For years I thought horses were just being difficult. Stopping at the same corner. Refusing the trailer. Ignoring the treat right under his nose.

Then I learned how he actually sees — and I felt terrible.

He wasn’t ignoring me. He couldn’t see what I was so sure was right in front of him. A horse’s world is almost a full circle — with a blind spot in the one place we always assume he’s looking: straight ahead (and another directly behind him).

Hold a treat flat under little Scarlett’s nose and she can’t see it at all — she finds it by smell.

Once you know this, you stop arguing with them and start setting them up to win. That’s most of what „difficult horse“ really is — a rider asking for something the horse can’t yet see.

Swipe through — then tell me which one made you rethink a moment with your own horse. Comment RIDER and I’ll send you the quiz.

Field of view and blind spots per UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.

I asked Carlos, my vet, how to protect the horses‘ eyes for tonight’s eclipse.

He laughed at me. „They won’t look at it, Daniela. Horses never stare at the sun.“

He’s right. But something does happen to them tonight — and it was never the sun. It’s the light.

A horse’s eyes adjust to changing light far slower than ours. Tonight the light here drops away in about ninety seconds and floods back just as fast. We adapt in a blink. He doesn’t.

And it’s the same horse who plants his feet at the dark corner of the arena. Who won’t walk through the barn door with the sun behind you. Who stops dead at the trailer. You see a shadow. He sees a place he can’t see into yet.

Thirty-five years around horses, and no one ever taught me how a horse actually sees. Reading Janet Jones changed how I read every horse on this yard. Not naughty. Not testing me. Just seeing something I’m not.

So tonight, if you’re with yours — don’t rush him in the dark. Let him stand. Let his eyes catch up.

And if you’re the rider who tenses the second the light changes — the dark corner, the doorway, the trailer — that’s not a discipline problem. It’s your nervous system meeting his biology. That’s the whole of the work I do here.

Your horse doesn’t just meet you at the stable. He meets everything you carried there.

The rushed morning.
The argument still sitting in your chest.
The list in your head.
The pressure you haven’t quite put down yet.

We often think the ride begins when we put our foot in the stirrup.

But it begins much earlier.

It begins in the way we walk into the stable.
In our breath.
Our pace.
Our hands.
Our attention.

And this is the part I think we underestimate:

Your horse doesn’t need you to arrive perfectly calm.

He needs you to notice where you are.

Because once you notice it, you have a choice.

You can slow down.
Take one breath.
Stand with him for a moment.
Let your body arrive before you ask his to settle.

That small pause can change the entire conversation between you.

This is exactly the work behind UNSPIRAL — understanding your own nervous system, your horse’s responses, and how the two of you affect each other long before a ride “goes wrong.”

If you want to understand your own riding patterns a little better, comment RIDER and I’ll send you the quiz. 🤎

Because sometimes the first thing that needs resetting isn’t the horse.

It’s us.

Some horses tell you very clearly when they are ready.
And some tell you just as clearly when they are not.
Deseado was always intended to become a super nice riding horse. But physically, he simply needed more time, so we gave it to him.
No rush. No race against the calendar.
He stayed out, grew, developed — and now, at four, we have finally brought him in to begin his work.
And I’m rather glad we waited.
Yesterday Helena came upstairs after spending time with him and told me how incredibly sweet he is.
That made me smile.
Because behind the slightly round four-year-old body is a really lovely young horse who is beginning to show us who he might become.
And yes… I think he’s pretty damn beautiful. 🤎

The last few weeks have been intense.

I’ve been living and breathing UNSPIRAL—writing, filming, editing, rethinking, creating… and pouring years of experience into something I truly believe can help riders find their way back to confidence.

Now it’s time for something just as important.

A reset.

I’m taking a few days off to breathe, spend time with the people I love, walk through the forests of Germany, recharge, and let my own nervous system settle.

Because here’s the truth…

We don’t become better riders by constantly pushing harder.

We become better when we know when to pause.

That’s exactly what I teach inside UNSPIRAL.

Rest isn’t weakness.

It’s regulation.

Thank you for being here, for following this journey, and for cheering me on while this dream became reality.

I’ll be back very soon—with fresh ideas, fresh energy, and a heart that’s even more excited to help you and your horse.

See you after the reset. 🤍
