It’s summer in the western hemisphere. It’s hot. We ride early and retire to other business indoors, either in the air conditioning, or even better, at the beach with a good book.
With most of the U.S. still feeling hobbled by the coronavirus, using the down time to expand our knowledge is a great way to turn a bad situation into a good one. In today’s episode, I’m revisiting a favorite book of mine; The Compassionate Equestrian, co-authored by Susan Gordon and Dr. Allen Schoen, DVM. The book describes 25 principles that compassionate equestrians use as a guide to create healthy and productive relationships with their horses.
As we circle back to the principles of compassion when we work with our horses, this episode’s conversation digs deeper into the concept of reducing drama with your horse (and your barnmates!) by checking in with yourself and your ego. Ooooh, listen in!
