Your correction isn’t the problem. The energy behind it is.

In any healthy relationship—human or horse—boundaries are essential. But the moment our corrections come from dominance, anger, ego, fear, or frustration… we’re no longer setting a boundary. We’re reacting.

Real boundaries come from a grounded place. A place that simply says:

“That doesn’t work for me.”
No blame. No ego. No dominance. Just clarity.

This is the work we do here.
The emotional accountability.
The clarity that invites connection instead of control.
The conversations that lead to mutual understanding.

The hardest part? Doing the work as humans to be able to set those boundaries with softness — and to receive them with grace. Because safety has to go both ways.

💬 Your horse should never feel unsafe when you say “no.”
💬 And you should never feel unsafe when your horse says “no.”

That means learning to hear them when they set a boundary — without taking it personally.
And it means learning to communicate our own boundaries — without overpowering them.

This is the deeper work.
The part of horsemanship that has nothing to do with technique…
and everything to do with who we are when we show up.

Because in the end, what we’re building isn’t obedience.
It’s a relationship.

I remain in awe of their intelligence and level of knowing. It makes it so fun to co-facilitate with them.

A recent study by scientists at Nottingham Trent University found that horses possess the ability to think and plan strategically, indicating higher cognitive reasoning than previously thought. Bookshop: www.elaineheneybooks.com 📚🐴 Documentary: www.listeningtothehorse.com 🍿
