It’s hard to talk and listen at the same time. If I am always telling my horses what to do, how to be, or ignoring them, when will I have the chance to listen to them? This has been the essence of my horse challenge – Buddy and the others have insisted that I take my listening skills to a new level. I hope I am giving them the deep level of try that I see them bring into my training sessions.
