I wasn't intending to share this apart from with Macchiato's owner, because, well, the unflattering Decathlon boots 🫣, but truth is these are what I'll live in for the next 6 months, so 😂
Let's instead notice how a young horse can stay mentally with her learning and with me, while her herdmate who she respects a lot has a separation moment. I didn't put audio in the reel so you can hear it.
Being able to stay regulated and with you when things around them might get hard is what I wish every young horse start would include. Imagine how different the horse-world would look, and how much less frustration, how much less pulling and pushing we might see. Imagine that every horse person would learn some real horsemanship, so that they can help a horse in these situations, instead of having to control them.
