7 | Liberty on GRASS: How to approach this common challenge!

The Essence of Liberty Podcast

Show Notes

I'm sure you have experienced this before:

You want to do liberty with your horse. You want to grow your relationship together, and you want him to WANT to participate in the training!

You start by giving your horse the choice to participate or not and his choice is... to graze.

Well... that's fun 🙄 Now what??

In this podcast episode, we dive into the reasons why your horse chooses to graze rather than participate in the training (some of the reasons may surprise you!), and how to approach this common challenge without taking your horse’s choice away.

If you’ve enjoyed this episode, you will also enjoy the free masterclass “Launch into Liberty: Where and How To Begin”. You can access it on the link below: https://www.nadinelindblom.com/masterclass-registration
