It’s not fun when your horse is injured or otherwise set back. But often there is more we can do than stop all progress and feel sorry for ourselves. In this episode, I’ll talk about how I handle it when my horses are injured or have setbacks, and how asking yourself what you CAN do will help you become more resourceful.

In this episode I’ll talk about the 3 filters I use to observe a horse or horse and rider. This is especially helpful when I meet a new horse and rider. It helps me see the big picture so I can best know how to help them. Diagnosing an issue can be challenging because, as many of you know, the real problem is not always the problem that shows up the most obvious.

These 3 filters help you take the myriad of infinite issues you may be experiencing, and boils it down to 3 main categories... it’s a starting point for problem-solving, and it is a blueprint for horse development.
