Elevate Your Horsemanship! Start Your 7-Day Free Trial Now! In this episode, we talk about cognitive dissonance. Unfortunately, we see it every day in the horse industry.We start by exploring where it shows up in our lives - our self-care and fitness routines. Things we rush that we know would be better if we were present. Then we move into exploring how it shows up in our interactions with our horses.Why do we so often fail to to better for our horses even when we know better?Is it procrastination? Or are societal expectations getting in the way?How do we honor both our needs and our horse’s needs without losing ourselves in guilt or pressure?Why does striving to do better (even when it’s messy) matter so much for the horse-human bond?This is an honest conversation full of self-reflection and reminders to slow down, tune in, and strive to do better.Hit play now.
