Horse Play.
Horse play is about having fun with horses. As you begin to understand their psychology you can develop your relationship so that he will want to connect with you. Instead of working our horses we start to 'play' with them. They will try harder to please you and do as you want. Before long you can have more fun with your horse than you ever imagined. Mindful Horsemanship will give you strategies and tools so that you and your horse can enjoy yourselves more.
