Teatime with Elsa - Episode 112

Chatting about: Touch…

In this episode I talk about the desire for touching in our relationships with our horses. As humans, our relationships with our horses tend to revolve around our desire for touch. I talk about the idea of asking our horses what their preferences are and what they find important in the relationship and how they would like the dynamics in the relationship to be, and seeing what happens when we prioritize the horse’s desires and preferences over the human’s. We talk about how we can tactfully work our way into our horses’ space in ways that are kind and harmonious and see when touching is appropriate, at a time that feels good to both horse and human.
