This is what we'll be talking about đŸ‘‡

No horse wants to be tense.

There’s no “healthy” level of tension in a horse. To me, tension is always negative.

Yet visit a random horse show, no matter the level, and nearly every sporthorse seems to be tense.

Why? It means that parts in a horse’s education were skipped, parts that they need to understand our challenging human environment.

Parts that if left unaddressed, will cause tension, anxiety, and stress, often shown through behavioral problems like bolting, biting, and spooking.

But what are those parts in their education?

And how can we change the industry in the horse’s interest?

The need to achieve high scores as soon as possible often causes time-pressure. At a certain age, a horse needs to be at a fitting level to retain their worth, so the training is only focused on the result.
