A Quiet Horse Versus A Horse That’s Been Quieted

A Quiet Horse Versus
A Horse That’s Been Quieted
There’s a difference between a quiet horse and a horse that’s been quieted.
True horsemen and horsewomen always give the horse a voice — the freedom to say no.
When a horse says no, it’s not defiance — it’s information. It’s our cue to pause, listen, and revisit how we’ve prepared them. A true partnership starts there.
A quieted horse has been flooded. Its voice taken away, its sensitivity dulled, its trust replaced with tension. It no longer speaks through feel — and real communication is lost.
So ask yourself:
Do you want your horse to dance for you —
or to dance with you?
