Teaching Horses Emotional Control

In horse training, it’s not our job to protect a horse from ever feeling pressure, stress, or emotion, it’s our job to help them learn how to handle it.

A horse, just like us, is going to experience moments where emotions rise. They’ll feel uncertain, frustrated, worried, or even scared. If we never expose them to pressure and never give them the tools to work through it, then when life inevitably presents those moments, they won’t know what to do.

Our role as trainers is to guide them through emotion, not erase it. That means:
- Teaching them ways to dissipate their energy in a safe and productive way.
- Helping them learn to regulate when pressure shows up.
- Allowing them to feel, but showing them how to respond instead of react.

Avoiding pressure doesn’t build resilience, it builds fragility. Purposefully introducing challenges, and then helping a horse find release and peace on the other side, creates confidence.

The same is true for people: growth doesn’t come from avoiding what makes us uncomfortable. It comes from learning how to breathe, focus, and find balance when life gets loud.

MINE THAT BIRD ❤️🐴
The $ 9500 horse that won the Kentucky Derby 🇺🇲
Small. Overlooked.
On the morning of the 2009 Kentucky Derby, Mine That Bird wasn’t even on the radar. By the afternoon, he was a legend.

Shipped from New Mexico in a trailer behind a pickup, with 50-1 odds and no entourage, he looked more like a pony than a champion. But inside, he carried something no one could measure,an unstoppable heart.

From dead last, jockey Calvin Borel hugged the rail and flew past every favorite on the muddy track, crossing the finish five lengths ahead.

He never won another Triple Crown race. He didn’t need to. That Derby was his fairy tale.

This is so true!! 🤣🤣

If you hear a horrible screeching sound like someone is being killed in Gloucester today. Never fear it is just my 27 yr old mare squealing at a gelding through the fence. Why??…. Because she can! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🙄
