    #5 - Everyday is choose-your-own-adventure day : using consent-based training with your horse w/ Louisa Pillot

    Sign up for the Webinar: Fact-Checking the Equine Industry In this conversation, Louisa & I explore the concept of consent in equestrian sports, emphasizing its importance in building healthy relationships with horses. We discuss the emotional and psychological aspects of consent, the spectrum of yes and no, and the significance of understanding one's own boundaries. Through personal anecdotes, we highlight the challenges faced in equestrian training and the necessity of support and help in navigating these experiences. The discussion aims to shift the perspective on consent from a binary understanding to a more nuanced, embodied approach that respects autonomy and fosters growth. This conversation delves into the intricate dynamics of building trust and resilience in relationships, particularly in the context of horse training. We explore the importance of understanding comfort zones, navigating trainer relationships, emphasize the empowerment that comes from allowing both horses and people to express their boundaries and needs, ultimately fostering a more positive and collaborative training environment. The dialogue highlights the need for empathy, respect, and adaptability in equestrian practices, ultimately advocating for a more compassionate approach to horse training and care.
