Coaching vs. Training

This week , we’re diving into the important distinction between coaching and training. While training a horse often focuses on the physical aspects—what they can do and how they respond—coaching goes deeper, engaging the emotional and mental components of horsemanship. A great coach doesn’t just teach; they lead, communicate, and encourage, helping both horse and rider develop confidence, understanding, and trust. In this episode, I'm sharing some parallels between coaching and horsemanship, emphasizing how a thoughtful, patient approach can create lasting progress in and out of the arena.
