In this video, I share two simple tips to release tension and calm down - to get your horse to do more of what you want, perform better, and provide a better experience for both horse and rider.

The horse is often aware of your emotional state long before you are. Whether you like it or not. The horse is a herd animal and a flight animal, and this ability has helped the horse as a species to survive.

Typical situations where we are tense without even realizing it are when we are loading a horse onto a trailer, driving a young horse alone with a cart for the first time, participating in training or competitions away, or maybe even at home with an audience? It is exciting to participate in competitions, and sometimes nerves come up a little, and sometimes a lot. Often, this leads to the horse behaving differently than we hope, expect, or have trained for. This behavior often stems from our own tension that the horse picks up on and reacts to. How can we navigate our way in relation to this?
In a calmer state of mind, it's easier to communicate with the horse. It usually leads to better results.
