Start with breathwork—your calm is their trust. 🌿🐴
Horses have hearts 8–10x larger than ours and slower resting breaths (8–16 per minute). They notice tiny changes in your rhythm, tension, and energy, and can detect your heartbeat and breathing from up to 4 feet away.
Science shows that slow, deep human breathing lowers cortisol and activates the parasympathetic nervous system—physiological calm that horses mirror almost instantly.
The breath is the flow of life energy. Ground yourself before every session, and your calm naturally extends to your horse, creating connection, trust, and harmony.
