Methods & Modalities

About this episode

Amy and Ross discuss the benefits and pitfalls of structured modalities in the horse world.

Within the horse world, whether we are horse owners, trainers, hoof-care professionals or bodyworkers, we are taught how to do things — the “right” techniques, the trusted methods, the proven systems. But what happens when those very methods start to limit us? In this episode, Amy and Ross explore both the benefits and pitfalls of working within structured modalities. When does guidance support the horse, and when does it box us in? If you've ever questioned whether you're following a formula or truly seeing the whole horse, this conversation will challenge and inspire your learning mindset. - Enjoyed listening to the latest episode?
