The Importance of Vulnerability & Accountability As Equestrians

In this episode I talk about different horse training methods and my thoughts on peoples responses to them as well as the importance of people holding themselves accountable and being more vulnerable in admitting their mistakes. This covers a lot of different topics, along with some of my favourite quotes from a very good training novel. It’s a little bit of a mishmash of a bunch of different topics but I hope that you all like it! You can go to my website here: http://milestonequestrian.com ---...
