    What a sabbatical taught me about pressure and release

    Episode 66: I took a recent sabbatical to study the concept of pressure and release. What I learned was that there is a huge difference between moving away from pressure versus going toward softness. Both approaches might seem like they get to the same goal. But they each have very different ways of HOW you reach the goal — whether you only move away from pressure (a negative) or whether you actively seek something positive (softness). This is true for both people and horses. How you get to the goal is just as important (maybe even more important) than reaching the goal itself.

    Episode 65: Cowboy clinicians taught me that grit and refinement go hand in hand. Horsemanship is the art of balance — yin and yang. As Buck Brannaman once said, “Gentle in what you do. Firm in how you do it.” This lesson was profound for me — and kept me safe years later while working with a troubled horse.
