The Smarter Way to Help a Stiff or Uneven Horse
Description
Trying to “fix” stiffness, crookedness, or other movement issues often creates more guarding. In this episode, learn why physically supporting what your horse already does can help the nervous system feel safe, release habitual tension, improve movement, and deepen trust.
Applying this concept can change your relationship with your horse. I hope you give this episode a listen.
