Teatime with Elsa - Episode 86

Chatting about: Throwing out the rule book…

In this episode I talk about changing who gets to decide the rules. For some students, when learning about Freedom Based Training™ it feels as though we are throwing out the rule book. We don’t actually throw out the rule book, instead we allow the horse to decide the rules. When we work in freedom, the horse gets to decide the rules around what things they would like to do with us and what things we have to work a little harder to earn an invitation for. They get to decide whether what we do is getting better or getting worse. They have the freedom to express how they feel about what we do and we learn from the feedback we receive so we can be better partners.
