• Episode 12: Why your horse doesn't need to be fixed

  In this episode I talk about something that I carry deeply in my heart. It's a message I wish every horse owner could feel with his heart,  and not just understand with their head.It’s this: “Your horse doesn't need to be fixed”.We live in a world that is very focused on problems and which is very goal orientated.  We are trained to see what’s wrong, what needs to be corrected and what needs to improve or change. And this way of thinking, often without us realizing, creeps into our relationship with our horse as well.But what if there is nothing wrong with your horse? What if your horse doesn’t need fixing, but understanding? When you look at your horse with the eyes of your heart, you begin to see something else. You can see the message behind what they’re doing. You can see communication behind the behavior.If you are ready to move beyond traditional problem-solving methods and embrace a deeper, more soulful partnership with your horse, this episode will offer you a fresh perspective and practical inspiration.For more free resources on building a true and natural connection with your horse, visit www.horsefulnesstraining.com⁠.Thank you for listening and for being part of this journey towards more connection, communication, and joy with your horse. Feel free to drop a comment/question, and let me know what you think about this episode.With love,-- Karine

• Episode 11: Horse training myth #5 - "Horses need to know “who’s boss” otherwise they will be difficult to train”

  In this final episode of our 5-part myth-busting series, we’re tackling another harmful idea that still circulates in the horse world: “Your horse needs to know who’s boss, otherwise they’ll be difficult to train.” This dominance-based belief is rooted in a misunderstanding of how horses lead and interact within a herd. Many people still think that there is only 1 leading mare, who dominates the others and is always in charge. But observation and science show that leadership in horses is flexible, shared, and based on trust, not rank. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why being “the boss” can create resistance, tension, or robotic behavior in horses.  What it looks like when a horse truly chooses to cooperate, not from fear, but from trust. Why building a natural bond is the first and most essential step in any training.This episode will inspire you to train through connection, not control.
