Teatime with Elsa - Episode 156

Chatting about: Strength and weakness…

In this episode I talk about how strength and weakness plays in our relationships and motivators for connection. Problem solving together and the act of becoming stronger together is what creates connection and a bond between individuals. In Freedom Based training we want the horse to enjoy and feel good when they have our company, but we don’t want them to feel worse, frustrated or unconfident when they don’t have our company. We aim to build the individual's strength in a way that still creates a bond, connection and good associations with our company, but also improves the horses independence so they are able to help themselves feel good without relying on others.
