Winter Horsemanship — How to Keep Your Horse Mentally Fit When You Can’t Ride
Description
Winter doesn’t have to derail your horsemanship.
In this episode, we talk about simple, effective ways to keep your horse mentally fit even when riding isn’t an option.
From groundwork that builds softness and connection, to understanding how the thinking side of your horse’s brain works, you’ll learn how just a few intentional minutes can make a big difference.
I share my own experiences from long Michigan and Montana winters — including the evenings spent doing groundwork in the headlights of my Chevy Malibu — and how those cold months shaped some of the best foundational work I’ve ever had with my horses.
If you’re feeling discouraged by the weather, limited time, or lack of an indoor, this episode will help you find confidence, motivation, and a fresh perspective on winter horsemanship.
