Teatime with Elsa - Episode 100

Chatting about: The consistency paradox…

In this episode I talk about consistency versus variety on a spectrum. Consistency creates a feeling of comfort and safety. Variety creates a feeling of novelty, excitement and awareness. Different horses prefer, and benefit from, different ratios of consistency and variety. As we learn about our horses we can understand which is their preference and what their threshold for too much of either one is. I elaborate on the advantages and disadvantages of consistency and variety in our horses’ lives and the ways that they each affect horses differently.
