Clear Mental Horsemanship with Dennis Cappel
1. Walk ahead of him when leading.
2. Graze while leading or riding.
3. Be aggressive toward him or other horses.
4. Ignore him.
5. Crowd him
6. Not try when he has asked something of them.
7. Not moving out when he asked them to
8. Carry their body hollowed out!
That is how Dennis works with his horses. He shows up the same way every day with a Clear Mental Picture, solid, steady, and consistent. No mixed signals, no “off days,” and the horses know exactly what to expect because of it. That is what makes a secure lead, and horses respond to it every time.
What are yours?
Mindful Riding,
Dennis Cappel
