Horses That Come In Too Close

30 Day Jumpstart Step 17 – Common Problems You Might Encounter When Working On Flowchart Horses That Come In Too Close

Horses that come in too close

If your horse creeps up into your space, there are a few ways to handle this without breaking the connection or attunement.  What we don’t want to do is TELL them to get back.  We are not telling them to do things yet, we are still responding to what they do.  

The first way you can create space is with an exercise that is called Creating Space While Keeping Connection. 

If your horse wants to engage a little too much, you can also use this technique (it works online as well)
