Mastery in horsemanship begins with a commitment to self-growth and empowerment. This starts with taking ownership of our responsibility and role in interpreting our horse’s actions and performance differently. When we become aware of, and begin to develop, our side of the relationship, we open the door for mutual growth between horse and owner. Progressing in our horsemanship journey is tied to helping ourselves overcome obstacles, and embracing the best version of our self that we can be!
