Social media can dilute the authenticity of the work. Incremental progress that builds over time is often the reality in training. Horses provide honest feedback about training and bodywork. Time and focus is essential for achieving real results in training. Hands-on training is vital for effective bodywork education. Clear communication is necessary to manage client expectations. The Dunning-Kruger effect...it's a thing. Observation is key to understanding horse behavior and needs. Empowering horse owners leads to better outcomes for horses.
