Before you dive in, take a minute to read this.
This post sets the tone for how we learn, share, and show up here.
âś… This IS a place for:
- People who care deeply about their horses’ physical and emotional well-being
- Riders of any discipline, level, age, or background
- Curiosity, reflection, and thoughtful conversation
- Asking why, not just how
- Learning skills and mindset together
- Seeing behavior as information, not defiance
- Open-minded discussion, experimentation, and shared learning
- Riders who are willing to keep evolving—even when it’s uncomfortable
You don’t need to have all the answers here.
You just need to be willing to ask better questions.
đźš« This is NOT a place for:
- Discipline shaming or “my way is the only way” thinking
- Dominance, intimidation, or fear-based training advice
- Quick fixes that ignore the horse’s experience
- Ego-driven hierarchy (titles matter less than curiosity here)
- Arguments meant to win instead of understand
- Rigid tradition for tradition’s sake
We can talk about any approach—
but we do it through inquiry, respect, and the lens of the horse.
đź§ How to Get the Most Out of This Lab
- Read posts with curiosity before reacting
- Share experiences, not ultimatums
- Ask questions that open dialogue
- Assume good intent—from humans and horses alike
- Remember: learning is a process, not a performance
This is a lab, not a courtroom.
We’re here to explore, test, and learn—together.
If this resonates, you’re in the right place.
If it challenges you a little… you’re still in the right place.
