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?

I've been riding since I was 9, and in love with horses from the day I was born. Living in Washington with my horse and 5 dogs.

Dangerous Stunts

What do I mean by stunts? Well, things like using so much pressure on the horse that he will eventually blow up, but as a professional having enough tact and skill to manage the blow up and keep it from being something dangerous. That is a great stunt that is really common, but when put in the hands of those without the tactful skills it turns into a mess.

And… the same issues exist in those plants as did American plants of inhumane slaughter practices.

My neck gets sore just watching. It is only during a poorly developed (read spoiled) walk that Edward Gal allows any freedom of the neck to his horse, and during the rest of the ride he keeps him round, round, round. Keep in mind that not only FEI rules but also Classical Dressage Masters have noted that the position of the horse’s face should be anywhere between 45 and 90 degrees depending on the horse’s individual conformation, this horse is well beyond 90 degrees.

  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!
