Empowered Equines

What an absolutely INCREDIBLE weekend!!
I don't know where to start, it was all so exciting!

I got to see all my favorite friends, Shawna Karrasch Equine, Jessie, MacKenzie Whitsell, and Tatiana EK. We also got to meet some online friends and a big group of my students were able to come learn hands on themselves!

We learned so much, as always, from Shawna and Jessie, had wonderful discussions about all sorts of horse training aspects. We talked neuroscience, emotional resilience, criteria building, and so much more! We really got into some of the nitty gritty details of the different techniques with the "If... Then..."s. We had some fabulous discussions, ideas, and stories. This was so nice for my students to take part in an adult conversation about training horses, about problem solving, about all the possibilities and niches of the horse world where positive reinforcement can be integrated. This is all new to them, what the world outside EE is like, so it was eye opening and a moment for them to take pride in what they're doing, so uniquely. Shawna and Jessie were wonderful about including the kids and supporting their learning, helping them find their confidence and feel like a real, professional trainer.

My students were both inspired and an inspiration
