Episode 138: 3 reasons people don’t develop emotional maturity in horses

Jul 7, 2021

Do you think horses can be taught to be emotionally mature? What would that look like? Can you teach a horse to ‘help you out’? Or do you expect things will always feel ‘manual’ with your horse?
In this episode I share my thoughts on emotional maturity and the three reasons people don’t teach it.
(Spoiler alert: here are the three answers)
The main reasons people don’t do it are:
1) they aren’t aware its an option
2) it is repetitive
3) repetitive is a bit boring

But it is all worth it when you get to say, “Yes!” to your horse and you’re really excited they volunteered!
