Episode Description
Some horses appear confident while others seem reactive or unsure, but what if confidence is more nuanced than that?
In this special episode from our NF+ Masterclass, The Confidence Advantage, Tik breaks down the five distinct areas where a horse can gain or lose confidence and how each one functions like a cup that can be filled from one to ten.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Around Other Horses - Can your horse leave the herd calmly and enter new spaces without anxiety?
- As an Explorer - Do the approach new environments with curiosity instead of fear?
- In the Relationship - Do they see you as botha trusted friend and a steady leader?
- In Specific Skills - Have they practiced their job enough to feel capable and secure in it?
- In Their Skills and Sports - Practicing discipline-specific tasks with ease and gaining confidence through repetition and variety.
Tik also explains how these five areas interact and why a horse's confidence in you can help support everything else.
