Published 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
In this episode, we dive into the power of pausing in horse training...one of the most transformative, overlooked tools for building connection, clarity and confidence with your horse.
Inside, we explore:
- why horses learn during the pause, not the cue
- how to use stillness to create softness
- the neuroscience of processing time in horse training
- mini-pauses vs full processing pauses
- how pausing helps anxious or over-reactive horses
- how riders can use pausing to regulate themselves, too
If you want calmer rides, clearer communication and a more responsive horse, this one’s for you.
