Teatime with Elsa - Episode 22

Chatting about: Boundaries…
In this episode I talk about how my horse Occasio has inspired me to think deeply about the theory around boundaries. Occasio has a tendency to be immature and test others until they set him a boundary. This perpetual testing is something I call "Dominance Addicted". How do we set a horse up to make better personal choices so they don’t need those boundaries?
