33 | The Power of Intentional Touch: A Simple Change That Transforms Your Horse

The Essence of Liberty Podcast

Show Notes

Many of us touch our horses without ever stopping to ask one simple question:

Does my horse actually enjoy this?

In this episode, I explore the power of intentional touch and how becoming more aware of your horse's feedback can completely transform your relationship. We discuss why many common forms of affection are simply tolerated, how to recognise the types of touch your horse genuinely enjoys, and why helping your horse release tension creates the perfect foundation for connection, learning, and liberty training.

If you want a calmer, more connected horse, this episode is for you.
