Cassi Thomson Instagram – A peek into what my sessions with Sequoia and @elisabethhowerofficial look like.
We’ve introduced R training temporarily to help Sequoia begin to enjoy working with humans. She’s an incredibly kind horse and seems to inherently enjoy being with people, but whenever work is introduced her stress levels rise very quickly and her mind entirely leaves the conversation.
The idea is that R will help reestablish her working relationship with humans and open the door to forming more positive experiences. Right now her negative experiences outweigh her positive ones and we want our work together to be consensual vs solely compliant. — this is something Elisabeth says to me all the time.
We’re listening to her every step of the way and doing our dammdest to help her find confidence in herself and trust in us. What a beautiful lesson for me to bear witness to and be a part of. 🥹 | Posted on 27/Aug/2023 07:39:25
