We project our fears, emotions, believes and expectations on others and we do this to our horses as well. Often we end up thinking the things we project are actually coming from the person or horse we put them on but don’t realize it’s just a reflection of us.

What it means and how to improve them!

Sometimes knowing when to quite with your horse and come back another time is the best approach. Let’s take a look at how to end on a good not and when it’s not productive.
