The Power of Waiting

waiting patience
Want to learn about one of the simplest but most effective actions we can take when working with a horse? That action is this: Doing nothing. Have you ever had someone try to show you how to do something? We all have. Some are complex and some are simple. When we learn, it takes time for us to process; to understand. A horse is no different. Often, however, a horse is not given the opportunity to think about what we've asked them before we get on their case about it. But that raises a lot of questions, doesn't it? How long to wait? What exactly should I be doing? When should I pause? In this show, we'll explore precisely when and how to implement "waiting" in order to accelerate our horse's understanding.
