Training vs. Building Relationship – Part 2: Creating True Choice and Trust
In this deep and beautiful continuation of Training vs. Building Relationship, hosts Ingela Larsson Smith and Corrie Sepcich explore what it really means to give a horse the freedom to choose relationship without pressure. Ingela shares how many common training techniques—even when called “natural”—often override a horse’s true choice, and why real trust is built in stillness, not force.
With powerful metaphors, Ingela paints the picture of becoming the kind of leader a horse wants to follow: calm, grounded, consistent, and trustworthy. She also draws rich spiritual parallels to how God invites us—not by control, but by love—to run to Him in full freedom.
If you’ve ever wanted a horse to truly connect with you—or longed for a deeper, freer relationship with God—this episode is full of clarity, challenge, and grace.
