Two horses standing in a shipping box facing each other

Simon Sinek presents a fascinating idea – a different perspective towards inspiration and leadership.

As equestrians we're more than just riders or passengers in the saddle. We are also leaders for our horses and for our fellow equestrians.

How are we approaching leadership? In a conscious way or just flinging ourselves toward a hopeful result? What do you take away from this video and how it can be applied to ourselves and our horses?

Many times as equestrians we overlook the habitual actions we make with our horses. Even more common is to behave in one way with one horse and another way entirely with another. We lack personal consistency and self-awareness to our actions and that inhibits our ability to understand fully our own horses’ reactions and actions.

What does it mean to be a weak rider? Is it the inability to hold the correct posture and position in the saddle? Is it the lack of strength in the aids to apply them correctly and productively? What if weak riding were not a bad thing, but a highly sought after reality?

  1. It was a very good talk. It is interesting. I came away with not how to be with my horse, but how to inspire others to try to have a deeper relationship with their horses. Thanks for sharing!
