Teatime with Elsa - Episode 148

Chatting about: Focus versus distraction…

In this episode I talk about being aware of whether our horses’ feelings are getting better or getting worse from an emotional standpoint and then being able to hone our feel and timing to offer the right kinds of distractions that we know are likely to help our horse feel better before they start to feel worse, or flowing with what they have chosen to focus on. We talk about how much value there is in the skill of reading our horse’s emotional state and then being able to choose whether we want to support and flow on how they are feeling, or whether we want to offer a distraction to help prevent the feeling getting worse.
