edge off’ doesn’t work for horses...in this episode I’m breaking down one of the biggest myths in the horse world: that lunging a fresh, spooky or tense horse will magically calm them down.

 We talk about:

  • why lunging often increases tension
  • how adrenaline affects your horse’s behaviour
  • what to do instead to create connection, calm and confidence
  • simple groundwork that regulates your horse without exhausting them
  • nervous system resets for both horse and rider

Perfect for riders who deal with spooky horses, anxiety, loss of confidence, rushing, over-reactivity, and pre-ride nerves.

Subscribe, share, and stay tuned — My new book...The Equestrian’s Guide to Confidence & Connection releases on 9th December. Eeeek!
