Send us a text How closely is a horse’s environment linked to training? In this episode, Louise (a trainer and hoof care provider) and I dive into how a horse’s living conditions directly influence behaviour, learning, and training outcomes. Through real-life stories and shared thought processes, we explore how movement, footing, social connection, and daily environment shape the horse long before any “training” even begins. This episode offers some powerful insights and gentle mindset shifts that may change how you view both training and horse care.
