Breathe | The Before and After of Horse Riding

I made this movie after working with a number of horses with problems and watching others walk down that path.
Too many people watching the behavior, and forgetting to really question the why. For some riders it is a lack of knowledge. For others it is ignorance, pride, maybe even turning a blind eye.
When we ask a horse to work we have taken on a responsibility. There is reason behind every action. Whether it be pain, fear, need to be dominant, misunderstanding, or something else. If you know why you can react why. When you don't know why it is more likely to send you down the wrong path.
I am not perfect, no one is. I have made mistakes, and will make more. Learn and grow from them, but don't ignore and hide them.
Take the time to understand.
The horse won't lie.
2020 Notes: I decided to make this viewable again on my channel. The original music was pulled years ago and I pulled the video as well. While I am trying to put a more fitting (not copyrighted) track on it, this is an old video and even KZbin seems confused. Until then, ride on!

I remember watching this a long time ago and was 1 of the people cheering you on. I'm so glad you put it back up. Real horse people can see you have a good seat.

I like what you say in your text. Always asking the why behind any behavior is the key! Great reminder for all. Thank you for sharing :)
