Topic: How we manage ourselves can make us part of a solution or part of a problem we are having with our horse. Learning how to redirect our own thoughts can help us learn to calm our emotional state when our horse pushes our last button. Learning techniques, like HeartMath or Alexander Technique, away from our horse can give us the tools for developing a calm, unflappable response, allowing us to look at things from multiple perspectives - no matter what our horse throws at us! Remaining calm when a horse is losing it, is the one quality that all masterful horsemen and horse women have in common.
