Do You Talk to Your Horse ? “HeartMind Speak” Part I
Tuesday, December 17 2013

I think this was a way to find out if there were other people out there who always heard the “little voices in their heads”. Come on all your closet ‘horse whispers” admit you talk to your horse all the time. You can tell alot about a trainer and your barn if you just listen to the dialogue going on

We addressed “stress at horse shows” in the last blog, so now lets discuss a bit about fear – the other main culprit causing spookiness in horses.
