Sometimes events can stack on top of us and start feeling overwhelming and very un-fun. It's like that time when the dishwasher breaks the night before guests arrive, when you are already dealing with a whole load of work pressure, a flare up from an old back injury, a child who needs you right now and a house that desperately needs cleaning before the guests turn up. It's enough to make you want to scream right!?  Well, that un-fun, overwhelmed feeling happens to horses too. And it's often responsible for the crazy behaviour they can do, that just seems to come out of nowhere.  But the truth is, it doesn't come out of nowhere. When we really start to understand our horses, and what their priorities and needs are, we become much better at predicting, and therefore avoiding, those outbursts.  In this episode, I explain how you can do just that, and in doing so, keep yourself, and your horse, safer.
