Soft Hands · Better Together Horsemanship

Soft Hands

Those of you who have had horsemanship lessons, I’m sure you have heard the term soft feel and soft hands before.

There’s a huge misunderstanding though, that soft hands are not solid. They are very solid when it comes to holding - when a horse has resistance you’ll see many people pull, but the key is to hold - like a solid tree trunk in the ground. No give, but no take either - it’s a hold. Firm, without fight - just hold.

But when the horse gives we must soften, slow down and give A LOT.

it’s a tough concept to get your head around - so later this week I’ll launch the soft hands course.

6 really good exercises for you and your horse to soften and build the lightness that feels like magic.

At half the price of a lesson and lifetime access it’s a great way to start the new year!
