🎧 The Left Side Thing...
...why do we do almost everything on the left with horses?
Mount from the left.
Lead from the left.
Bridle from the left.
Approach from the left.
Did you ever actually question it?
Or did you just…do it because that’s how you were taught?
In Episode 87 of Zoë’s Horse Bytes, I unpack:
• Where this tradition may have originated (historically)
• Another fascinating theory linked to the horse’s nature
• And whether it still truly matters today
Because here’s the bigger question…
Is it habit?
Is it helpful?
After listening, I’d love to know:
– Does it make sense to you?
– How important do you think it really is?
– Have you noticed patterns in your own day-to-day handling because of it?
Awareness changes everything.
Sometimes the biggest changes in horsemanship don’t come from new techniques, but from questioning the old ones.
🗒️FYI: At GGWH we train both sides of the horse as equal as possible.
If not already, go listen…come back and tell me what you think.
